CHLÖE SWARBRICK (Green—Auckland Central): E te Māngai, tēnā koe. Tēnā koutou e te Whare. I'm contributing to this bill on behalf of the Greens tonight, at the last minute on behalf of Ricardo Menéndez March, who, of course, is also filling in for our transport spokesperson, typically Julie Anne Genter. This weekend, out in the electorate, a constituent asked me if I thought that the war in Ukraine was going to lead to many countries and negotiators, internationally, perhaps being less inclined to take action on the reduction of climate-changing emissions. This constituent shared that they had been listening to an academic who had said that in moments when unexpected things happen, there is a tendency from decision makers—that is, politicians across the world—to play it safe, to make no sudden movements, and resort to the tried and true rule book. I answer that this is very much a real risk, but that we only have to look, in fact, at the disruption of COVID-19 to see how many nations and politicians will shirk their responsibility for the slow-moving climate crisis when confronted with another crisis.
