Lockdowns saved lives, Belladonna.
@Drowsy M. Kram New Zealand's restrictions during the pandemic saved the lives of about 20,000 people, according to new research. https://www.sunlive.co.nz/news/328561-nz-covid-19-response-saved-20-000-lives---research.html
Good to hear, thank you for clearing that up.
The Government certainly did NOT expect other Kiwis in NZ to miss out on seeing dying relatives. There was a rampant killer pandemic going on Belladonna, it wasn't business as usual. Menéndez March had to leave to look after his sick parents and didn't ...
Well said CharlieB.

Bearded Git.
Are you and Pat implying the government should have let Covid19 run rampant during a global pandemic? How many people are alive today that wouldn't be if the government had not taken the measures it did?
The reality is Covid19 was a new virus, initially, there was no vaccine for it and it kills. The measures such as lockdowns were to limit the spread and to try and protect and save as many lives as possible.
Jacinda was addressing the issue of Covid19 misinformation alwyn. The source of truth is in reference to science and not some foolish reckonings from unhinged cookers.
Agree, finally but hands are tied. "Hipkins is caretaker Prime Minister while the new Government is being formed, but his latitude to act and speak in that role is limited because he must consult with members of the incoming Government. On Friday, the ...
You don't even know if Ron Mark is telling the truth, alwyn, like Winston, he also likes to rewrite history. "it did reinforce National’s instinct to destroy rather than to build. Instead of wanting to cooperate with our desire for positive change, ...
"Ron's sounds a great deal closer to the truth" You don't know that though. You just want to believe it because it suits you. Didn't you read the links?
Rubbish, alwyn. And nowhere does Winston blame Bill English for choosing Labour. "it did reinforce National’s instinct to destroy rather than to build. Instead of wanting to cooperate with our desire for positive change, National’s strategy was designed to...
Doesn't look like any grandmother was sold. Like Winston Peters, Ron Mark likes to rewrite history too and if memory serves, National offered Winston more but wouldn't budge on policy. Coalition agreement between the New Zealand Labour Party & New Zealand ...
Covid has turned everything upside down. Auckland's anger over the last lockdown, and as the election showed, Labour seats were not safe. 2020 red wave. 2023 blue wave.
I can see why Helen White said that when other safe Labour seats went blue.
Good point.
That's what I thought too.
Thanks for the heads up.
As pointed out, going into politics is a career move.

Gaurav was proven to have bullied his staff, he was also a headache to PS. The way Amelia and Tova were speaking to Helen White, this looked like a media beat up to me. "You guys are really going for me, is there any particular reason?" https://www.newshub...
Darien.
I didn't get that impression at all.
Would say anyone who chooses a career in politics is a "career politician"
"COVID interventions" saved lives. New Zealand's restrictions during the pandemic saved the lives of about 20,000 people, according to new research. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/300983987/new-zealands-covid19-response-saved-20000-lives--research
Well, that's your opinion and I am not here to change that.
Labour has reached out to the membership.
What do you mean "now"? A review was always going to happen, it occurs after every election. I don't know where Ad got the idea from that there wouldn't be a review.
