CHRIS PENK: An unprecedented number of times, says Mr van de Molen, thereby threatening to send me down a meta spiral of unprecedented speech-making. However, I think it's worth assessing. Even just on the health side of things the pandemic has been unprecedented in the sense that we haven't ever had one since the last one. And in a funny way, there's nothing more expected, at least as a matter of fact, if not timing and nature, than a health crisis and a pandemic. So it behoves all Governments—and I make this point with no particular partisanship—to be well prepared for such events. Of course, part of that means learning from the ones that we are experiencing at the moment. To that end, in the spirit of helpfulness, I would like to examine some of the lessons that we can learn—I say, particularly the Government, because they have been the decision makers, of course, in the way of things. But I would like them to take on board—and I say this on behalf of the Helensville electorate but also any other New Zealanders who might happen to agree with what I'm saying—the extent to which their response has not been unprecedented and the extent to which it has merely been a continuation of some of the themes that we've had these past 2½ years—for example, the lack of delivery measured against their own promises. Of course, the discussion is in the context of the Budget, but it's part, again, of a bigger picture than that.
