Good summary of Clueless Cindy & her team of incompetents I read today:
‘ ….. a Government that has failed to deliver anything but nice photo-ops and prime ministerial homilies, and a Covid response that is no longer better than average.’
The future beckons, NZers who want a united, functioning and economically strong country, to vote in a real government - not this bunch of socialists failures led by a clueless ‘leader’ who have never held a real job or create jobs and real wealth ever in their taxpayer funded lives.
The Clueless Cindy trying to cover up the spin she received from her army of taxpayers’ funded propaganda and deflection team.
Remember how her government would bring in a refreshing era of transparency & accountability?
Reality is that she was a stale old sow all along.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s office apparently “overlooked” briefing notes relating to farmer protest group Groundswell NZ, and they may now be made public.
Stuff sent an Official Information Act request to Ardern in July asking for all letters, emails, documents relating to Groundswell NZ.
The Ombudsman's office has now told Stuff that on October 26, the Chief of Staff for the Prime Minister [Raj Nahana] advised that there were some briefing notes provided by Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s Policy Advisory Group to the Prime Minister that had some relevance to the request, and that these had not been identified in their initial search and were subsequently overlooked when responding to Stuff.
Once again Jacinda stands with China, and not our other traditional allies and democracies.This is dangerous ground standing with a communist dictatorship, while telling the world how kind she is.
China is using NZ as a wedge and we are foolish to be going along with it.

Jacinda is balancing trade with a policy of “integrity” with China, which seems a sensible policy to me. China has not used “economic coercion” with NZ as it has with Australia.
Jacinda said "We do still believe that we have the maturity in our relationship to raise issues that we're concerned about, be it human rights issues, be it labour issues, be it environmental issues," Ardern said. "And it's very important to us that we continue to be able to do that and do that regardless of those trading ties."
“China responded by imposing tariffs on Australian commodities, including wine and barley, and limited imports of Australian beef, coal and grapes - a move the US called "economic coercion".
This has not affected China's ties with New Zealand, however, as both nations upgraded a free trade agreement in January, although NZ united with Australia over China human rights issues.

Tonight the US announced a change to their entry rules. They now require all arrivals showing a negative test within 24 hours of flying, used to be 72 hours. Of course NZ is caught off guard or non interested and does not provide an option of 24 hrs. Only 72 hrs, slowest in the World !!
All Australian international airports offer results within 90 minutes.
Hey dobby, panda, JoshuaTree et al, pathetically justifying our crap management, what do you say ? All good. Ooops. Sorry, I should've known the answer. "We have the lowest death rate in the OECD"
What a pathetic country NZ has been turned into !
China telling NZ to keep in line. As they do.
Wang said New Zealand kept a “low-profile” in the Taiwan Strait.

You'll likely see Australia have a more moderate position as a new government comes in.
