    Gutless & Clueless Cindy - allowing Maori groups to hold the whole of NZ to hostage.

    People are suffering and there are many who are going to have health complications and die in the years ahead due to delayed, cancelled and missed treatment.

    Close to 1,000 surgeries have been cancelled a week due to the lockdown :

    Close to a thousand planned surgeries are being cancelled every week in New Zealand with nearly a quarter of those being at Middlemore Hospital, data shows.

    The figures, received by National Party' health spokesman Shane Reti from all district health boards, showed that between August 15 and September 26, a total of 84,991 planned operations had been deferred.

    Of those, 25,316 were from South Auckland's Counties Manukau DHB.

    And meanwhile all you need to get them to show up is $100 prezzy card and KFC lunch. You'd have 90% in fortnight.

    What happens when a government plays the race card and pander to the most basic lowest denominator of NZ society.

    But don't worry. James Shaw and several thousand of Ministers and bureaucrats are flying to Scotland to save the World, many of them coming straight from Iceland where they attended the Artic Council https://arctic-council.org/events/ar...rcle-assembly/ , including in approximately 30-40 private jets.

Articles like this will do wonders for our suicide rates I should imagine, particularly among the young: to never-ending COVID anxiety you can add utter despair at the older generations having pulled up the ladder on affordable housing, plus constant messaging that humans are destructive and awful killers of other species & the planet in general.
    Even if you repeat this selfish nonsense endlessly - it does make it neither right nor sensible and certainly not decent.

    Any single Kiwi has the same power and responsibility to improve the lot of our planet than any single Chinese, Brazilian, European or US American.

    The only way to repair the planet is if we all do our lot instead of all of us pointing to the others and require them to do something.

    Given that we produce per head of population more rubbish than most other nations (yes, I know, the Canadians, the Bulgarians, the US Americans and a handful others are still more wasteful ), given that we consume (per capita) more fossile fuel than most other countries and given that we are comparably quite well off (top ten percent of rich countries per capita) - why not go ahead instead of waiting for the poor nations to go ahead and give a good example?

    Must have played the race card around the world?
    Cause and effect?
    In Washington State some places are offering a free toke with a jab.
    Free beer in some.
    Race - maybe not, some people are just hard to reach (and selfish).
    There will be some who will hold out in case an even better deal comes along.

    In NZ, it's obvious that Clueless Cindy is pandering to the Maoris for votes - not for the greater good of Maori & definitely not for the good of NZ as a country.

    Whenever anyone says 'it's obvious' or 'obviously' you know they are telling a story rather than dealing in facts.
    You are great with the spin.

    Coming from an indoctrinated devotee of mistress of spin Cindy, I will treat that as a compliment.
