Bayly AndrewANDREW BAYLY (National—Port Waikato): Thank you. Well I thought I might talk about COVID and what's been happening over the last year.Todd Muller: That'll be something different.ANDREW BAYLY: Yes slightly different. Of course since the announcement was made this time 12 months ago we've spent a cool $40 billion—I think that some of us forget that. But I think what is happening now is: this concept about a team of 5 million slogans like Building Back Better" I think they are just fraying at the edges a little bit.I'll tell you what Madam Speaker I know you are from the South Island but if you'd been in Auckland last week—or the week before actually when we had our third lockdown it was a debacle. It was an absolute debacle in the sense that we had a Government that once again made residents very very concerned about what was happening with potential infections sent us into a lockdown for a week and not one new case came to light. And then we had that ridiculous sham—that ridiculous sham—of the Prime Minister delaying the announcement even though the decision had been made on the Friday until the next morning and she expected cafes hoteliers and all those sorts of people to be able to ring up their staff and have them there within half an hour for lunch and to get all the supplies on a Saturday morning. It was a sham shambles and outrageous. What did that cost the country? Oh I don't know; maybe a cool $300 million; maybe $400 million—$400 million is what this Government has only been prepared to give to the tourism industry even though it has spent 40 billion bucks over the last 12 months. We have got places all around the country that are suffering incredibly but this Government can't give any support—any real support—to those companies particularly in the tourism industry that really need a hand—really need a hand.Then we hear today the Hon David Bennett asking "What about helping our agriculture sector?" We heard "Oh yes we've opened up the scheme to allow immigrants to come in from Niue but we won't open it up to places like Vanuatu. We won't open to places like Samoa that don't have COVID who rely on New Zealand who were prepared to come here and help our industries." No no no no; it's all about innovation. How long does it take to put innovation in place? How long? How long if you are running a business does it take to put innovation in place?I'll give you an example of innovation. Under this Government they put up and gave as part of an innovation grant $3 million to a firm. This has happened over the last 12 months. It's all about a specific recycling business. One of the people there is an immigrant and because this Government won't allow his family to come to New Zealand that one operator—and he is a very very specialised operator—as soon as he can will be leaving this country because he cannot get his family here. I think that is really really insensitive.We have also had my good colleague Erica Stanford talking about what it means for nurses. We need 2000 nurses to do the vaccination—2000 nurses. We've got a lot of international nurses working in New Zealand and of course because the Government won't let their families in they will disappear overnight as soon as they get the opportunity to do it.Now a smart Government might have said "Let's go to the private sector. Let's have a discussion with the private sector because they might be able to help that." But of course this Government knows all! It doesn't know how to engage with businesses. We've already heard the CEOs say to the Government "Lay out your plan. Lay out your economic plan. Lay out your vaccination plan. Lay out your health plan." Nothing. There is no plan. You only react—sorry Madam Speaker—this Government only reacts to pressure from this Opposition and from the media—and from the media. What does it look like in the polls? This is costing us a lot of money.Why don't you open up New Zealand to Australia—the bubble with Australia? Why don't we have some of those Australian supporters who wanted to come and see our good netball team beat them here the cricketers come and get beaten by the New Zealand teams? We should be allowing them in. Why don't you like Australians?"
