An epidemic / pandemic plan was in place when the current government took office. We will probably have to wait for a commission of enquiry to find out how adequate it was, how often it was reviewed, changes made if any especially after the measles epidemic.
The plan should have been initiated in January when Wuhan went into lockdown - probably was - but on the basis of mixed messages (being charitable) since then actions and policies were not well thought through.

Empty vessels make the loudest noise. You seek destruction , divisiveness and hate. You aim to undermine the NZ govt with ridicule, name calling, constant hate messages about our Govt especially the PM who you compare with Trump. In our time of GREATEST NEED and support you seek to sow discontent What has your country done to you to seek constant revenge, or are you simply a political party acolyte doing their bidding uncover. Ive no idea what motivates you but i know its not for our countries good when we need it.

No plan articulated YET

Poll: Kiwis trust Govt on Covid-19
"And while support for governments was generally increasing around the world New Zealand led the pack compared to the G7 - the US, UK, Canada, Japan, Italy, and Germany, who were polled by Colmar Brunton's parent company.Across those nations 59 per cent of people trusted their governments to make the right calls on Covid-19, compared to 88 per cent in New Zealand."

Did they ask any of the right or pertinent questions & who was asked ?
Where was their sample & how was it balanced ?
If it was anything like the 'well balanced sample of Business Owners earlier' then most of us will probably
already know the answers..

"PM wants answers on Ship"
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/a...ectid=12323218
Could this be the start of trying to play the Blame Game for something
which NZ Health Authorities failed us on, in even letting the Ship offload
passengers, while they should have known or made extensive enquiries on the
outstanding test results for illness & C-19 that were still pending at the time
on the passenger ship?
All will be aware that from the time that they sent out a special flight
to pick up passengers from the C-19 inflected passenger ship up in Asia
to go into special quarantine up Auckland, the threat was very real and serious
and both Govt & Authorities would have had to be blind to not recognise.
Subsequent reaction by Govt was clearly too little too late & not effective
to address the threat in time with effective measures and all similar
travel movements (including those encouraged by Peters from C-19 infected
countries should have been stamped on hard & quarantined at that time forwards)
Govt have allowed the situation with Covid-19 to progress to the current stage
by not acting soon enough and not recognising the seriousness of the threat early enough.
What was happening in Australia, Europe, Iran & China should have rang loud warnings
on exactly what was needed and how fast it was needed to lock the virus out with
stringent compulsary quarantining and locking down international travel movements
Does the PM really have the time to fluff around chasing the legalities of matters now
when the wheels & sides are starting to fall off many SME's (People's employers and the
source of employment & Livelihood) which have seen little or no meaningful assistance
to actually help the businesses through the Govt inflicted shut down of all but
essential industries & services ?
The Public & NZ expect far better responses of any Government and a Labor Govt in this case
in times of what look to play out as extensive Business carnage which will not see recovery
fast, if many or most businesses actually survive the duration at all
Robertson should now start considering what fraction of the tax base & what ongoing huge support
extending well into the future will be upon us well into the future, if he does not act now to try to help
with meaningful lifelines (not excuses for these as seen to date) those businesses savaged by this
Government's incompetent management & floundering around, when it should be putting in place
meaningful support for all affected including SME's and not just Employees of those.
If he doesn't look to support significant sectors funding the tax base, then the ill thought-out'Worst Nightmare"
that the Govt have orchestrated stands to get infinitely worse spiralling out beyond even Robertson's wildest dreams
