Labour / NZ First Government

You are always going to get rogue & incompetent elements in any party.

And you are right, it’s a question of how it is dealt with.

You would agree that David Clark should have never been allowed to stay as long in his job as he did.

We await.

A MP going for a bike ride or going to the beach during lockdown is minor compared to an MP breaching privacy by leaking Covid-19 patients details to the media.

Not a MP. The man in charge - no less than the Minister of Health!

Yes indeed - I believe and the facts still support my view that Australia did a better job with the initial lockdown than NZ (measured rather than the total 'scorched earth' lockdown like in NZ).

Where Victoria has gone wrong is well documented : It's the unfathomable failure of their post lockdown quarantine system. Nothing to do with the initial lockdown.

“ ..... the start of this second wave has been linked to a failure in hotel quarantine practices, with travellers returning from overseas allowed to flout the rules, go home early and leave for food breaks.

Security guards have also been accused of socialising with people in hotel quarantine, and some of having sex with people in isolation.

Those issues are now the subject of an inquiry.“

Your theory is straight out of the Mike Hosking playbook he couldn't have put it better himself.

To the Tory supporters on this post Clarks offence is probably worse!

I doubt many British conservatives are paying attention to this thread.

Nothing wrong with Mike Hoskings - he has more influence and impact with his little toe with the public than you in your whole entire life so far. 🤣

Future generations of NZers are going to pay big time for the economic incompetency of Comrade Cindy’s government but hi, who cares when the majority of the current generation has been scared witless about COVID-19?

Hosking may have some influence but more than likely they don't vote.

As for Dunne,like Seymour, he is only there by hanging on to the National Party coat tails and can be ignored.

Is that Peter Dunne you are talking about ? He is not anywhere by hanging onto NP coat tails. He is retired from politics. I find his opinion pieces interesting ro read with his extensive knowledge of how Government politics work.
As you know, he served a lot of time in Labour administrations, even as a Labour MP, so your comment is a bit odd.

Quiz: Can you tell Todd Muller’s plan from Jacinda Ardern’s plan? Good luck - I scored four out of ten.
The question is, can you guess which one is from which party, or is it just, as Winston Peters likes to say, a choice between Coke and Pepsi?
