SUPER RUGBY WHERE?
Last time I looked we were living in New Zealand. This is typical of this socialist Government and one of its agendas based around race.
Not even Maori agree that New Zealand was ever called Aotearoa. Maybe some Maori referred to the North Island as Aotearoa, but never the whole country.
'New Zealand' Rugby look as though they have joined the separatists in the quest for an ascendancy over the general population. I wonder what the fans will think of this?
It is becoming increasingly obvious that over the last couple of decades under Labour and National our rights have been eroded as New Zealanders, down to a point where we are now just told what is going to happen. How it is going to be. And remember the rules, if you complain you are racist

A HORRIBLE PICTURE
Looks like the self-isolation, personal testing and quarantine facilities are still as slack or non-existent as they were in February/March 2020 when the borders were closed late and ludicrous self-monitoring isolation was rampant with the police checks missing in action.
Unbelievable, inadequate, dangerous and inexcusable, and yet another Boy Scout hurriedly appointed to keep tabs on those who are supposed to (but often don’t) administer and check on the arrival ‘victims’ compliance and whereabouts. The illegal roadblocks and unlawful BLM protest gatherings have tainted just about everything else, so then strict compliance goes awol.
At the outset Clark and Bush, charged with policing policies, were evasive, unhelpful, and did not seem to answer media questions properly in an open and transparent manner to put it mildly, while Bloomfield was missing in action so his mooted New Year knighthood gong looks to have gone down the gurgler. Many heads should roll over this mess.
As for Ms Ardern, she came across like a possum in the car headlights. She is shallow and mealy-mouthed on a good day.
We have 14,000 police officers, all the army and other armed services, yet seemingly we cannot strictly monitor about 3500 people in compulsory isolation masquerading as quarantine in hotels. Two hundred personnel, four at each site working three shifts a day, could deal to the policing issues on their ear, you would think. In addition, all travellers to New Zealand must be given an information sheet at the departure airport and again by NZ Customs on arrival, setting out their strict obligations (signed and acknowledged by them) as to what the compulsory protocol is.
When they leave quarantine they must be tested and clear of the virus, signed out and the release form peer reviewed. How hard can that simple task be? Also, all arrivals should have tests and clearances before they board any plane for New Zealand.
All the official reports are critical, and you have to ask, do this lot ever get anything right? Frankly it’s a horrible picture, and an indictment on how to endanger Kiwi lives.
All other major projects attempted to date this by inept government since 2017 have turned to custard, proving this lot of misfits could not organise a booze-up in a brewery. That’s a fact, not supposition.
