Dr DEBORAH RUSSELL (Labour—New Lynn): Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, members of this House, I ask you to cast your minds back to a year ago. A year ago, when we returned to this House after the summer break and after the celebrations at Waitangi, and at that time the first rumours, the first knowledge of a new coronavirus was making its way to New Zealand. We were looking at the stories coming out of other countries and starting to realise that this could be very serious. At that time the virus had not even been named, it was still the novel coronavirus. It was only, I think, towards the end of February that it acquired the name COVID-19. How much our world has changed since then, how much it has changed, and how much our response to COVID-19 has had to shape what the previous Government did, the Government in the 52nd Parliament, and what this Government in the 53rd Parliament will be doing, and I'm proud to be part of that Government.
