    Coalition government tearing itself apart.

    Hell of a coalition partner Comrade Cindy has got herself and her team of incompetents into bed with!

    About the the decision to grant Manus Island resident Iranian Behrouz Boochani refugee status.

    The Australians will be livid.

    I hope they do not retaliate by ending visa free entry into Australia for Kiwis.

    Exactly what the Australians warned NZ not to do.

    Good one, Comrade Cindy - burnishing her CV (great humanitarian, she is) for the UN job she has her eyes in.

    She could not give a stuff about what the decision means for NZers in Oz and going to Oz.

    Technically, going by the Merriam-Webster dictionary’s definition, woke means “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”, but today we are more likely to see it being used as a stick with which to beat people who aspire to such values, often wielded by those who don’t recognise how un-woke they are, or are proud of the fact.

    It seems to me that Joshuatree was judging the government’s behaviour, by saying “constant improvements and tweaks mean that we are the envy of the world.” You are judging the person, love them or hate them because of who they are – female leader, Labour Party = the wrong party, and wanting to find fault with them to confirm your bias.

Managed isolation is uncharted territory so lets celebrate our success compared to most other countries.

    We have been lucky - that’s the long and short of it with the quarantine shambles.

    That luck may not last if NZ continues to chance our quarantine measures.

    Times change, the meaning behind words can also change.

    Gay used to be a descriptive word for someone who’s jovial, happy and generally uplifting. These days, gay means homosexual.

    Likewise, woke now has a different meaning from what it used to mean.

    Election 2020: New Zealand First Coalition agreement - progress report
    New Zealand First has achieved or partially achieved about 80 per cent of the commitments in the agreement which sealed the deal on the Coalition Government in 2017.
    Almost 70 promises were made in the Coalition agreement between NZ First and Labour. This is how they've done on the NZ First commitments
