PENNY SIMMONDS (National—Invercargill): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I rise to take this split call to speak in opposition to the COVID-19 Response (Vaccinations) Legislation Bill. After spending much of last week amending the legislation when it was already out of date, we have another bill to amend it, and this bill and the processes to pass it are absolutely indicative of the Government's whole approach to COVID: confusing, lacking in planning, haphazard, slow, self-congratulatory, arrogant, and an affront to democracy in New Zealand.
