    The Clueless Cindy its attempting to deflect from her government's failures by blaming others - getting desperate.

    Just as she did with the KFC worker who challenged her version of events.

    Never learn - poor Cindy.

    Otara vaccination centre - fully staffed & operating at lower than 50% capacity - because it is so important (according to the Maori MPs) to look after the welfare of Maoris and Pacific Islanders' who have been crying out for preferential access.

    Well, they have it and they are not using it - sounds familiar, doesn't it?

    1ZB sent a reporter there today and she was told she could have a jab even though she is not in any of the priority group!

    2. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/hea...rplus-vaccines

    Over-supply of the vaccines to one location while there's shortages elsewhere.
    Just as well you have no input into the vaccination roll out - your links lead nowhere.

    The government has screwed up on their delivery and monitoring of vaccinations, they've admitted this albeit in political speak. Better that they clamp down on the failings and fix them, while the apologists might reflect on why they defend inadequacies which are blindingly obvious.

    Sometimes it is better to just admit that the ball has been dropped and steps are being made to rectify those failings, rather than defending the incompetence. We are all subjects of the crown and expect high standards protecting us. When it is clear that those standards are compromised, surely we all should rally in our expectations to meet them?

    It's not political, per se. It's about what's best for all of us. The current state is inadequate. We should be concerned collectively about what is being done to rectify this.

    Welcome to Cindy’s solution to housing shortage - $1 billion every 3 months in accommodation support - while rental increases go up through the roof.

    Smart girl - helping landlords to make more money using taxpayers’ funds!

    Good post.

    As with most governments, they have forgotten that they are there to serve, not just maintain power by any means. This sadly, applies to governments of all hues.

    Never more than Clueless Cindy's government.

    The days of promises of transparency & accountability are over - now it's naked attempts at cover-ups and spinning failures into successes.

    Bishop says these committe things a bit of a rort .....the ‘defendants’ can talk for most of the time (outlying what they done) and time left for questioning is squat or

    Taxpayers Union tweeted this yesterday

    This is not a joke. Something very odd just happened to our analyst.

    He received a response to an OIA request about Cabinet Papers presented by various ministers. He opened the attachment, and it wasn't what he was expecting:
