I find it deeply saddening that, given the opportunity, this House cannot lift—on the other side of the House—the debate beyond squabbling over the issues of the day: of the minimum wage increases, of the cost of fuel brought on by a war in Ukraine. What we are debating here is about marking out who we are as a people in 21st century New Zealand. I am immensely proud that we as a Government are doing this; we are taking the time to consider what it means to be a New Zealander in the 21st century.
