This is quite a significant day for the New Zealand Parliament. New Zealand Parliament has always sat in this or a similar debating chamber for the entire time of its existence and members, up until now, have not been able to participate remotely—they've either been here or they haven't. The reality of the global pandemic is we are entering into a phase now where more people will be unable to attend the parliamentary debating chamber, either because they have COVID-19 or because they are isolating because they have been exposed to somebody—a household contact, for example—who has COVID-19. It is quite conceivable that in the next few weeks we will see some, potentially, senior members of Parliament unable to attend and participate in parliamentary proceedings unless we find an alternative way for them to do so.
