That last comment is rather obtuse. How many NZers watch parliament on tv? Its not important how many people watch anything. It is important that a democracy continues to operate even during periods of crisis. In fact I would go one step further and say it is imperative they operate during periods of crisis.
This is a great initiative from the Government helping businesses struggling with the effects of the lockdown and people struggling to feed their families. Well done. https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/121...s-with-surplus
Don’t waste time debating with Panda-NZ. He actually believes that companies losing all their revenues during the lockdown were compensated fully via the wage subsidy!
Either he is incapable of understanding what he reads, or as his name suggests, he comes from a background where he has no understanding of democracy.

For those genuinely interested in understanding the human costs of what is unfolding out there.
