Employ less people then.. plenty of other jobs available (record low unemployment).

Pass the Parcel needs more people not fewer, if their delivery times are anything to go by in my experience.

Arden admits today Omicron not much worse than the flue. When questioned on the possibility of reducing mandates her response was, not yet. Meanwhile those who are mandated out of their jobs due to no jab are experiencing real financial strain. The mortgage still must be paid.
Is this more about not wanting to relinquish power ?
So kind.

Omicron has to peak first you know that. How much has business been given $5- $6 billion so far? , How many on here have taken it huh? And more to come to help them. If people have decided not to get the vaccine, well they knew the consequences, so selfish and not thinking of their country unless compromised health wise. I say it again , you have to pick your battles.Cut off your nose to spite your face? (Go on the dole then go to Wellington to protest?)Then take responsibility for it. Dont blame others or blame your govt, dont justify taking over a carpark for the disabled. Blame china where covid came from? Blame,blame blame..

Any financial strain is their choice.

She has admitted Omicron is no worse than the flue.

You need to be really careful when your quoting what other people have said, especially when taking a snippet out of context.

What she actually said was omicron was 'more mild & moderate for most people.'

But she went on to state that still leaves tens of thousands of people whose health may be compromised & may be hospitalised overwhelming the health system.

The other key point she made was, "Covid is in a pandemic state, so the issue is the cumulative impact of people getting it all at once".

Imagine if we lost a significant number of our police force all at once due to illness, or half the nurses or surgeons in a hospital.
Imagine your in a car accident & there's no ambulance available or theres no doctors available in the ER because they're all off sick at the same time.

Can someone tell me how you catch the flue - who is throwing it and they must be reasonably strong and where did it come from, it may be needed come winter - don't want all that smoke inside your lounge do you

The decision to not get the vaccine was before omicron was around. And Delta is still here now. They knew they had to get the vaccine to remain employed but chose not to. So they have no reason to complain. Make your own bed etc.

It is not that hard. Why could you not work it out.

She didn't say that and you asserting it doesn't make it true.
