But we also require some more honesty from our Government about where we're up to in the fight against COVID-19. We need to confront the simple fact that the rate of growth in new cases was already flat-lining as the lockdown came into effect. The Prime Minister said this morning we had a transmission rate of four before the lockdown. Well, that's news, because Shaun Hendy says he couldn't calculate it. She should tell us which days that rate of infection that was so important to key decisions occurred. It's not good enough to obfuscate the numbers and then point to the worst-performing countries in the world, pat New Zealanders on the head, and say, "Aren't you lucky that you're not them?" That is the politics of fear and post-justification, and we need to have a politics of aspiration and openness as this situation carries on.
