Labour / NZ First Government

And thank god for that!

Jacinda and Ashley Bloomfield have definitely encouraged people to follow the public health guidelines on social distancing and have recommended people wear masks in certain locations and in certain situations. My understanding is that these are guidelines and not mandatory, except for public transport where people must wear masks. Nothing to see here people

For businesses, social distancing has been mandatory at various levels since this whole thing started. That's the point here, she's out there restricting business sales while pulling an Ellen Degeneres selfie at a Uni.

And "Nothing to see here people?" More like "No people to see here"

Naa you do most of the voters an injustice with your comments.

My interpretation from what I have seen and heard and read is that most of the voters respond well to a strong, articulate, intelligent woman.

Lol - woman who needs to be defended and protected by others.

And remember, Hitler was very popular too. Means nothing - results are what matters in the end.

[Balance]

Most of the voters seem to like nothing being delivered in the year of delivery.

Most of the voters seem to like the "hide under your bed" approach to COVID.

Most of the voters seem to think general election voting is like backing a horse at the TAB, and it makes them feel good to vote for the "winner" until they find out they are actually the ones losing..

Well articulated.

When you have Kelvin Davis & Phil Twyford as Ranked ‘talents’ in the government, The writing is on the wall for NZ.

Yup - sheep see nothing but 4 legs good, 2 legs better.

Open your eyes :

Ardern also encouraged Kiwis to wear a mask whenever they leave the house, but warned this shouldn't be the only public health guideline they follow.

"Keep in mind, at level 2, social distancing is required. So social distancing in retail, social distancing in hospitality are all built into the rules," she said during a press conference on Sunday.

"Mask use is not a replacement for social distancing - it must be in addition to. This is something that health officials have been very clear on, so I wouldn't want anyone to think that if you've got a mask, you can then be in close proximity to strangers. We're asking for both."

NZX at record high..
House prices UP (down in aussie)
Unemployment at OECD lows

Plenty of delivery and results. we don't really want to stop and switch to something else..

House prices being UP is considered delivery and results now? The lefties were all complaining when house prices went up under the previous government so why is this now a reason to celebrate?

It would usually be considered a failure when a socialist government allows the gap between the rich and poor to widen due to the hot markets. But like I said above, the left voters won't realise this until it smacks them in the face and they discover they are actually the ones losing. But hey, let take another 550m in tax from the 1%ers, that ought to fix it.

Not a left person but Nats are too loony for me atm.

Tough on crime (expensive), asset sales, pro overseas land ownership, anti-carbon tax. So I must vote for another team.

Here we go again Balance is playing his tasteless broken record again yawn

And yes results are what matter in the end so I am really looking forward to the elections results and the moans and groans on here that will follow a resounding Labour victory

Strange, I have never seen anyone advocate for a party to be soft on crime.

Whats also strange is that you seem to be happy for the NZX and house prices to be up, and happy with low unemployment.. but then you seem to be against the likes of Microsoft setting up a data centre in Auckland. The kind of foreign investment that brings jobs and a stronger economy..

What I find the MOST strange (not aimed at yourself) is when those who are often against foreign investment, are against it until Taco Bell and Krispy Kreme roll into town and then they're in their cars lined up at midnight to get a taste.

But to each their own, and good luck as a non lefty trying to find a party thats both not National, and not as loony as National.

The data centre is happening under this government and one I support (see the power shares thread).

Each proposal should have to go through the OIO, which has been strengthened compared to the previous administration.

We shouldn't have passports for sale like happened under the last team.

It's pretty good don't you think so..

Strong economy is plasted over the Blue billboards but problem is we already have one.
