"Covid-19 live: Parliament protest 'not representative of the vast bulk of New Zealanders', PM says"

Nah Cindy, they're just the ones in Wellington - wait until you get to Auckland.

She's right though. The vast majority have simply seen the sense in getting vaccinated - so have just done so.

The socialistic funny-money giveaway continues.....taxpayers and future generations now on the hook for any failed festivals and events.

The Government has announced a new large events support scheme to financially de-risk large summer events from the effects of Covid-19.

The new scheme, called the Events Transition Support Scheme will see the Government underwrite upfront costs of events that can’t be recovered in the event of cancellation. The scheme will go live this week.

It's an underwrite - not a direct payment.
Insurance basically.
Very pragmatic really.

Nope, she's wrong. Sure there's some anti-vaxxers in there, but when it comes to lockdowns the protestors represent a whole heap more (and in fact represent those that have been vaccinated - which is the majority).

Gang conventions included dobby, they will be a festival if Dave Dobby makes an appearance.

Gotta keep the rich and famous in the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed, very socialist eh?

Any thing to divert the populace from the "dire straits" they are in..

The best insurance is remove punitive restrictions and lockdowns, get vaccination passports working and allow individuals and companies to apply anti-vaxx restrictions without the risk of litigation.

Some people just go too far really.
I haven't read the fine print but if the gang convention had more than 5000 participants I suppose so.
It still isn't a payment until it has to be cancelled under specific conditions, then only for unrecoverable costs.

Are you talking about '3 Waters' by any chance?

Aren't they protesting about being blocked from some venues and activities without proof of vaccination?

That is what I thought too.

I have immune compromised friends and family. I won’t be going to venues that do not require vaccination proof. Even though I am double jabbed. I do not want to take the risk of passing it on.
