Doocey Matt; Dean JacquiMATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): Thank you very much for allowing me to take this call Mr Speaker. As you've probably realised during the day I've been quite keen to get up and say something. So now is my opportunity. What I want to say is: how good was National's plan today for the COVID-19 response? I just want to acknowledge our leader the Hon Judith Collins; Chris Bishop as our COVID recovery spokesperson; and our deputy leader Dr Shane Reti; who I think did the work of a thousand officials and they published a very detailed plan. Their plan was about evolving and opening up to the rest of the world. It was also about dealing with COVID and this pandemic. Clearly with this Government it is all about lockdown it is all about the control—SPEAKER: Order! Order! The member's now used 20 percent of his speech. He will get on to the bill.MATT DOOCEY: Thank you very much Mr Speaker. It was interesting that one of the Labour callers said tonight that they were very proud of this bill because this bill showed that they had been listening and the changes in this bill were from listening. It is interesting because in the regulatory impact statement (RIS) around external consultation it said that time frames did not allow for external consultation. So I am not sure who they were listening to. In fact they told key stakeholders that the way that they could become involved was to submit in the select committee process which we find out today is only going to go for about six weeks. So here we have a bill that there has been no external consultation on and the ability for stakeholders to make a submission for what is going to be a rushed select committee process. On this side of the House we don't think that is going to be the way for making good law.It is really interesting when you carry on looking at the RIS and you look at the language and the proposition of why we need this bill. Of course when you look at this Government when it is about the failure of their plan it is not their fault—it is not about the failure of the roll-out of vaccines; it is about the individual's fault isn't it? Remember the KFC worker?Hon Member: Yes.MATT DOOCEY: Yeah all their fault! So how do you give the public a kick? Well let's increase the infringement penalties. That'll do it because the risk to the country is the public not doing what they are told by the Government!I think what is really interesting is when I've spoken on previous bills and the amount of times I've heard from the Government that just increasing the financial penalty doesn't change behaviour. Yet let's have a look at some of these increases. I mean the infringement fee from an individual has grown from $300 to $4000. Because of course when you look at the language being used it is that the failure of our elimination strategy won't be about the Government's performance; it will be about the public and their behaviour and are they responding to an ever-encroachment on their freedoms by this Government? One thing that we are hearing is the tension out in New Zealand of When did we agree to have a Government in our life every day?" That is going to be the flashpoint going forward.So I'm not sure how bringing in legislation like this that is going to be rushed—the responsible Minister hardly was able to explain it in his first reading speech. Maybe we will get the answers in the select committee process that will allow National to support this bill. But there is a lot in this bill that gives us concern because what does it actually mean? What does it mean when you will withhold people's personal possessions in managed isolation and quarantine? What does it mean when you cause an offence with an infringement officer who perceives you likely to contravene a rule—not contravene the rule but likely to—and what is going to be the test of that? This'll be interesting. This Government will rush it through in six weeks and let's see what happens at the second reading. Thank you Madam Speaker. ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): Debbie Ngarewa-Packer—a five-minute call."
