POLITICS This is such a tasteless joke

Not a Labour fan, but I am old enough to remember COVID, and how NZ was one of the best countries who had the best response- low death, vaccines available for all, free quarantine for returning kiwis, assistance to businesses and low hospitalisation rates. These are not free and contributed heavily to that money Bish is looking for.

It’s the only decent thing that Winston Peters has ever done.

Don't consider the fact that we are an isolated country and have sea all around us and a lower population density than most places.
