    There but for the vigilance of NZers, the whistle blowers, Woodhouse and the grace of whichever religion you may or not follow, NZ would have gone the same way as Victoria due to the first 2 months of disgracefully incompetent & uncontrolled quarantine shambles & mess in NZ.

    https://www.news.com.au/national/vic...54350f4388397a

    Excerpt : "Victoria’s descent into a new wave of infections started amid a scandal over quarantine and security breaches in a series of Melbourne hotels.
    Last month, Melbourne’s quarantine hotels were identified as a key source behind the virus’s terrifying escalation throughout the state."

    Rest homes proactively taking steps to protect their residents rebuked by Ministry of Health.

    This is NZ today under Comrade Cindy’s bunch of incompetents - Nanny state knows best so just you listen and obey the incompetents.

    We know the rest homes were right and Comrade Cindy & her incompetents with the MOH could not even run a quarantine system properly without endangering all NZers through their gross incompetence.

    What a silly statement.
    We didn't go the way of Vic because we did it better.
    QLD did it better, as did WA and others.
    I understand how you like to think Woodhouse saved the day but that just isn't true and you repeating it ad nauseam doesn't make it true.

    Agree and think it is quite sad that we are not seeing any real policy debates so far and Labour seems hellbent on avoiding it, which makes sense for them politically. Not so much for NZ. Have to say though that Minister Sepuloni and National's Louise Upston debating social welfare policy on weekend TV was refreshing and showed clear differences. But as you say, I don't think people are tuned in at the moment.

    If the quarantine mess here was not highlighted (well documented which is why David Clark was 'fired') & fixed - we would unquestionably be having the communal spread out there now.

    Why do you think NZers were so cheesed off with the government?

    A government without any major policies to announce for this election - because those without myopic glasses know that Comrade Cindy cannot point out any major policy successes from the huge promises made last election to hoodwink voters.

    Well, NZers are going to find out the devastating way that their future generations are going to pay big time for the current generation of society’s losers being led towards the cliff and towards doom.

    Those of us in the know will do very well from the free spending underway - just make sure you maximise whatever you can make for your own future generations.

    Hardly cheesed off - check the latest opinion polls government is quite popular or did you conveniently forget that?

    We are talking quarantine.

    Why do you think Comrade Cindy sacrificed David Clark to appease the anger out there?

    Again, history shows us popular does not necessarily = good for the country.

    Hitler was extremely popular and where did it led to?
