Seymour DavidDAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): Thank you Mr Speaker. I want to talk about my home city of Auckland because it seems that nobody in the Government is. Every Labour Party speaker has got up and told us how fantastic Super Saturday was. The fact is it really tells us that this Government is run like a PR agency. The optics matter more than the substance in their mind and the cute thing is about these new backbench Labour MPs: I think they really believe it.Well let me just give you a few facts about Super Saturday: 39000 first doses—that's the number that that is; it's the first doses that matter because people eventually get their second dose. So the fact they got their second dose with a saussie is not actually an achievement; they were always going to get it. It's the first doses that matter and 39000 first doses was the 21st best day in this vaccine stroll-out". And they call that a triumph. There were 20 days where more people got their first dose than the so-called Super Saturday with the saussies.And then you might say: "Well at least things are getting better because they've got some enthusiasm and didn't everyone come together well?" Well here's some more hard facts. If you take the first doses for the day since Super Saturday—and remember 39000 on Saturday—how many on Sunday? Six thousand. How many on Monday? Ten thousand. How many on Tuesday? Ten thousand. Well the facts are that that compares with the previous Sunday—6000 plays 9000. The previous Monday: 10000 plays 15000. The previous Tuesday: 10000 plays 17000. Every day since Super Saturday has been dramatically worse than the previous week for first vaccinations. And even when you count Super Saturday the average of the last four days has been 15000; the previous week the average was 16000. So we actually had better results in the last week than we have had this week of Super Saturday. That's the hard reality.Now people listening at home did they hear how that Labour backbench got a bit quiet? There it is: that's the sound of the Labour backbench confronted with the facts because they've drunk the kool aid they believe in the marketing they believe in the hype. Well let me tell you: the people in Auckland going into their 65th day of lockdown under this Government they don't believe the hype any more. There are so many paradoxes and contradictions in this Government's response to COVID. We had the Prime Minister stand up yesterday and say the vaccine "stroll-out" was going so well—was going so well. Well riddle me this: how is it possible the Government's doing such a great job on the vaccine "stroll-out" and we still have the highest restrictions in Auckland of any city in the world.And then they say it's too dangerous for Kiwis to come home—tens of thousands of people stuck offshore separated from their families. As Brooke van Velden our deputy leader pointed out at question time partners of pregnant women stuck overseas they can't get an exemption even to go through the 14 days of managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ). But do you know who does get to skip the 14 days? Gang members. We're supposed to be bringing back health professionals. The Government said today there'd be 300 spots for them in December. What that tells me is they're still going to be running MIQ in December with the borders locked down. I've got a tip for those pharmacists that are health professionals. If they put down on the form that they're drug dealers they'll get to skip MIQ because that's the fact; that's the contradiction. And how is it possible that someone who's double-vaxxed a Kiwi trying to return home has to go through 14 days of MIQ after a negative test and that's if they're lucky to get a spot but someone who has tested positive for COVID is allowed to isolate at home—and Chris Hipkins told us in question time there's 86 people like that. What an insult to those Kiwis stuck offshore.There's so many paradoxes. The Government is so confident so well ahead of the game they're planning everything so perfectly but they can't even tell us what they're going to announce on Friday. They can't tell us what happens next week let alone next month. This is the most incompetent hopeless Government in the history of New Zealand and Auckland is paying the price."
