F*****g rightwing.Saying one thing when it suits them, and then something completely different later,gambling on the public getting on with their lives and forgetting.

And then having the temerity to complain that the Ardern-Robertson govt "over-spent"!

That money was spent on businesses!

"There must also be a renewed focus on support for the narrowing range of sectors who remain severely restricted at Alert Level 3.Sectors such as tourism,hospitality,some retail, and event centres will now bear the brunt of the cost for..."

I present Peoples Exhibit 1:

"National Party leader Simon Bridges has proposed giving businesses cash grants and low-interest loans at a cost to the Government of $8 billion.

He said more needed to be done to help small firms survive the next few months." - Simon Bridges,National Party Leader

"Options were available to end restrictions earlier,options were available to not have as stimulus an economic response,and ultimately New Zealanders are paying the price of that still today." - Simeon Brown

And yet,TWO RIGHTWING PARTY LEADERS AT THE TIME WERE DEMANDING MORE ECONOMIC STIMULUS.

Yeah, that too.

All I can say is that I owe my life and several of my clients, to her staunch actions.

God help us if that fool, Luxon, and his cronies Seymour and Peters, had been in charge.

AD Walter Skinner ( Mitch Pileggi )... one of my favourite characters from THE X FILES. Much under-rated and under-utilised character.

Yup. In fact I recall one of the criticisms being made at the time was that there were TOO MANY announcements and public briefings.

The *ONLY* bit I might add is that the MoH should have a special website devoted to dispelling the disinformation campaign we were facing at the time.That would be it.

From Marc Daalder, one of Aotearoa's best-informed, most-reliable journos. I can't speak highly enough of him.

Brilliant! Thanks - reading it now!

It seems the Committee got some things right...

...was the committee; anti-vaxxers; anti-lockdowners;... in fact, anyone who didn't want to act for the collective good.

Harsh?

Yeah.

But here's the thing;if those people don't care about me and others, WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT THEM?

Trade-offs my spotty arse.

"They should also have identified the trade-offs to be considered if such scenarios arose."

Ohhh, ✌️trade offs✌️...

So,how many lives lost per dollar? *THAT* kind of trade-off?!

So,maybe 20,000 businesses allowed to stay open for 20,000 lives lost?

Sure. As long as every one of those corpses...(1)

Do you have a link we can share? (I have tonnes of respect for Marc, his reasoning and research is exemplary.)

Wow.

Indeed.

Sweden had a "let rip" policy. No masking requirements; no lockdowns; none of the preventative measures Ardern/Robertson implemented.

Their death toll was around 9 times ours. Their population is only twice ours.

Inflation was 4% two years ago, PM. And we now have record 10 year unemployment & business failures, while ~3% of our working age citizens have fled

We shouldn't have to fact check our own governments like the US does, do we? #auspol #newzealand #nzpol

Covid-19 response inquiry finds government's response effective but late, poorly communicated "We got a lot right. More than most," the former PM and Grant Robertson say, while Simeon Brown says warnings about the eceonomy "were not heeded".

"The second phase of the Covid-19 response inquiry has found the government's response was effective but late and not communicated well enough to people."

Rubbish. We all remember the daily pressers,announcements,updates.

This is a cr@p finding. Political BS.

"Your papers please, citizen!"

A phrase no American ever thought they'd hear in the good ole US of A.

Send ICE to Iran as boots-on-ground. Let's see those petty thugs stand up against well-armed, well-trained, well-motivated Revolutionary Guards.

My bet will be on Iranians kicking the sh*t out of those bloated ICE agents,running crying back to their mummies...

Pretty much, yeah.

If anyone wants to copy & paste this on X/Twitter/PedoGrok, Facebook,etc, go for it. (Attributed or not,I dont care, as long as the truth comes out.)
