Hon RON MARK (Minister of Defence): Thank you, Mr Speaker. Well, what can I say? I'm quite astonished and gobsmacked. I listened to that member's earlier speech and it was characterised by reason, gratitude, even lauded and applauded officials and the Government for the act that it had taken in supporting that legislation. Now we have this bill before the House, which is the COVID-19 Public Health Response Bill—a bill which I and my party, New Zealand First, believe is absolutely essential if we're to get through stage 2 and back to normality as quickly as we possibly can whilst minimising a spike in infections and a re-emergence of COVID-19.
