And, I suspect, not accurate.
He says
"Observe the body language of the Prime Minister and it's obvious to me at least the pressure she's under. She was fidgeting with her face mask to such an extent in Parliament's debating chamber yesterday that the audio had static."
Not sure when he was looking but in Q&A she had her mask off from start to finish.

"Faafoi, who doesn't have a legal bone in his body, is making changes to property law, "
Does he need to be a lawyer? The 120 MPs make law but few are (or were) lawyers.
That's why they have a Ministry!

Barry should stick to reporting the news rather than trying to make it.

It was in Question Time yesterday. It was very obvious

Of course, that has nothing to do with the inference that we are being kept in the dark over covid deaths - LNF did say "of this dreadful disease".

As for dying of other diseases (or issues) due to delayed treatment etc - the 'excess death rate' gives a good indication.
A lagging indicator but not is the "we will never know" category.

Look if no-one has died in NZ of Delta with this outbreak having raged now for weeks, is it fair to say that there is a 0% death rate for the Delta virus in NZ?

It's 0%, isn't it? Has anyone got any information to the contrary?

Can't see it in Q2 or Q6 on the 28th (the Q's to the PM) or any of the others for that matter (she left at the start of Q7).
Apart from the Speaker, everyone takes off their mask

Depends on how you want to extrapolate the information but given we have not had a death since Delta came in then the death rate is 0%.
Does that mean something to you?

One woman died.

One woman died.

With or of? Both are referred to in the article.

Last year a US man was diagnosed with covid post mortem. Died in a car accident, but was still reported as a covid death. Got some LOLZ in the media at the time.

One woman died.

A woman in her 90s has died of Covid-19 (really?) in North Shore Hospital. The woman had a number of underlying health conditions, according to the Ministry of Health.

Sisters are doing it for themselves!

Why does Clarke need to come wading in? He's soneone's husband an a fishing show personality. Surely Cindy has 'got this', does she need her man running in on her behalf? Is it the 1950's?

Covid-19: Clarke Gayford criticises Sir John Key's 'name slinging' and use of 'disinformation'
15:56, Sep 29 2021

Clarke Gayford has accused former prime minister Sir John Key of “name slinging” and using of “disinformation” to criticise the Government’s Covid-19 response.

Gayford weighed in on the conversation around Key’s comments on Wednesday. In a seven-part Twitter thread, the prime minister’s fiance called out Key for “name slinging” and using “disinformation”.

“It was such a shame that the name slinging [and] use of disinformation divided his contribution into partisan politics.”

It didn't suit your story so you discount it?
You started this with

How many have died in NZ of this dreadful disease since the current Delta outbreak began??

Release the death toll, the people have a right to know!!

The answer is 1 - released, you did know.

Everyone else gets a turn - why not him? (He only used twitter - media made it into something.)
His opinion is as valid as many.
No it isn't 1950.
