It is a best in the world response though so some are right to be a bit skeptical of some of the people criticising. Do they want us to do worse?

We're one of over 191 countries even though the media doesn't like to provide international context.
Taiwan beats us an that's pretty much it.

A load of rubbish. The Government has NO plan other than locking down the country. That’s not a plan.

We're not China where state planning is a thing. which other country has "a plan" other than wait for a vaccine, which we are doing exceptionally well at thus far.

#50 in active cases only bested by small population or third world countries and countries hiding their figures (UK).

I agree we are “Doing exceptionally well” at waiting for a vaccine. But that could be a long wait and closing the borders and parts of the country on and off is not a plan. The number of active cases is not the sole measure of success. I suggest to you that all the Scandinavian countries (yes including Sweden) and several others in Europe as well as Taiwan are doing just as well as NZ with containing COVID and better with limiting economic damage. But only time will tell

And it's great they don't have clowns like Twyford at no. 4 in their ranks. That really should make anyone wonder about the rest of them.

Oh and your lot have Collins at Number 1!!

Hasn't been a bad plan so far - your lot would have us riddled with the disease by now.

The plan is - okay to allow Wallabies in but not much needed seasonal workers. Same quarantine structure but there’s no votes in the business sector.

What I haven't appreciated is being called a misogynist by a peer for daring to critique the government's response. I never even directed anything personally at Jacinda, but apparently my lack of appreciation of the policies means that I don't like strong women leaders. Reading through the various comments on social media, I've noticed similar responses to others in the same position. This is not a sign of a healthy democracy.

Cindy is a politician and as cynical & grubby as they come - and a bare face liar to boot.

Just because she plays the wonder-eyed little girl does not mean she is pure and innocent. On the contrary.

Recall her Comrade video clip? Anything to get noticed and to get votes.

Incredible, sports attendance gets the votes while agriculture sector literally will die on the vine. It’s not political, yeah right!
