How so? It was Mallard that originally ejected Smith.

Michael Woodhouse, Nationals health spokesman and Minister for Health if they get elected (god help us) has yet to come up with any evidence regarding the “homeless man “ freeloading among the isolating hotel guests. His claims a reliable unnamed source told him. More likely he was just trying to embarrass the Government with what has been described as an "urban myth"

Barry Soper also spoke to the source and said the story was credible.

Maybe or maybe not but we do know a huge amount of money was wasted checking the story from paperwork and hotel cctv. That part is not an urban myth.

Is Woodhouse pleased his allegation of a serious breach may well have ended up wasting resources during the epidemic?

Nope - not up to me to prove your asertions.

What resources?

Here’s the real and appalling waste of resources :

The bunch of Incompetent dumb wits who have no idea how a quarantine control system must work.

The idiots who wasted the tens of millions of dollars spent as returnees enjoyed a holiday at the 5 stars hotels - mingling, drinking, mixing and potentially passing on the virus to one another for weeks?

Then, being able to leave without being tested and with non-existent & incomplete follow up?

And putting us all at risk - potentially passing the virus onto NZers who endured considerable hardship and inconvenience during the lockdowns?

THAT is the real waste of resources.

The PPE stockpiles were depleted and left to expire by the last government (& maybe others idk). No one can really prepare for a once in 100 year event but they have done well so credit where it's due.

The facts of NO community transmission speaks for itself and maybe australia will become the next epicentre due to their relaxed approach (isolation there is even worse and they still want people to isolate "in their homes"). we will be ok now we have a robust contact tracing system.

NZ is the best place and there is nowhere safer on earth. I know the prospect of NZ succeeding upsets some unbalanced people but tough imo.
