    Well, that escalated quickly. They seem to be in a trading halt now.

    Well the Roar is coming up very soon and Winston Peters did suggest hunting was a good solo activity. So possibly those hunters that were going to buy a gun in the next 4 weeks realising that they better get one now or they won't be able to.

    I'm not sure I would have included The Warehouse an "essential" service but then nor is my local corner shop or bottle shop (the last thing people and the police need is alcohol!) It seems like government will have to be more prescriptive here.

    How can plastic Chinese crap that only ends up in landfills be seen as essential? Here's hoping the Warehouse stays closed forever....we don't need their junk on our shores. It was essential to my mental health to get that off my chest. Amen.

    the Government had not decided that The Warehouse, which said today it would stay open during the lockdown, was an essential service.
    He cautioned businesses from claiming they were an essential service prematurely.

    This is extremely naughty for an nzx 50 company to claim they are an essential service and therefore will remain open.
    My thinking is they will not be allowed to stay open and, at best, be online only.

    Totally agree .eg Plastic chairs at a typical NZ BBQ last one summer at the most as many are too small to accommodate many of "our people". Plenty of wood grown here to make BBQ chairs that will last many summers. Bring back tarriffs and to hell with free trade. The world has changed and not before time.
