I think he will get a knighthood regardless 😆

New Zealand tackled Covid by going in early and hard, shutting the virus out until vaccines arrived and ending up with one of the lowest death rates anywhere #NZPol

Yep

Less and less all the time

I once went to Turkey so 🤷

I think it's thrashing a dead horse but having said that he won't stand down because John Key thinks changing leader means lost election for Nats so will keep telling him to stay

Anyone who says our Covid response was bad as opposed to one of a handful of the best responses in the world, doesn't understand the Covid Royal Commission's report and votes RW which is also caused by not understanding things #NZPol

That's how they get votes

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 economy "were not heeded".

Our COVID-19 response started five years & 51 weeks ago, and yet this is only this election year's second-to-last cynical kangaroo court inquiry established by the current govt to gainsay the prior govt's calls that, at the time, they mostly supported www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

A kitten, very much alive, in a box.

Schrödinger’s cat update

The entire National Party are a bunch of lickspittle sycophants #NZPol

I have considered asking the vet for a knock out pill but I doubt she would let me lol

I mean, IMHO opium does make you confused and deranged so yes?

lol I didn't even know Takanini had an MP

Pushing something as amazing when you just found out less than 28% of the country like him

😆

delulu is the new gen z way of saying delusional which just happens to be perfect don't you think?

Reading through the 4 enumerated items in particular, it is super clear that robust public research capability is needed to address them all. At the same time, this government is further destroying that very capability and the pathways for training up the next generations.

If I laugh out loud in an empty room, will you hear me

The National Party? More like The Delulu Party! #NZPol

What one is she?

Time to pass a law that any party spokesperson of media outlet that opines with hindsight reckons on pandemic management has to show this chart in the background at all times #nzpol

His biggest mistake was thinking speaking bizlish would make us think he was smart when he just made us think he's a total cunt

I'm sure in this case it's just complete CEO brain where the word 'optionality' somehow sounds like a normal replacement for 'choice' 🤣

I don't even give a fuck about the likes of Seymour and his copium lie reckons, we (collective "we") were right all along, we saved lives - thousands of lives, and very few countries can say that

Excellent TLDR of part 2 of NZ's Covid-19 Inquiry by @marcdaalder.bsky.social
1. Vaccine safety & approvals process successful
2. Some mandates lasted too long or went too far
3. The need for a changed testing strategy could have been foreseen
4. Lockdown decisions were ‘reasonable & evidence-based’

Lockdown, vaccine decisions 'considered and appropriate' – Royal Commission The Covid-19 Royal Commission has broadly backed the decisions taken during the pandemic, while identifying areas for improvement.

The Covid-19 Royal Commission's second report has been published, I've read (almost) all of it and here are the key takeaways:

I guess Reti can go back to what he enjoys doing: undermining the health system via private investment and being weird about abortion #nzpol

Saying that out loud is outrageous, it's got to be his senile mind forgetting actual boundaries
