Minister Nash has spoken, do not expect any more government support for “bleeding” tourism businesses. Unless there is a change of alert levels. Ok, so rather than be proactive and support the tourism industry, just cut us off at the knees and only feed us a bit of wage subsidy every time another community outbreak occurs. Case in point right now with Auckland at Level 3. Thanks Minister Nash, thanks Prime Minister Ardern. That is really positive and kind. Community outbreaks here and in Australia will keep happening. That’s a given but no reason to abandon plans for an Aussie Bubble and giving hope to “bleeding” tourism in our region. The Aussies let Kiwis enter without quarantine, then quickly and defi nitively shut us off at the fi rst sniff of Covid, as they have done now with the latest outbreak. They do the same thing domestically. Look at Victoria. Cut off from the rest of Australia. But you can still travel Sydney to Brisbane return with no quarantine.

    May 2018 ANZAC Day Māori dead acknowledged Every year the crowd attending the ANZAC parade and ceremony in Carterton grows bigger. This year the square was packed. In a welcome addition to the usual ceremony, Carterton’s Anaru and Dallas Te Rangi were officially invited to contribute. On the podium, Anaru held a photo of his mother’s grandfather, Tom Brown, who died in World War 1 and Dallas addressed the crowd in te reo. Carterton School children then performed the haka, Ko Wairarapa. With tears in his eyes, Anaru and Dallas’s father, Hone Te Rangi, embraced them when they stepped down from the podium. “I’m so proud of my boys,” he said. It was a beginning for the town: an acknowledgement of the active role local Māori played in the country’s wars. It is only right that the RSA and the Council have taken an initial step to recognise the Māori contribution to this country’s past. The casualty rate for Māori was much higher than for pakeha and the ANZAC ceremony is only complete when there is an acknowledgement of this.

    I see red, I see red, I see red Election 2020 at a glance “We will govern for all New Zealanders” Jacinda Ardern A year full of unprecedented events has delivered one more: for the first time since MMP was introduced in 1996, one party has won a Parliamentary majority. Labour was expected to dominate, but few, even in Labour, would have predicted the extent of the red-wash. Once the special votes are counted Labour is expected to have the third largest vote in its history, and the largest since 1946. Jacinda Ardern and Labour can govern alone for the next three years. Anyone worried that the Greens will hold a disproportionate sway can rest easy. This is going to be a Labour Government led by a careful thinker who wants a third term. Labour’s mandate Last night’s election result was a ringing endorsement of Labour’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. In some ways it is a vote of thanks but also a show of trust in Jacinda Ardern’s ability to lead through tough and testing times. With a tick over 49 percent of the vote (and expected to lift one or two percent more once special votes are counted) Labour now has a massive mandate from 1- I see red, I see red, I see red the New Zealand public.
