Hon NIKKI KAYE (National—Auckland Central): I want to take a moment at the outset of this speech to acknowledge all of our doctors, our grocery workers, our teachers, and our nurses, who have been at the front line of COVID-19. I also want to take a moment to acknowledge our public servants. We are on the back of one of the most challenging events in our history, and, on this side of the House, we absolutely supported the Government to flatten the curve. We have done very well as a nation in flattening the curve and reducing the virus in society, but the huge debate—and that we are on the eve of seeing the true cost of this to our country—has been whether you go after the needle in the haystack, whether you eliminate or try to eliminate the virus to the nth degree, and then the cost to the country of that. On this side of the House, we do believe that there have been major issues in the Government's response. We acknowledge that they have been dealing with a fast-evolving, difficult situation, but we have to continue to expect more of our parliamentarians and our Government than ever before at this time in our history.
