Hon SHANE JONES (Minister of Forestry): Thank you, Madam Speaker. There's a line that I recall, from when I was a lad at St Stephen's School, out of the Bible: "But the hour cometh, and now is". Without a doubt, every single member of the House wants to align their interests, I am absolutely sure, with the inevitable challenges, hardship, uncertainty, and pain that lies ahead of us with the arrival of the viral black swan: an event no one contemplated, an event that has long and dangerous consequences, and will be rationalised post-event for many years to come.
