Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-rpr9m-e74449 This week has seen an astonishing turn of events. On Sunday last week the Prime Minister launched her election campaign at the Auckland Town Hall  with a policy free speech. She declared that she was essentially going to use the election campaign as a referendum on her response to the Chinese plague. She was banking on the high polling to continue, that there would be continued positive international media coverage of her obvious brilliance at standing alone in the world and beating the plague. On Monday she announced we had passed 100 days with no community spread. And on Tuesday it all came crashing down as she had to announce that she was locking a third of the population down because we now had community transmission in Auckland. Think about that for a minute...we were told we were still virus free on Monday, and by Tuesday, because four people tested positive we now had to lock down a third of the population. By Saturday in just five days the number of active infections has reached 69 people. This can only be because of failure at the border, because if it isn’t it means that we actually hadn’t eliminated the virus like claimed and the folly of only testing symptomatic people is exposed. The Prime Minister wanted an election fought on her response to the Chinese plague, and now she’s got it. And she is drowning in failure, which is why poor old hapless Chris Hipkins is busy fronting all the failure.  There is no way Labour are going to let their Covid Queen deliver bad news. And so we are now lurching towards an election where only the government is allowed to campaign, which is what they do every day with the 1pm briefings. The election must be delayed, but Labour won’t want that because every day that goes by records more failure and then the subsidised chickens are going to come home to roost. Labour are gambling with our democracy but I think they’ve under-estimated the palpable anger on the streets. We did out part and complied with their illegal lock downs, but it turns out the government hasn’t been doing their part.
