Megan Woods just threw 37 million dollars into a hole. Worldwide they have been ‘working on ‘so called vaccines around Sars type Coronaviruses for decades, the money Big Pharma have been allocated around this  is mindboggling and for what? You have to remember a Moratorium around working with these ‘viruses’ was introduced to protect people from the risk associated with experimenting with these types of pathogens, and it seems more than just coincidence that the Horse shoe bat coronavirus found by Ralph Baric in 2015 ends up creating all of this carnage... if you watched the Bill Gates video above you would also question why Woods would hand out $37 million in such a challenging time for NZ...A Human hair is 75,000 nanos in diameter, ‘coronavirus’ 120 which is 99 % water, and has NEVER been isolated or purified. These things are Ghosts, the Carnage this lockdown will cause far exceeds the Human toll from this event,i hope the damage this lockdown has caused gets similar main stream media attention, but dont hold your breath.... If you wear a mask all you are doing is displaying your lack of knowledge, not to mention the fact your body expels CO2 for a reason, restrict the exhaust on your car and see what happens   :rcf-thinking:

Adam Creighton writes for The Australian.  Something our MSM journalists should be writing instead of following the mantra of Cindy's kindies.    

 

Flightless Kiwi economy to land with a thud

 

 

                                  No national leader has been as feted as Jacinda Ardern during this pandemic. But while she might have popular support, the facts are she is pushing the NZ economy off a cliff.

By ADAM CREIGHTON

 

No national leader has been as feted as Jacinda Ardern during this pandemic. Young and progressive, New Zealand’s Prime Minister was popular before the crisis. Since she imposed the favoured pandemic solution of the left — a hard lockdown, shutting practically all business and no socialising with anyone outside your home — her star has only risen.

“Laughing in the face of seismic shakes, she has calmly steered her country in the face of a massacre, an eruption and a pandemic,” The Guardian cooed on Tuesday. Steering it into an economic abyss, perhaps.

New Zealand’s economy is in strife. Without major change, our constitutional cousin is in decline. Its public finances are in tatters, its biggest export, tourism, has been obliterated — Air New Zealand announced 4000 job losses this week — and New Zealand police now can enter people’s homes without a warrant.

“New Zealand is going backwards, falling behind the vast ­majority of our OECD partners in virtually every social and economic measure that matters,” said Roger Douglas, a former New Zealand Labour treasurer and the famed architect of Rogernomics.

New Zealand ranks fourth last in the OECD for labour productivity growth, and last for multi-factor productivity growth, according to economist Michael Reddell, based on OECD data. Health and education are gobbling up more of the budget as the population ages, with less and less to show for it.

The country’s Massey University reckons economic activity will tank 16 per cent in the second quarter, while government forecasts pencil in a 4.6 per cent decline this year ahead of an 8.2 per cent rebound in 2022.

“I doubt the economy will bounce back as the government hopes; and the Treasury forecasts, as bad as they are, will prove optimistic,” former NZ Treasury secretary Graham Scott said.

In one year, New Zealand has blown 30 years of hard-fought ­fiscal rectitude. Its public debt will explode from the equivalent of 19 per cent of gross domestic product last year to 54 per cent by 2022, on the government’s own figures.

Scott said expanding the deficit, expected to blow out to 10 per cent this year, was the right thing to do. “But looking further out, comparisons with other countries, such as the US and UK, are no basis to justify our large debt ratios; we’re a small, open economy with vulnerable export industries,” he said, noting the share of exports in GDP had been falling steadily for nine years.

That makes Labour’s ban on oil and gas exploration all the more bizarre. With 0.3 per cent of global GDP, New Zealand can only shoot itself in the foot by shunning fossil fuels. The Prime Minister and Finance Minister, who have not worked in the private sector, spruik the totems of modern left governments — renewable energy, trees, higher tax, equality — but without much to show for it. Plans for a billion trees and 100,000 houses have come close to almost naught, and a capital-gains tax was dumped. Labour made a song and dance about reducing child poverty too, but on six out of nine measures tracked by Statistics New Zealand it is unchanged or worse since 2017, including the share of children living in “material hardship”, which has risen to 13.4 per cent.

It’s hard to see how shifting to a four-day working week, the Prime Minister’s latest reform idea, will fix the country’s problems.

“The real problem with the Ardern government is they have no idea whatsoever apart from how to throw money at things,” Douglas told The Australian. The targeted “investment” approach to welfare pioneered when previous prime minister Bill English was treasurer has been junked in favour of open slather. “Our $12bn wage subsidy, for instance; about a third was a ­donation to people who don’t need it,” he said, explaining how well-off lawyers and accountants had obtained the payments.

New Zealand’s international investment position was negative $171bn at the end of last year, more than half its GDP. “To keep international investors’ trust, we must remain squeaky clean in our fundamental economic institutions,” New Zealand Initiative chief executive Oliver Hartwich said. “Even Mexico, Nigeria and Venezuela are not as indebted to the rest of the world as New Zealand.”

The nation’s draconian response to the coronavirus was questionable, given it is an island with a massive moat and a small population spread over an area the size of Italy. Despite those obvious advantages, the stringency of its lockdown was higher than practically any other country, according to Oxford University’s Blavatnik School of Government. Deaths per million were the same as Australia’s — just four.

In any case, it wasn’t outsized compassion that drove the lockdown sledgehammer but the ­brutal reality of an underfunded health system. With about 140 intensive care unit beds and few ventilators — far fewer than Australia per capita — it was woefully underprepared. Ardern is more popular than ever, and by all accounts is a good person and a great communicator. But if a COVID-19 vaccine remains elusive, New Zealanders may come to question her wisdom as they fall further down the global pecking order. Without economic growth, there won’t be money for more ICU beds.

If we want to fete other countries for their response to the virus, how about Japan? It didn’t smash the civil liberties of its people for weeks yet it managed to keep deaths very low. Eschewing big-government solutions, Shinzo Abe would have had to “transition” to get the left’s attention.

Please stop saying you "researched it."

You didn't research anything and its highly probable that you dont even know how to do so.

Did you compile a literature review and write abstracts on each article? Or better yet, did you collect a random sample of sources and perform independent probability statistics on the reported results? No?

Did you at least take each article, one by one and look into the source ( that would be the author, publisher and funder), then critique the writing for logical fallacies, cognitive distortions and plain inaccuracies.

Did you ask yourself why this source might publish these particular results? Did you follow the trail of references and apply the same source of scrutiny to them?

No? Then you didnt fucking research anything. You read or watched a video, most likely with little to no objectivity. You came across something in your algorithm manipulated feed, something that jived with your implicit biases and served your confirmation bias, and subconsciously applied your emotional filters and called it proof.

The question is not whether Winston Peters is correct, because he indisputably is. The question is, what is he going to do about it?

His revelation on Newstalk ZB yesterday now tells us this Government is not the one holding us back from moving to level 1, getting doors open to a point where actual trading can be done, livings can be made - and jobs can be saved, if not created.

No, it is not the Government - it's the Labour Party. But one part of the Government.

In the revelation is the exposure of what many had suspected: a socialist type power grab designed to shore up votes driven by fear, topped up with extraordinary amounts of money we don't have - and all delivered with the ever so slightly condescending butter wouldn't melt in my mouth style favoured by the Prime Minister, who is clearly loving her days in the debt-laden economically catastrophic sun.

We are close to an election, he's in trouble poll-wise, and he looks at this point to be yet another victim of the MMP curse. Which is that no small party who ever properly went into government via a formal coalition has ever survived to tell the tale. So it suits his agenda to drive a headline or two.

However in this case, as much as it may suit him, he's also on the right side of history - and the economic future and wellbeing of this country is at stake.

So what does he do? How long is it before his observations turn to musing about expecting Labour to review the level 1 date, to actually bringing it forward?

How long before this back and forth gets played out daily between duelling coalition partners? How long before New Zealand First start to ponder their future in Government?

The advantage they have is that every small business in the land would agree with them.

The National Party, you will note, with a new leader and the New Zealand First door ajar, is behind them. Most regular, everyday, ordinary New Zealanders who can see this catastrophe unfolding for themselves, even if they would never contemplate voting for New Zealand First, at least can go along with the sentiment.

Every day Winston Peters makes sense, pitches the cause of the majority, isolates out Labour as obsessive on health and economically dangerous, he gets headlines, a potential
growth in support, and distance from Labour. And hopefully he does us all a massive economic service by actually getting the country open the way it should be.

As we keep saying, if a week is a long time in politics, more than 16 is an age.

Watch this space.

Have you noticed how Winston has said he is open for discussions with Muller after the elections on coalition.      Surely no one believes this garbage.     Winston will NOT, NEVER, go back to working with National - this is just a statement to try and hold those national voters who last time didn't want Labour/Greens yet when the crunch came they found out their vote had gone with NZF to help Labour.      Of course he is clutching at straws as he needs lots of votes to get back and quite frankly many will not vote for NZF this election as long as it could return him to the hive.     But of course as we have so often seen, the voter is a fickle beast, with a short memory, and when it comes to putting a tick on a piece of paper what they think they themselves are going to get is the prime factor not the overall picture for the country.

Well if you don't have a certain skin colour you probably should resist opening the boarders , it seems some are now entitled to better treatment than others .

Quote .

Māori and Pacifica waiting for elective surgery have been placed at the top of wait lists in the Wellington region.

Speaking at a Capital and Coast District Health Board meeting today, medical officer John Tait said the Ministry of Health bands people accepted for specialist treatment in a priority ranking.

People are given a score on their level of need and ability to benefit from treatment compared to other people.

“We’ve moved Māori and Pacifica to the top of the band,” he told the meeting.

This is a huge deal.

At present your eligibility for surgery is based on a score that takes into account your individual circumstances. How severe your condition is, how effective surgery might be, your age etc.

CCDHB has said that instead of relying on the actual clinical need, they will prioritise Maori and Pacifika which of course means European patients get demoted – even if they have a greater clinical need. They get punished for their skin colour basically.

Hey BBB  why is the 30 yr old Significant, You do realise that was one very sick individual ? Nothing has to change for people who are elderly or immunocompromised, be as cautious as you need to be but we live in a World surrounded by death and disease, this is insanity and this Obsession with Vaccines is the root of these decisions.... they have spent countless man hours and absorbed insane amounts of money trying to cure a close relative the common cold, not to mention Sars (2003) and Mers (2009) in which the vaccine created killed the animals it was tested on ...for what?  And they were testing a vaccine in March from a Novel virus they only discovered 3 months earlier  :rcfe-happy-3::rcfe-happy-3:  people are actually believing this  :rcf-thinking:but hang on WHO have already planned out the mass vaccination program with the backing of  Bill Gates and the World Bank ...If you want to talk conspiracy ,if you were going to create a bioweapon before you release it surely you would have an antidote, but im not going down that path

Jacinda’s COVID Crisis: Part One

A Political Fraud

By JC

What is now becoming apparent is what many of us have believed all along: that compared to most other countries we have not experienced a COVID crisis. The extent to which we have had something of a problem can be laid squarely at the door of the Prime Minister. It was she who caused the crisis by deciding to not go hard and early. This Government has repeated the hard and early line so often that it has turned lying into an art form. The truth is that had we gone hard and early a lockdown might well have been avoided.

It was obvious from very early on that the two priorities were closing the borders and concentrating on the care of the elderly. Neither happened hard and early, and the often repeated lie has to a large extent been the reason for both the number of cases and deaths. Hard and early did not happen because the Prime Minister was desperate to don her Muslim attire for the benefit of the world media.

 

There was another equally important personal reason for acting in the manner she did. Right from the outset she would have realised the potential this situation created to implement her deeply held desire to turn this country into a Marxist state. A country where there is equality among all comrades. A country where the Government takes control of your everyday life. A country where everyone from big business down to granny in the rest home is dependent on the Government for their very existence.

This is Ardern’s idea of a bright future for our country. An ideologically driven, fundamentally absurd political manifesto that if implemented would bring back memories of Mugabe’s Zimbabwe or a modern-day Venezuela. Zimbabwe. Whoa! Let’s stop and think for a minute. White farmers were illegally removed from their farms with violence. Fast forward to Northland last week where Matt King was threatened with violence at an illegal roadblock. Police can now enter homes without a warrant. Extreme similarities maybe, but similarities nevertheless.

These are all actions of dictators, people whose sole aim in life is to exercise control and impose their ideology on others. They don’t care what damage they cause along the way, economic or otherwise. They don’t even understand economic matters. It is well documented that one had problems wrapping fish and chips. If people are reduced to rummaging in rubbish bins for food it doesn’t matter, if a first world country becomes a third world country it doesn’t matter, the implementation of the socialist agenda is the only thing that matters.

Don’t be fooled, this is exactly what has been going on during this manufactured COVID crisis. Ardern has cooked this up to suit her plan and Bloomfield (Sir?) has been complicit in it. People have been mentally screwed to the point where they are too scared to leave the house, to go to work or to go to a restaurant. This is a ridiculous and totally unnecessary state of affairs. Level four and three were never needed. We should not now be in level two. Winston is shrewd enough to state this publicly. Votes?

The scare tactics continue. In the Herald, Ardern and Bloomfield are wary of going into level one early (that’s a joke) and are warning of the “long tail” of COVID-19 and the possibility of a second wave as larger gatherings are allowed. This is all arrant nonsense and straight out of the dictator’s playbook. Keep piling on the fear and you can keep exercising the control. This is despicable behaviour.

Had we had democratic leadership, and not someone with personal agendas, the borders would have been closed promptly, emphasis placed on the elderly particularly those in rest homes, and immediate testing implemented. That is called going hard and early. Those in the younger age groups, who only got the virus mildly if at all should have been allowed to continue working.

We have seen an economy destroyed for no good reason other than to suit the Prime Minister’s deliberate attempt to use a health event to try and achieve her own dangerous personal objectives.

This country has been the victim of the most disgraceful political fraud in living memory.

Jacinda’s COVID Crisis: Part Two

By JC

In my previous article, I outlined how the Prime Minister got us into the COVID crisis by largely manufacturing it. Having successfully got us into it she now has to get us successfully out of it. Like wrapping the fish and chips this will be beyond her capabilities. In fact, her aim will be to keep the country in as big a mess financially as she possibly can to keep control. Like creating the mess in the first place this will not be hard.

On Friday, we were told by the incumbent but incompetent financial whizz kid Robertson that with only one live case remaining the Government is prepared to be flexible on moving to level one. By flexible, he means that there will be an initial review on June 8 and a final review on June 22. If that’s being flexible then I’m a Dutch uncle. It’s akin to the persistent lie that they went hard and early.

 

There is no plan on how to get us out of their self created chaos. The wage subsidy is necessary but apart from that money is being sprayed around like confetti at a wedding. The spending is poorly targeted and poorly thought out.  Jacinda though is making sure that the people she is responsible for in her portfolio are being well recompensed. There is a complete lack of business experience on the Government benches and boy is it showing.

Compare that to Todd Muller’s well thought out initial plan announced on Friday to help small businesses. Money spent but well-targeted to boost jobs and the economy. Robertson’s weak response to the plan was that his was better because it started immediately. In truth, he has no answer because he lacks the nous to know the real needs of small businesses.

After spending days focussing on the silly cap and colour nonsense the media woke up to what the real issue is and the economy finally became the lead item. TV1 on Thursday reported jobs had fallen by 37,500 in April. Some of the hardest hit sectors were in agriculture, forestry and fishing which were down 8,488 jobs, accomodation and food serviced down 6,251 jobs and manufacturing down 3,797 jobs. Primary industries lost 4,480 jobs while in the goods producing industries jobs fell by 4,153. The service industries lost the equivalent of 29,317 jobs.

The Government response so far has been solely about retaining jobs with seemingly no idea on creating any for those who have ended up on welfare. Mind you, they like people on welfare, don’t they? It equates to Government dependency i.e. control. Our welfare payments due to COVID amount to 20% of GDP whereas in Australia, the UK, Singapore, USA and Canada, it is 10% or less. This in itself speaks volumes as to the strategy being put in place. The only realistic way of getting out of the mess this crop of clueless clowns has got us into is a change of Government come September.

Look at their record to date. It’s basically a failure on all major fronts. Houses not built, trees not planted, very few necessary infrastructure projects started and no light rail (thankfully). Just a lumbering old diesel choo choo on a non-electrified line pretending to be a commuter train from Hamilton to Papakura where you board a proper one. The entire journey takes two and a half hours one way. What a joke! When it comes to any sort of acumen, business or otherwise,  this bunch of hapless humanity would have trouble finding a sheep in a paddock.

The figures quoted above on One News are but the first furlong in a 3,500-metre long steeplechase. The race starter, in terms of the race to the bottom economically, has barely dropped the flag. Currently, the nags hold the reins but we need the thoroughbreds, those who through astute economic stewardship got us through the GFC and the earthquakes.

Forget the Jacinda fan clubs in gossip land. They can be dismissed as birds of a feather material.  Between now and September this lady will be increasingly skating on thin ice. As Bob Jones so rightly pointed out, Churchill stood on the balcony with the royal family and massed crowds praising him as their saviour. Shortly afterwards he was voted out.

I can’t remember a more important election than the upcoming one. As Max headlined in his article on Thursday – This election is up to National to lose. Very true. Every vote must be cast with the express purpose of ensuring a change of government.

Media Deliberately Blurring Opinion and Fact

What Better Way to Confuse the Public About Ardern's Government Performance than Media Bias?

By Suze

Who hasn’t resisted the urge to throw something at the television during the news? Half-truths and omissions that support Jacinda the Wonderful and lies to demonstrate Orange Man Bad will do that to you.

Viewers with less than a cursory interest in politics are so acclimatised to media opinion being presented as fact that they assume everything they hear is factual. Media are content to look the other way, ignoring their professional responsibility to provide the public with factual news simply because they do not like the facts. The errors and omissions by NZ media are a separate topic.

Bad Man Orange emanated from American media, and this week Trump took Twitter to task for its dishonest attempt at placing a foot in two opposing camps. Twitter has a solid footing in the opinion camp, but the problem arose when Twitter censored Trump’s posts, thereby acting as a publisher.

Trump was justifiably annoyed when his tweeted opinions were censored under the guise of “fact checking. An opinion does not require censoring. An opinion is open to discussion and can be agreed or disagreed with.

Twitter can’t have it both ways, so Trump introduced legislation to remove some of the protections Twitter and Facebook previously enjoyed as social media opinion platforms. Trump opened them up to the same legal challenges afforded publishers.

“US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at removing some of the legal protections given to social media platforms.

He said the firms had “unchecked power” to censure and edit the views of users.

President Trump has regularly accused platforms such as Twitter and Facebook of stifling conservative voices.

The order, which is expected to face legal challenges, comes after Twitter decided to append fact-check labels to two of his tweets this week.”

Trump accused the media of censoring right-wing opinion. We have the same problem here. Our Ardern-adoring media constantly bypass a raft of Ardern government failures in favour of international and local media opinion saying she is doing a great job. Opinion and fact about then Ardern government’s performance have been deliberately blurred by media to confuse the viewer.

If the public really understood the extent of the Ardern government incompetence it is highly likely that they would not be re-elected. But if this government is left unchecked they could go down as the most destructive in our history.  

The following facts about failed promises and poor performance is nothing short of tragic from a government which promised openness and transparency.

Aged Care

  • David Clark, the Minister of Health, made a commitment prior to the election in a speech he gave in Christchurch that the first Budget of a Labour-led Government would see the appointment of an Aged Care Commissioner.

Child Poverty

  • Promised to end child poverty which worsened with 11,000 more children in material hardship and 15,000 more children living in welfare dependent homes.
  • Seven out of nine child poverty indicators increased.

COVID-19

  • Did not go “hard or early”
  • Failed to close the borders in March as advised. Instead implemented sustained lockdown causing economic hardship which could have been avoided if the borders had been closed earlier
  • Estimated deaths from hospital postponed cancer checks and surgeries under lockdown will exceed the 22 deaths from Covid-19 which all were aged people with pre-existing conditions
  • Inflated daily COVID-19 infection numbers by including “probable cases”
  • Inflated the death count by including 96-year-old Eileen Hunter’s death whose death certificate did not state COVID because she had recovered
  • Did not re-evaluate our lockdown after it was revealed 80,000 anticipated deaths was a grossly inflated figure based on faulty overseas modelling by the Royal Institute
  • Refused 24 out of 24 requests to visit dying relatives during lockdown after telling NZ to “be kind” during the lockdown.

Economy

  • GDP dropped under the CoL. December 2019 GDP figures showed New Zealand went into a ‘GDP per person recession’ in the first half of the year, and continue to show an economy that is failing to deliver higher living standards for New Zealanders. The government is relying entirely on population growth to drive the economy.
  • Government debt skyrocketed during COVID-19 when the government sprayed around borrowed money. A newspaper reported that we are entering the “sharpest, deepest economic slump ever.”
  • New Zealand ranks fourth last in the OECD for labour productivity growth, and last for multi-factor productivity growth, according to economist Michael Reddell, based on OECD data. Health and education are gobbling up more of the budget as the population ages, with less and less to show for it
  • Bob Jones saysIn one year, New Zealand has blown 30 years of hard-fought ­fiscal rectitude.
  • Job growth more than halved from 10,000 new jobs a month under National to 4,000 a month under Labour
  • Banning oil & gas exploration caused a $30 billion loss to Taranaki and increased the price of imported fuel
  • State Services Minister Chris Hipkins promised in mid-2018 this Government would “reduce the reliance on expensive consultants and contractors, saving taxpayers many millions of dollars a year”. At that time, the total spend across all 30-plus public sectors was just over $550m for 300 plus working groups
  • Business confidence was at a ten year low before COVID-19 lockdown.
  • More industrial strikes in Labour’s first year than in the last ten years.

Education

  • Shut down Charter Schools
  • Failed to deliver 100 per cent qualified ECE teachers
  • Teacher strikes
  • Failed to reduce teacher/child ratios in early learning.

Environment

  • Failed to successfully implement its promise to plant a billion trees
  • Plastic bag ban left customers in the lurch during COVID-19 when supermarkets banned re-useable shopping bags
  • The waste from single use PPE gear has astronomically increased with tonnes of additional daily landfill and no message from the government about managing additional PPE waste from dentists, doctors, hospitals and medical centres.

Health

  • Promised to address youth suicide by providing free counselling for under 25s
  • Failed to implement a surgical mesh register
  • Failed to increase breast screening to age 74
  • Auckland Hospital is investigating four maternal deaths since March 23 under lockdown (A newspaper report)
  • DHB cost blowouts
  • Insurer warns of high risk of suicide by failed business owners.

Housing

  • Labour’s flagship housing policy, KiwiBuild, flopped
  • Cost of rental housing increased an average of $50 a week after passage of legislation that made rental properties uneconomic so landlords sold rental properties
  • State housing waiting lists increased from 6,000 to a record high of 14,500 in less than two years under Labour.

Inequality

  • Promised to address inequality, but Maori are still over-represented in poor socio-economic outcomes and account for more than 50% of the prison population, despite being only 14% of the general population.

Infrastructure

  • Cancelled “all roads of national significance” but two years later reversed that terrible decision
  • 2018 census disaster under the CoL’s watch.

Legislation

  • Promised no new taxes but implemented seven including a petrol tax
  • Promised a capital gains tax but thankfully failed to implement it
  • Failed to strengthen the OIA as promised
  • Botched legislation on gun law reform
  • Passed legislation removing freedom and giving police and authorised person(s) the right to enter private homes without a warrant.

Ministerial Competence

  • New government failed to count heads and were forced to concede more opposition members on select committees to have Mallard elected speaker unopposed
  • Phil Twyford and Megan Woods both demoted during the KiwiBuild debacle
  • Ian Lees-Galloway granted residency to convicted criminal Karel Sroubek in 2018
  • Meka Whaitiri stood down for shouting and manhandling a staff member and fired from the cabinet a month later
  • Claire Curran stripped of ministerial duties and subsequently resigned after using her computer for ministerial duties and failing to disclose meetings with Carol Hirschfeld
  • Justice Minister Andrew Little was only prevented from repealing the three strikes law by Winston Peters
  • National complained that undisciplined CoL ministers missed or were late for select committee meetings and forced the issue by walking out of an important select committee meeting on the health system and funding new cancer drugs. This sent dozens of submitters back home when a quorum was not formed within the allowable time frame, wasting time and money.
  • The Minister of Health broke his own rules three times during Covid-19 lockdown.

National Security

  • NZ is the only member of Five Eyes not taking China to task over Hong Kong security law.

Police

  • Promise of 1800 new police in three years was declared unattainable
  • Police botched the implementation of clunky new gun control laws and intimidated legitimate gun owner Dieuwe De Boer and his family
  • Guns handed in to police with very casual gun custody measures were stolen by criminals.

Ardern received global acclaim for her hug-a-Muslim-athon after Christchurch, raised New Zealand’s international profile (albeit for flimsy reasons), and provided financial assistance to employees during COVID-19. A pretty shabby offset to the long list of government fails. The ledger is heavily balanced against Ardern’s government but you won’t hear this from mainstream media.

It is the next step after releasing the bio weapon  Covid which has failed and the narrative is now falling apart.

Meanwhile Cindy's mates is trying the same trick here. These people are sick.

countless cafes restaurants small businesses have been sent to the gutter over the last few months...

to operate they have spent and sacrificed $1000s of dollars  just to somehow trade while abiding by the government rules 

people have been forced to miss funerals miss seeing their loved ones pass all for the rules....

today the rules mean nothing why???

No Rules for Rent a Mob

By JC

Monday’s protest marches run by rent a mob have achieved nothing other than to make the Prime Minister look like a complete fool. The first politician to point this out was none other than David Seymour, this country’s number one Opposition MP. He correctly pointed out that the demonstrations in Auckland are an “insult” to every New Zealander who had followed alert level two restrictions, which include a 100 person limit on public gatherings.

Predictably, a spokesman for Jacinda Ardern declined to comment on the demonstrations. Mustn’t do or say anything to upset your fan base. You could tell it was her fan base just by looking at the pictures. All of them, if asked, would have said what a great job she has done and how her (silly) restrictions have helped. But then, with the combined intelligence of a bed bug, they all completely ignored them. I’m sure they felt that the cause justified disobeying the rules.

 

So where were Ardern’s compliant Police Force, the boys and girls in blue who have been throwing families of maybe half a dozen off the beaches? Where were they making sure no more than one hundred were in a group? Where were they ensuring social distancing during the protest? If they were in attendance they did sod all.

Monday’s demonstrations have served only to highlight the monumental farce this COVID-19 lockdown has been from the start. It’s been all about control but when control was most needed it was nowhere to be seen. It’s easy to pick on a family relaxing on a beach and to tell them to move along but when it comes to a rent a mob it appears doing nothing is the better part of valour.

This whole thing has been a sick joke (if you’ll pardon the pun). The demonstrations have made Ardern, Bloomfield and the other participants in the charade look like complete idiots. The Prime Minister should have been on the six o’clock news announcing the immediate cancellation of all levels and rules. At the very least we all now know that her control freak rules can be ignored, particularly those about social distancing. Restaurants and public transport should all immediately return to pre Covid operations.

Anything else is unacceptable. Rent a mob have burst the PM’s control bubble well and truly and now there is no putting the poo back in the donkey.

These Intellectually challenged protesting ‘Migrant rights’ not Black lives matter forget where they live, they are given State housing and benefits while locals are living on the streets yet flout laws that have destroyed our economy and risking peoples lives . Send them to US to become police in Minnesota, then the reality of the job may give them some perspective
