- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
Some of the comments:
Haywood J. Blomi Says: For a country of 0.06% of the world pop and a gdp of only 0.16% why are we putting in 1.3% of this 'plucked from the air' $100b. Someones wallet just got fatter.The plumbing here got numbered at $180b to fix. Could've got some of that fixed.
George says: Fantastic news - I am pleased to see this happening because it tells me clearly that there are no housing/education/health/child poverty issues in New Zealand.South guy 2 says; That's right, more debt!! And what makes it worse, it's for a cause that doesn't exist!!
Dike says; more good money after bad & a typical labour move to just shovel money at a problem & hope it goes away... you can bet there will be no accountability for spending...
tontoe says; Whose money?. And will someone tell James Shaw he better be rowing to Glasgow or using Skype because jumping on an airliner is so last century to attend a meeting and reeks of privilege and do as I say not as I do
I am all for saving the environment, but there is a limit and things need to be put into perspective. We have a housing issue, covid debt, health & education issues and government admits child poverty issues in New Zealand so where is the money for these issues. yet you can pull $1.3b out of your arse to give to other countries that are so called poorer. What countries are they for a start, and is it a loan? How is that money going to be spent?

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
While it is their choice to not get vaccinated, they also need to know that they are at more of a risk of catching and spreading it to others and especially to the new born, spreading it among their family.
It will also be peoples choice to ask if the are vaccinated, and refuse to let them near them or their new born.

New Zealand's reputation in international media for having one of the world's leading COVID-19 responses has been put in doubt by a quick increase in cases months after it began a strict alert level 4 lockdown.
Having already plummeted from the top spot to number 38 in Bloomberg's COVID Resilience Rankings - attributed to the Delta outbreak and relatively slow vaccination rollout - international media have also taken to spotlighting the country's large rise in infections.

That's what happens when you get absolute fuckwits breaking the rules, and the police force not given the power to truly enforce. You are lucky I am not in charge because if you break the rules and law set out you would be charged with bio-terrorism.
Also the mis-infomation that has spread like wild fire on the net is not helping either.
