DAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise on behalf of ACT in opposition to this motion to ratify these orders. I think it's worth looking at what they actually say, in order to see why that is. You know, the first, the COVID-19 Public Health Response (Protection Framework) Amendment Order (No 8) 2022—it says, "Primarily, this order relaxes some of the restrictions that usually apply to a person when that person is accessing premises in order to vote in an election of a member of Parliament". I think it shows what a conflict there is between the continuation of a COVID-19 response that makes little sense, that does not have coherent goals atop it, and does not have good cost-benefit analysis or really logical common sense behind it, and trying to get on with ordinary life, including doing things such as voting in elections that are essential to New Zealand's way of life. The fact that the Government, enabled by the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act, was required to pass a special exemption in order to ensure that people could vote in an election, I think shows what a conflict there is. And that's why, while in theory this order is a good thing, actually the whole regime needs to go.
