CHLÖE SWARBRICK (Green—Auckland Central): E te Māngai, tēnā koutou; tēnā koutou e te Whare. In a flood, you could have 10 people working together to build a boat that would house all of them through that crisis, or you could have one person hoarding nine-tenths of the materials necessary to make that boat, scolding the others for not working hard enough. The boat would not be built. Those rising waters wouldn't care about who held the most status or the most money. In moments of crises, we tend to realise we've got to cast aside the dead-weight ideas that hold us back. Psychologists call the exhaustion and the brain fade that many of us are experiencing two years into this global pandemic "moral fatigue". It is when things keep shifting and changing, when you're not quite sure what others are doing, when it feels as though you're having to think really in-depth about every single step or decision that you make and the potential impacts or consequences of those decisions, when you feel as though you are fighting just to survive.
