An infectious DELTA carrier has likely spread this plague to the Hawkes Bay. Lucky for the populace of the Hawkes Bay the person was 'a permitted traveller' with 'an exemption to travel' - phew, that was a close one! Lucky they weren't the average law-abiding mask-wearing locked-down NZ citizen: there could have been a disaster!

Knowing who the Labour Party favours for 'permitted travel' I guess we can assume the person is a gang member, or a sex worker, or tangata whenua. The rest of us just need to lock the doors and hunker down while being told 'we got this', 'team of 5 million' etc etc.

Covid-19 Delta outbreak: Traveller to Hawke's Bay tests positive on return to Waikato, was 'infectious' while travelling
21 Oct, 2021 12:49 PM

A traveller to Hawke's Bay from Waikato who has tested positive for Covid was potentially infectious in the Hawke's Bay community.

One of Thursday's Covid-19 cases in Waikato was a permitted traveller with an exemption to travel to Napier last Friday, October 15, and returned a positive test once they returned to Waikato.

Why should we care anymore? double vaccine rates are at 60%+

According to Dr Blofeld this is a disease of the unvaccinated, so it begs the question: was the 'permitted traveller' vaccinated(?)

Wow - 15 of the hunts are heading to this conference. One was too many, but fifteen....what a farce. Shaw and his pack of muppets are heading half way round the world - about 14 or 15 of them could have attended by Zoom call. I guess that's was so many people had the Green Socialists - they are absolute hypocrites.

Minister James Shaw will soon head to the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference — and he's annoyed about "some of the stick" he's been getting for taking a team of 15 with him.

Of course, the UK has said that there won't be Zoom and people must attend in person - so attending via Zoom would prove problematic.

This comment is in no way support or otherwise - just pointing out a fact.

Yay - free trade deal. Tariffs to fully come off sheep and beef meat 15 years from now. Well done everyone.

9digits, big fan of your general stance and commentary on this forum (and I hate Jacinda - yep, genuinely hate), but this is a reasonable outcome (despite the time period on sheep/beef).

I'm probably a victim of low expectations, but at least it has some potential to help carry the future load of the current lot's economic mismanagement.

Clueless Cindy would approve, given her hijab wearing show of support for the oppression of Muslim women?

Excerpt : ‘This is the moment a woman was violently arrested in Iran using what appears to be a dog-catching pole for failing to wear a headscarf.’

I think we all get that you don't like Jacinda, however this post is plain silly (as too many of yours ...).

Do you really not realise that Christian women, Jewish women and many Buddhist and Hindu women as well as Muslim women used to wear head scarfs for many centuries - and this had nothing to do with suppression. It is in countries with plenty of sun a good protection against sunlight, but yes - it is in many cultures as well used as symbol of modesty ... and it turned into being part of the culture.

If you open your eyes you might even discover that Christian nuns are still today covering their hair, as well as many elderly women in Christian based Mediterranean countries (e.g. in Southern Italy). They all wear it by choice.

It is pretty obvious for anybody with an open mind that our PM did wear the headscarf as sign of respect for a different culture instead of condoning the acts of a criminal authoritarian government.

You are consistently demonstrating blind hate and disrespect for other human beings. While there is no need to agree with the political goals or the implementation skills of our PM (I don't either) - I don't think she deserves your consistent and absolutely silly attacks.

And in fact - it is revolting posts like yours and from some other hard righters who are just driving people into the political left. Hardly any decent person would want to support a political camp which harbours so much hate, silliness and lack of respect.

Maybe you should start asking yourself what's wrong with yourself - and for a start - grow up!
