@vlcnz Tell that to the people that were loading the dead bodies into freezer containers in the street because the undertakers had run out of room, tell that to the doctors and nurses and families of people who died

delusional

@PronouncedHare Its actually called informed consent you know where the health professional is just doing their job to ensure the patient is aware of all the risks involved in resuscitatio

When my grandmother was 99 she had a pacemaker fitted. They flew her to Wellington for the operation. Before they went the guy asked her if she wanted to be resuscitated. She said yes. The guy then asked her again, explaining that it can cause quite painful injuries. She was a completely capable woman of full mental capacity and said yes she understood and please resuscitate her if she needed it. He then asked her a third time, telling her that her quality of life might be different. At that point, my grandmother turned to my father and asked “What does he want me to say?” and Dad then intervened telling the now very defensive guy to knock it off. That kind of low level pressure happens in the health system every day.

@PronouncedHare it was a fast moving fluid situation I see you are bowing down to hindsight politics I wonder what the hindsight politics of this governments oil response will be that is if there ever is a valid response especially as our so called Pm is swanning around being anywhere but here

Something that also sits really badly in all the Covid retrospectives are the following sentiments, often expressed by the same people but not perfectly harmonious: Sentiment one: the science is clear, do what we say. Sentiment two: it was a new situation and nothing was very clear and we were just doing our best with imperfect information.

It’s very clear that Willis is being groomed to take over as leader of the opposition in November 2026

Peters and Seymour keeping well away from Willis et.al so that they can call for an oil shock inquiry and both write their own terms of reference excluding them both.

@chrisluxonmp Megan woods please stand up

It’s been a long road rebuilding Christchurch since the earthquakes and the new stadium is one of the final pieces. Stoked to be here for the opening of One New Zealand Stadium. As a proud Crusaders supporter, this is a big day for Canterbury. Proud to be here with Mayor Phil Mauger to officially open it too – a huge moment for the city, and one that will add around $50 million to the local economy every year.

@Eastandbays Drive baby Drive

Australia is running out of fuel in some locations. The Philippines has declared a national emergency because they have 44 days fuel remaining. New Zealand has fewer days fuel remaining than the Philippines but our government doesn't appear at all concerned.

@Tiare_MP Once again has she been PM before, interesting though the two deputy dawgs we’re not there neither was the so called PM

My congratulations to Nicola Willis for once again becoming the next Prime Minister of New Zealand

@SerenaTNZ We are not allowed antibiotics for a urine infection either not really sure why ??

20 Qs before the pharmacist would sell me thrush meds.I’m taking antibiotics. Apparently such over the counter meds are to be discouraged for sale to women over 60 ! What are we ,garbage? I am furious. Fkn 3rd world.

Six years ago today a team of 5 million took a punt on a young Prime Minister and agreed to follow common sense public health measures. The goal to delay the onslaught of an unknown virus that we saw ravaging other global neighbourshoods and families. #NZHellHole #ThankYouJacinda

@JoelMacManus Kia Ora Todd sorry I don’t know the words for small minded in Maori however I do know them in English and the English version is that you are small minded

dude, there's a war going on and the country is in a fuel crisis

@AnnChapmannz Real history will show how the media criticized the Labour’s response every step of the way and now they are also letting Winston peters off the hook for his involvement at the time

As a very old asthmatic I survived the Covid months thanks to Jacinda and Chris Hipkins. And do did most of you journos and trolls on here.

There is nothing about consumption in this plan. Don’t you think now would be the best time to seriously think about our use of petrol diesel oil etc. not just tell people all is well when really it’s not. What’s the plan Stan for our children’s future not this short term crap.

@GayMaxine This is a so called right wing Christian government and Penk apparently has been blessed by god himself if you read the herald I hope one day he doesn’t have to face an unholy decision like this in his family circle

@susawilson @bobmccoskrienz Why is my mind as you say closed and yours is not you don’t even know me as to whether my mind is closed or not however my instincts tell me you are big minded whether that’s good or not you be the judge but obviously in your world you are right and no one else has an opinion

@eva92254 @bobmccoskrienz I’ve not mentioned ‘kill off all the oldies’ - you did Im not reflecting with hindsight! I knew by July “20 the biggest risk group were 80+yr olds, not healthy young people Like I said, your mind is closed Gillian. It’s ok. But you might want to look at why?

“They [the media] treat the people they hate and disagree with totally differently than the people they have support for, and it’s an ugly disgusting business.” Christine Rankin opens up about the way she was aggressively hounded by the media when she was a senior public servant. Quite a contrast to the support the media have given Chris Hipkins recently.

@Dussyme 2

If the answer ain't 12, then what is the correct one? 0.00001% can answer this🤔

@PooSatans13444 @terrymckain1 This war and oil shock ain’t over till it’s over so I wouldn’t be too cocky as to what will have to be done before that

@terrymckain1 So you’ve clearly forgotten bout the crisis labour left us that we now have to pay back at a higher interest rate and the fact that labour shut marsden point with an added fuel crisis If debtkins was in we’d be in massive trouble And probably another lockdown

Sorry National that you are unable to read basic graphs. The Labour government was returning us to surplus. National on the other hand has massively increased debt, due to tax cuts to the rich graphshttps://open.substack.com/pub/nickrockel/p/help-yourself?r=uaje8&utm_medium=ios

@terrymckain1 Willis told us before the election that she was not borrowing for tax cuts her policy was written in bird on an A4 piece of paper, i wonder what size piece of paper her oil shock announcement will be written on

@susawilson @bobmccoskrienz Kill off all the oldies ?? many health professionals died,many of young people died and many young disabled died Boris Johnson nearly died and he wasn’t 82 . Hindsight politics is a wonderful thing when funnily everyone has the right answer 5 years after the event

@eva92254 @bobmccoskrienz If you’re calling me right wing, you’re very much mistaken! Pertinent facts. Stick to them. The world knew by July 2020 that the mean age of COVID deaths was 82yrs old Recently it was confirmed NZ ministers were briefed in 2021 it was not necessary to mandate 12-18yr olds

TV 3 was called the Mark Mitchell hour at 6 pm he garbled his way through important information when it should have been left to the experts couldn’t understand a word he said
