Sure, I get that there are pockets of people extremely paissed off at the pandemic and response but AFAIK New Zealanders poll as being overall quite satisfied with the pandemic response.
I mean, the UK had a death rate x4 that of NZ. And it did that by making difficult decisions quickly. They also avoided handing billions to their mates too. As for the prices they paid for PPE and testing...a fraction of what the UK negotiated even when adjusted for population.

I know my sister in-law was pissed off about it because she couldn’t get to NZ to visit her elderly mum who lived there alone so she went a good couple of years without seeing her just after her husband had passed. I can’t remember the details, could people leave NZ at that time?? I dunno, just saying I know she was critical of it as a kiwi.
