    I heard one from Collins the other day - no one would escape quarantine under her watch bit like the eyebrows lie the other day - Judith thats like saying there will be no murders under her watch or no homelessness, what a stupid grand statement!

    Yes agree with you, & I think they agreed on points about the quarantine choke point & need to find a solution to allow categories like international students in, using private sector partnerships to increase capacity. (Not so much about allowing uber rich Americans to buy NZ land).

    Quarantine capacity is a problem with far more NZ'ers wanting too return than we expected due to our extraordinary success in eliminating Covid here (apart from those cases in quarantine). I think it's 7000 places but someone may correct me on that. Obviously returning NZ'ers have to take take priority before any other category.

    Am quite sure the Govt will be working on looking at ways to expand capacity & relax the border restrictions, allowing international students in next year, but no doubt after the disastrous SERCO experiment under National with private sector run prisons (remember cell phone footage of fight clubs etc) & the disaster for Australia evolving out of private sector run quarantines in Victoria, finding ways to safely & reliably expand capacity is far from straightforward.

    Keeping this invisible highly courageous threat out while allowing tens of thousands of people back into the country is extraordinarily difficult, extraordinary what we have achieved so far, may it last.

    It was awful to watch & I think a man would not have been treated with the same level of nastiness, certainly Todd Muller wasn't thank goodness.
    I could never have any respect for Melissa Lee after that.

    There was also the National MP who had the affair with JLR, who was treated appallingly by the media.
    Unfortunately, he ended up (just like you now, tim23) scoring an own goal!

    BTW : Melissa Lee does not exist - just a fickle of Blue Skies' imagination.

    And how despicable is it to quote the ultimate hypocrite and predator JLR to make a point?

    "We all know about the spectacular downfall of National MP Jami-Lee Ross after a kamikaze attack on his own party and leader.

    We know also about his affair, breakup and public targeting of fellow MP Sarah Dowie.

    Dowie reveals her belief that Ross deliberately used the cloak of mental breakdown, and misused her text message, to try to deflect blame and accountability from himself after his failed attack in October 2018 on leader Simon Bridges.

    You're obviously terribly confused Balance & your outrage knows no bounds.
    It's like poking a wasps nest with a stick which am sure some on here do just for amusement ( I would never do such a thing )

    JLR ethics are irrelevant to the issue we're discussing, as most would comprehend, he just publicly outed the strategy by National to go after Curran, the weakest link, like a pack of hyenas lead by list MP Melissa Lee.
    Imo it went way past the level it needed to, with no regard for Curran's deteriorating mental health & safety.
    Of course it does not excuse or distract from any other repugnant behaviour & why you would even suggest that is strange.

    BTW, Melissa Lee is a National list MP & spokesperson on broadcasting & a few other things. I think she would be a bit upset to hear anyone thinks she's a figment of someone's imagination.
