The treatment of Dr Bloomfield seems to me.

The point is we are in trouble when ministers don't take responsibility for their portfolios. If they can delegate responsibility to Bloomfield surely he can delegate responsibility down the line as well.

This is going to hurt Labour in the election - David Clark is completely spineless & gutless.

So much for ‘Be Kind’ 😡

"While we don't want to over-egg the souffle, we have to make the assumption these people have reseeded the infection in the community. We have to act accordingly to quickly re-achieve the elimination."

Gorman said in order to stay safe, people needed to retain hygiene habits - including washing hands and, if they felt unwell, staying at home and getting tested in more serious cases. "I think we can rely on the military to get the border right. They don't have the same lack of discipline you have among many health officials."

It seems that the esteemed Professor is an expert in Occupational Health rather than Epidemioligy.
So, as I suggested, just a person with an opinion.

Transformative?

Comrade Cindy & her incompetents have NOT delivered on one single ‘transformative’ election promise.

Truth is, they cannot even deliver a letter to a PO Box.

Labour's under the carpet sweepers are out in full force. Tamati Coffey doesn't want to know and throws the hot potato to Megan Woods...who doesn't want to know.

These idiots have spent tens of billions keeping us locked down and haven't the competency to follow through and make sure that it's not money down the drain.

Why is it only the opposition local MP that is outraged? Why isn't Coffey up in arms on behalf of his constituents? Is he scared of being pushed even further down the list to make way for the likes of Twyford?

Holy Cow...even leftie commentator Chris Trotter has torn Cindy's government a new one.

Watch the interview in the link below. He canvasses the widely acknowledged view of Ardern being a brilliant communicator and not much else. Scathing of her Cabinet. Trotter would be one of the most respected leftist commentators in the country.

Oh wow!

The most scathing criticism of this Labour government ever - and from Chris Trotter as you wrote!

" People are so grumpy & angry about this.

The only reason we got through this is because WE ALL DID OUR JOB.

And now when it comes to be what seems to be the simple end, where it is simply to keep people locked in hotel rooms - they CAN'T DO IT. "

And there are those who want to entrust this government of incompetents to steer NZ out of the worse recession since the great depression! Scary & frightening thought!

50 released slightly early out of 20k+ who have successfully completed their isolation period. Sadly the govt seems to have listened to Simon Bridges and National MPs call to let some out on compassionate leave early for funderals. Which shouldn't have happened of course.

Argue with Chris Trotter....a labourite since before Aunty Helen cut her political teeth. The most scathing criticism I have ever seen from a leftist commentator on a government of their own leaning.

Why should I care if it's not based on facts?

Though clark should go as its bad optics now to keep him there. That is assuming a transition can be done seamlessly, if it can't then he should stay.

We shouldn't chop and change people during an active "health" crisis unless they have done something seriously wrong which doesn't seem to be the case as the procedures were correct but not followed by an employee.
