I prefer a government to look at the big picture instead of getting diverted by small minded nitpicking. But hey - that's just me.
Am looking at the big picture - of a government which talks the talk, but does not walk the talk.
Plus, a damning indictment of a government so bereft of talent that the PM has to swallow hard and not fire a hypocrite.

"This is the Health Minister breaking and undermining an extremely stringent set of rules his own government has put in place for health purposes. It fulfils every stereotype of politicians as people who are happy to write rules but not abide by them."
David Clark is GONE - Cindy will fire him as she will not want to go into an election with the David 'My Values Are Labour's Values' Clark stench.

Ardern's lessons in leadership
"Persuading many to act for the collective good
The work of another leadership scholar, the UK's Professor Keith Grint, also sheds light on Ardern’s leadership approach during this crisis.
For Grint, leadership involves persuading the collective to take responsibility for collective problems. Much of the prime minister's public commentary has been dedicated to exactly that – and it’s been overwhelmingly effective, at least so far, with a recent poll showing 80 per cent support for the government’s response to Covid-1"

Yes I read that article too and largely agree that she is a brilliant communicator. Whether the decisions were correct is where the jury is still out.

Now that Clare Curran is out of the picture, who should she replace him with? Twyford or Lees-Galloway? Both useless but probably as good as she's got.

That would be the worst move possible. A waste of space, walking disaster, minister. Maybe Nash, Faafoi or Prime.

Prime is in no way ready for a ministerial position, let alone Health.

Just remember that it isn't Jacinda alone making all this stuff up - there is a group coming up with it.
