Hon TRACEY MARTIN (Minister for Seniors): I rise on behalf of New Zealand First to address the COVID-19 Public Health Response Bill. There are certain powers inside this piece of legislation that are required for the country to keep moving forward down the alert levels. The majority of New Zealanders understand the need for those powers. The majority of New Zealanders over alert level 4 and alert level 3 have followed the instructions for the betterment of the nation, and—as the Minister for Seniors—they've done so to protect those who they love who are over the age of 70. They have seen some New Zealanders flout those requirements and put the "law abiding"—was the phrase that was used by Mr Mitchell—at risk.
