Looks like New Zealand is even worse off than we are

"Looks like New Zealand is even worse off than we are..."

From a Friend: Song -- "Hope New Zealand" * YouTube

• Dedicated to the tens of thousands of Kiwis who have been unable to return to their home for many months and with little outlook or certainty for when that will change.

 --- NOTICE Mon. 11, Oct: Typical of CensorTube to no longer make "Hope New Zealand" song available!  But you can find it at TVGab  LINK

*Hope is also an actual place in New Zealand -- a small settlement of just under 1,000 people.Wiki

What follows is some of what prompted that song:

NewsHub: Highly skilled worker quits New Zealand after family denied entry

• It should have been the Kiwi dream, instead a high-achieving immigrant says he will leave the country because his wife and daughter are not allowed in.

Stuff.co: Teen who hasn't seen dad in 2 years tells Prime Minister MIQ system is 'flat-out ridiculous'

Stuff.co: 21-year-old should be celebrating the last few months of one of life’s great adventures – four years on a running scholarship to the University of Portland, in the US state of Oregon.

• Instead, she’s seeing a counsellor once a week, the stress and uncertainty clawing at her mental health.
• An illegal alien in a foreign country, with no way home.
• All this despite: Section 18 of The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act declares that “every New Zealand citizen has the right to enter New Zealand”.

EmpoweredKiwis: (Prime Minister) Ardern’s ‘woke politics are leading New Zealand towards ‘a form of apartheid’

• The Labour Party is pushing ahead with an ethno-nationalist country and if we go ahead with the kind of thinking outlined in He Puapua, there will be separate courts, a separate chamber of parliament, a separate health authority for Māori, and ethnicity will be politicised.
• At Empowered Kiwis we believe all Kiwis are equal whether they be Maori, Pacifica, Asian or European and everyone is entitled to the same treatment.

Just Who is Jacinda Ardern?

More to the point: just what has she got going for her?

Well, she's "globally popular":

Spectator: if she did not exist, she would have to be invented. She ticks all the boxes... no amount of counter-evidence will change our minds.

• Ardern cruised to an absolute majority based on her saintly image.

(Read the whole thing; it's really good sarcasm.)

TheSun. After Pakistan’s Benzair Bhutto in 1990, she is "the second world leader in history to give birth while in power" .

•  She's a "career politician: was an advisor to Tony Blair .

[YYC: So that's what happened to him!]. 

(Express) She's had at least one "secret meeting" with Megan Markle.

(TheCoast) Megan "put Jacinda on the cover of Vogue".

-- and she's also involved in a "self isolation plot" -- oh, sorry, that was "pilot" not "plot".

There's even a "popular Pizza chain" that slammed Greta Thunberg after Thunberg "slammed Jacinda" for dragging her heels on climate. DailyMail

Presumably, she's doing amazing things for (at least some of ) the people of New Zealand:

Stuff.co.nz: Covid-19: Case numbers rise to 60, experts say 'expected' but 'concerning'

Case numbers, eh? People who got "tested" with an unreliable "test"; not necessarily sick with Covid, but the very word "cases" is enough to continue to mess around in people's personal lives while touting freedom and democracy.
