Now, I think there's a simple choice here. Either the Government should accept that its response and its measures are late and give people the due process and opportunity to have their voices heard and proper lawmaking process considered, or democracy can suffer. That's really the question. This Government's level of organisation, this Government's reputation; that's one set of considerations. And the other set of considerations is the long-term health of New Zealand democracy and the simple idea that every adult New Zealander has the right to elect a representative to speak for them, go to select committees and scrutinise bills, and be heard—a proper democratic lawmaking process.
