Indeed, it's worth noting that through the COVID period, in the initial lockdown, there were extensive debates, some of them behind closed doors in a previous Parliament that can now be more easily discussed, where the Speaker of the House came to a meeting armed with a list of dates when other Parliaments around the world would be shut, as if that was justification for our Parliament to be shut too. The argument was made by some members of that Business Committee that, actually, we shouldn't aim to be average, we certainly shouldn't aim to be the worst; New Zealand should aim to protect parliamentary democracy and scrutiny at all times, and fairly balance public health risks with the right of New Zealanders to elect a representative, to speak on their behalf and scrutinise the actions of the executive for them. That is the context and the contrast into which this motion passes today.
