True. 20% holding 80% to ransom. Jacinda "be kind", yea right. Let people come home to family from overseas. This is getting crazy now, we have plenty of vaccines.

And I was taught during the 70s that the world had reached maximum population capacity - that there would be horrendous food shortage, famine and carnage if the world overpopulated beyond what was sustainable.
World population in 1970 was $3.7 billion - today it's 7.87 billion, 112% increase in 41 years!
Now we are warned about climate change.
Big difference between the two warnings is that if we are wrong, there is only one Earth and if it's buggered, we are all stuffed.
I'm not disputing humans have damaging effect. I am disputing failed science of global warming, rebranded as climate change. I see climate change as something that happens in cycles on Earth and we as humans have next to no effect to it. No amount of marketing and billions of $$ in climate change economy will change that. That's all it was 20 years ago and it's all it is now. Money grab. Do you really think electric cars are here to save the planet? By mining lithium, destroying landscape, polluting water, so you can replace battery every 7 years? If you wanted to be environmentaly friendly, you'd abolish consumerism.
Yes, killing other species is not confined to the current group of humans. I heard that the Dodo got wiped out. Those wonderful custodians the Maori managed to hunt down and kill every last Moa - which put paid to the Haast's Eagle as well. Basically 2 birds with 1 stone adze.
Humans were set to wipe out Whales at one point, but they've made a remarkable recovery.
500k people holding back the rest of NZ. Boy we are a docile bunch, and this government uses that against us.
Now, are we going to have special Iwi forum groups, and continual begging and negotiation, extra enticement to get the vax resisters onto their benefit payments and pensions?
Or, will they suddenly be no longer "hard to reach"?
Come on Jacinda, enough weasel words and double standards, Hit them with a big stick!
NZ expects!!
