Damn - looks like another $500K slide is needed

Where was Trevor with his sprinklers when we needed him.....

Ihumatao.

Why didn’t the police acted as they just have at parliament grounds?

Answer is very obvious.

It’s not about the law - it’s all about the votes.

The public road is still blocked now - you cant drive that way anymore and have to do a detour. But hey, we just all accept that not all protests are the same

Looking forward to see the news coverage of the shocked PM looking over ‘our’ desecrated parliament grounds….. followed by a press conference where the playground once stood saying how bad it has been etc etc. true leadership.

Government been lucky the last few weeks that all this has distracted a lot of attention away from how bad the response to omicron has been.

A shambles - that's the only word appropriate to describe the response to Omicron. This government seems hell bent on repeating and magnifying the mistakes of other countries rather than learn from them :

1. The slow response as the government went on holiday while omicron was spreading.

2. Then, the confusing traffic light system which nobody in government seemed to able to explain simply.

3. The RATs debacle - banned until it was too late and the government lying about commandeering the supplies ordered by the private sector.

4. And the latest - insufficient capacity to process PCR tests.

Freaking heck - Clueless Cindy would protest that she only had 2 years to prepare for omicron!

It was also notable that there was no politician there at the 1pm media conference with Bloomfield, who was effusive in his apology, but not his usual ebullient self.

This Government – and in particular Jacinda Ardern – is happy to take curtain calls and credit for the Ministry of Health’s good work – of which there has been plenty. But when there is a stuff-up the prime minister is very often absent, leaving a junior minister or just officials. Either way, when things go wrong it suddenly seems to be the ministry’s fault. Bloomfield, she said, had “acknowledged what’s gone wrong”.

In response to questions on her way to Question Time on Monday over whether the Government was going to ask the ministry harder questions in future, Ardern demurred, falling back to the tried but true trope that New Zealand had got through the pandemic to date with flying colours.

When pushed she responded that the job now was to “fix those errors and make sure they don't happen again in the future.”

Fawlty Towers - more revelations on the shambles which is Clueless Cindy's Covid response :

What exactly was he paying for, he wondered, remembering the comedy of errors during the trial which a fellow businessman described as "like Fawlty Towers". It was worth a good laugh, Taylor reckoned, but not $821.44.

"I will pay the bill once I know what I'm paying for, given that I'm still waiting for the results of the three saliva tests."

Here is something to get upset at. Public Servant(s) should have lost their job over this.

Petrol creeping closer to $2 a litre in Australia as oil price surges

Oil prices have hit an eight-year high and economists are predicting that the average price of petrol at the pump in Australia will soon reach $1.87 a litre.

The gross retail margin is around 13 cents a litre. So the pump price is headed for 187 cents per litre.

How much do we pay in NZ ?

Not going to happen - Cindy & her pathetic ministers will argue it is yet another unintended consequence of their government using bribes to get votes.

Notice how quiet and out of sight Gayford has been?

Cindy's cancel strategy to hide her embarrassments & unsavory incidents - this time, appears to be applied to no less that Gayford?

It was of course a huge setback for Cindy's MSM & PR generated false persona of kindness, transparency & accountability when Gayford intervened & revealed the MIQ preferential system for their mates (D J Dimension) :
