Labour / NZ First Government

[Balance]

And here we are - back to lockdown L3 & L2, with no idea how widespread are the new virus infections.

Billions of dollars spent & economy hammered but :

1. Where is the Effective contact tracing App?

2. Where was the effective testing regime for all those likely to be infected (Air crew, ship crew, quarantine facilities workers, those in contact with returnees) and spread the virus to the wider community?

Would have cost bugger all to implement the simple two measures 1 & 2 but what we have is a CYA government and MOH who have learnt f... all about preventive Covid 19 measures.

The quarantine debacle all over again. Nothing learnt & proactively done until something blows up.

102 days without community spread - so plenty of time to put in contingency plans for businesses.

So where are the plans?

What have the government and MOH been doing?

Kiwibuild all over again - all talk and no real plan or action.

You’re right. Businesses have had months to make contingency plans for the eventual return of COVID and what have they been doing? The government has set up a whole quarantine and managed isolation system and publicised their tracing app and alert levels.

Do you expect government to do all the heavy lifting here? Have businesses done anything? Has the Chamber of Commerce just been sitting on its hands?

Do you expect government to do all the heavy lifting here?

Absolutely yes.

Because this government is fighting this election principally on its Covid-19 response. Definitely not on its record to deliver on the huge promises it made in 2017.

And as we can now see, it failed in the quarantine response putting the whole of the lockdown effort at risk.

And now, it has failed to stop community spread when some basic steps (refer #5541) could have prevented this debacle.

BUt it's hardly surprising you have such low expectations of this government, mikeybycrikey - you know they are incapable of delivering anything outside of style over substance.

Judith Collins is casting doubt on when Ardern knew we had a problem. Winnie apparently has said he knew yesterday morning...Ardern reckons she didn't know until 4pm.

On top of that, in the days prior there was suddenly an upsurge in messaging about face masks, an inevitable re-emergence of Covid. Brownlee highlighted this even before the bubble burst. Something stinks.

Jacinda stinks. That simple. She needs to go.

Ardern says there is no place for politicking. What the hell is she standing there for? All the announcements made could have been handled by Bloomfield. Labour have politicked on Covid endlessly. The bullshi**er in chief at her cynical best.

She alluded more than once about their ability to govern approaching an election. Convention has always been that no major things are done without consultation once the campaign has started. Labour launched their campaign last weekend. The cynical bullshi**ery continues.

How do you know Ardern is bullshi**ing? When you can see her teeth!

That is not what the majority of New Zealanders think about our leader who is much admired both in New Zealand and globally.

Latest Roy Morgan poll shows PM Jacinda Ardern maintains ‘crushing’ lead over new National leader Judith Collins.
The majority (71.5%) of New Zealand electors (down 0.5% since June) said New Zealand was ‘heading in the right direction’ compared to only 19% (up 0.5%) that said New Zealand was ‘heading in the wrong direction’.
