SIMON O'CONNOR (National—Tāmaki): I'd like to torpedo that boat. I want to bookend this speech with words from someone else who's far more eloquent than myself. He says, "when human societies lose their freedom, it's not necessarily because tyrants have taken it away. It's usually because people willingly surrender their freedom in return for protection against some external threat. And … That's what I fear we are seeing now." That's been said by Lord Sumption, the English supreme court justice and judge, discussing COVID-19 only a few days ago. I agree with Lord Sumption that this is the most anti-democratic piece of legislation being put before this Parliament. I repeat it again: it is anti-democratic. It is against the values of this democracy, this Parliament, our constitutional sovereignty. It is against the principles of law and ethics.
