But it's also a time when the Minister appears to be reflecting on how the COVID response has gone. He said we've done a great job. He said things are changing, we're on the wind-down. Well, if he's going to say that, let me join in some reflections. There are things in life you can control and things you can't control. What the Government could control were things like delivering personal protective equipment (PPE) on time. Did it deliver it on time? Did it have contact tracing that met the gold standard of 80 percent of cases traced within 96 hours? Did it have a vaccination roll-out that partnered with GPs and pharmacies and hapū to get the vaccine to the people in a format they trusted on time and under budget? Did they have, for example, testing that was fast and reliable and easily scalable, or did they rely on one provider and one type of testing and ban all others, including saliva tests and rapid antigen tests? We know the answers to all those. Ashley Bloomfield went on TV and said there was no shortage of PPE, and, every night on TV, we saw doctors saying, "Well, I haven't seen any at my hospital."
