'Today ... we are ready': Ardern reveals midnight move to level 1
Well done NZ (well most of) and congrats to our PM leading us through this.
Yes, she remains an excellent communicator. I reckon she gave us 2 and a 1/2 minutes of spin before she finally announced Level 1. It has become a sad feature of her announcements. Heavily politicised propaganda campaign.
FRAME THE NARRATIVE. The first rule of modern propaganda and Ardern is a master at it.
When asked about the "caretaker" role a government takes 3 months out from an election she was at her evasive best, knowing full well they have a 20 billion dollar slush fund to dish lollies from leading into the election, and can claim it was already allocated.
A master class in cynical political opportunism. One for political historians to salivate over for generations. We're just the poor schmucks who will have to pay for it.
Well done NZ. Smile and feel good about level 1 while you have been royally screwed over.
Bang on observations, jonu.
I have confidence that post lockdown L2, the focus will shift back to economic matters.
Reality will hit soon enough that NZ has an incompetent government incapable of delivering economic growth and stability.
The youth of NZ would have already worked out by now that Comrade Cindy is not going to lead them Into the promised land of affordable housing, relevant education and career opportunities.
In fact, this government has betrayed every economic promise it made in 2017 to steal the election at that time. And the youths and their children are going to pay for the debt burden which will be passed to them for generations to repay.
Bring on September!
Kiwibuild, anyone? 🤪
