to be little bit fair to him - isn't it the governments job to put a value on a life? Otherwise we would be in lockdown for the rest of our lives.
Treasury put a value of 4.7 million per person. Gareth got the 10k number because someone he knows had his medication declined from pharmac and the cost of that medication was 10k.
and that is my issue with GM, he happily takes figures from his own experiences (as we all do) and cites them as fact - the problem with that is he has a bigger profile than the average Joe complaining to his mates because he is wealthy. He and Hosking are much the same - they like to take the opposing views just to stir the pot - they claim its too encourage conversation and its a good thing, but often its more about pushing their own agendas.
