agreed, there is a tonne of historical mistrust of govt in certain areas. All justified, you'll get no challenges regarding that from me. However, none of those injustices, reasons for mistrust are going to be fixed in a couple of years. Which leaves the current govt in a lose/lose situation. They are trying everything they can to reach out to these disenfranchised groups and get them up to the 90% vaccination level - with varied success. All the while they have a large portion of the country who are screaming to be given their freedoms back. I can see both sides of the argument and would not want to be making the call, I'm all for govt helping out those who struggle to help themselves, but also not a fan of allowing people to get away with taking zero responsibility for themselves.

I don't think any of us in Wellington, Auckland etc. need to go to Northland or the East Coast for our summer holidays?
I'd love to visit my ex in-laws in Hawkes Bay but I won't; not yet.
I'll go to Welly if there's a game of football to watch.
My read is Hipkins is wanting to go faster and Robertson and Ardern want to be cautious to see if they’ll be a case explosion. Though as you read here tfdik.
But Hipkins talking extra relaxation iirc.
