I thought that they had moved to that but seems that the daily brief goes on for now.
Maybe the press asked for it - handy access to ask questions.

Professor Gorman :
NZ caught totally un-prepared for virus outbreak despite plenty of warnings from outbreak overseas.
Being an island nation, defence against outbreak must be at the border to stop those with the virus spreading it.
High trust model of self-isolation for the tens of thousands of travellers into NZ - naive in the extreme.
Should have used police and/or army (like in Taiwan) to make sure self-isolation strictly enforced. War against Covid-19 - necessary action.
Strictest lockdown ONLY option due to above.
Fortunate NZers took outbreak seriously - why lockdown works.
Economic costs are going to be horrendous. Unnecessary if tough and decisive action taken initially.
Well....we have an opportunity later this year to get a new government....if that is what the collective “we” want.
It’s not so far away. Be interesting to see the outcome.

Labour at 55%, National under 30% in UMR polls.
Good stuff!
Will hasten departure of Simon. :t_up:
I read today that Bridges has been withholding Nationals own internal polling from his MP's.
Todd Muller has to be a contender.
