Collins JudithGENERAL DEBATEHon JUDITH COLLINS (Leader of the Opposition): I move That the House take note of miscellaneous business.Thank you very much Mr Speaker. Well what a summer of chaos there is ahead for New Zealanders—not only Aucklanders but New Zealanders. We've heard today from the Prime Minister that in two weeks' time Cabinet is going to make a decision and she told us today what the decision was—that we're going to move to some sort of traffic light system because she's basically abandoned the 90 percent double-vaccination target that has lasted all of I think three weeks under this Government. We've had four plans in two months from this Government and every one of them has ended in failure. Today we had the Prime Minister unsure as to whether or not 12-year-olds could be stopped and asked for their photo ID when they wanted to cross with their families through into say the Waikato from Auckland to the Waikato or back again. We're going to have police—no apparently it's not the intention that police will be able to stop people in their holiday destination on the street to check whether or not they've been double-vaccinated or they have their negative COVID test. What sort of country is this when a Government fails so utterly miserably when it comes to getting a vaccination roll-out where only 20 percent of New Zealanders were double-vaccinated when the first week of this lockdown started? And now it's New Zealanders' fault. Actually it's Aucklanders' fault under this Government. The Prime Minister has been in Auckland once in three months for one day—two visits; two staged managed visits. She's never been to see the hospitality sector that's on its knees. She's never gone to tell them why her Government has failed and to apologise. And while she's talking about business let's talk about managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ). What an utter disgrace that a million New Zealanders are no longer part of our team. It shouldn't just be the team of 5 million; it should be the team of 6 million Kiwis the people who are the forgotten Kiwis that this Government can't be bothered with.For Christmas this year around just about every table there'll be an empty seat and that empty seat will be the Kiwi family member who can't get home. They're not allowed to come home. They're not allowed to come home because they're double-vaccinated they don't have COVID and yet we have double-vaccinated gang members—not double-vaccinated gang members; actually COVID-positive gang members in the community who are supposed to be self-isolating. Today I want to deal with a very very serious issue and that is about what's happening in South Auckland hospice—Totara Hospice. I say this for this reason: they can't survive now when a Government has locked everyone down. They have to visit families in their homes to visit dying people with cancer and sometimes with COVID and cancer. They're getting nothing from this Government for that. And in that they're saying to me self-isolating people with 18 people in a three-bedroom home in a garage—that's what self-isolation in South Auckland means under this Government where people don't have anywhere suitable to self-isolate; that's what MIQ should be used for.Instead we've got people going into homes like that and dealing with that situation. This Government—you know what they've given to the South Auckland hospice? Twenty-one thousand dollars—that's it. That's their resurge payment; that's what they get. They could close because this Government can't organise anything. It calls an announcement a plan. Its announcements are nothing more than PR spin and today we heard an appalling situation where the Prime Minister couldn't answer the most basic questions about what her new rules actually mean. So Aucklanders are going to be—we've been concerned obviously. Many New Zealanders have been concerned about you know different classes of citizen. There's going to be two all right; it'll be Aucklanders and everyone else and the Aucklanders are going to be the people who have to carry their pass. I'm not quite sure how it is that we're going to have people saying I'm not really an Aucklander; I'm really from"—I don't know—"Wellington." I know that that might suit the Prime Minister but there's an awful lot of us who still actually care about our electorates. I think it's really important that we understand there's no plan from these people. We've got the plan. And the only message I would say to every New Zealander to keep absolutely clear in their mind: we need a new Government and the only way to change the Government is National. Thank you very much."
