We're one of over 191 countries even though the media doesn't like to provide international context.
Taiwan beats us an that's pretty much it.
A load of rubbish. The Government has NO plan other than locking down the country. That’s not a plan.

We're not China where state planning is a thing. which other country has "a plan" other than wait for a vaccine, which we are doing exceptionally well at thus far.

I agree we are “Doing exceptionally well” at waiting for a vaccine. But that could be a long wait and closing the borders and parts of the country on and off is not a plan. The number of active cases is not the sole measure of success. I suggest to you that all the Scandinavian countries (yes including Sweden) and several others in Europe as well as Taiwan are doing just as well as NZ with containing COVID and better with limiting economic damage. But only time will tell

Hasn't been a bad plan so far - your lot would have us riddled with the disease by now.

The plan is - okay to allow Wallabies in but not much needed seasonal workers. Same quarantine structure but there’s no votes in the business sector.

Reading through the various comments on social media, I've noticed similar responses to others in the same position. This is not a sign of a healthy democracy.
Cindy is a politician and as cynical & grubby as they come - and a bare face liar to boot.
Just because she plays the wonder-eyed little girl does not mean she is pure and innocent. On the contrary.
Recall her Comrade video clip? Anything to get noticed and to get votes.

Incredible, sports attendance gets the votes while agriculture sector literally will die on the vine. It’s not political, yeah right!
