So the PM reluctantly goes to Auckland for a flying visit, after keeping Aucklanders locked down for over 3 months. While there she visits one engineering/manufacturing business that has been operating throughout the lockdown but the MD had big complaints about MIQ.
After talking to him, she went to a South Auckland vaccination centers where a few Pacific Islanders danced for her. Then she flew back on the airforce's 757, no doubt after discussing the carbon footprint with James Shaw who is up in Scotland.
Can this PM be any more gutless and useless ?

Certainly could be. Remember Wallace? Everyone who was around in the seventies will.

For a journalist that is very much an opinion piece.
Barry seems to have a big chip on his shoulder these days - maybe it's Heather's influence.
Visiting an 'anti' company would have done Jacinda good. Can't have it all beer and skittles!

Her PR team screwed up. The wheels are falling off the spin machine.
She would have gone through Ponsonby if she really wanted some ‘good’ as you put it.
Cindy is not only clueless but a cow ard to boot.

Wallace Rowling, who was rolled into Bill Rowling to make him sound less distant to Labour voters.
In a classic piece of theatre, a chap called Rob, from Tamaki, who was the PM, stepped down on to the runway, (no air bridges in those days) from the plane returning him from overseas, and was accosted by a journalist stating "Bill Rowling has said..."
With a totally mystified look on his face, Rob said "WHO'?
It was only ever bettered by the late great Andy Haden, who stepped off the plane in similar fashion, and was questioned by a sports commentator about the line out dive in Wales.
Staring down on him, in a gruff voice, Andy said "Rugby's rugby"!
How could you argue with that?

Not quite. He was known as Bill all his life until Muldoon started calling him Wallace which was his middle name - William Wallace Rowling. I remember Muldoon being interviewed on TV (by Ian Fraser or Ian Johnstone - can't remember?) who aked 'Mr. Muldoon, why do you call him Wallace'? Muldoon's priceless reply was 'Hmmmm - oh, that wasn't me - that was his mother. Brilliant.

She had 1000s to choose from. Picked one that hasn't been that badly affected by the crazy lockdown

Clueless Cindy is not going to like this :
Labour has taken a shellacking in the two new polls as the ongoing lockdown in Auckland starts to bite.
A leaked copy of Talbot Mills Research poll (formerly UMR) shows Labour has dropped by five points to 41 percent support in the last month – its lowest result since January 2020, before Covid-19 hit New Zealand.
The latest Taxpayers' Union Curia poll out today showed Labour had crashed six points to 39 percent - while National was up four points to 26 percent.
In both polls, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has also taken a hit.
In Talbot Mills, Ardern remains well ahead of anyone else as preferred prime minister on 47 percent. That is back to her pre-Covid levels of support, down from a high of 65 percent in the first lockdowns in 2020.
It is down from 51 percent in last month's poll.

No wonder she has been shying away from Auckland and visited all of 2 businesses yesterday to gauge the mood of the city!
