I thought Muller handled some rigorous questioning well. He's not the most charismatic bloke, but I'll take competence and honesty over Cindy's Cabinet of Incompetents any day.

Not only incompetents but consummate CYA practitioners as well - see the way that Comrade Cindy & David Clark shifted the blame very quickly today in unison for the quarantine stuff up to Dr Bloomfield?
They referred on numerous occasions to the assurances of testing by the Director General of Health - when of course Dr Bloomfield himself relied upon his staff on the ground & their assurances to carry out instructions, just as the government relied upon Dr Bloomfield.
Dr Bloomfield has accepted responsibility but not David Clark or Comrade Cindy.
Why do you think they should take 'blame'?
They asked all the right questions and got the answers that satisfied them.
They'd be to blame if they hadn't asked the questions.
Or should they have gone up to Auckland to manage all this themselves - be in many places at the same time?
Yes, it should be easy to find a sacrificial lamb or two - not a minister, of course!Quote:
So at worst a staff or few could be sacked. Great the army coming in to put some discipline into lockdown.
;)
Well someone made the call thinking they were doing the right thing being kind and breaking the protocols to allow these people to go( under strict conditions luckily). the buck stops wit them. Hopefully we will hear the full story and said person/s will be given another chance unless they have history of rule breaking.
Same as Dr Bloomfield, right?
Is he expected to go up to Auckland to manage all this himself? Surely he should be able to rely on the Auckland staff as well.
He accepted responsibility for his staff but Comrade Cindy & David Clark (who breached lockdown conditions twice) are not prepared to accept ultimate responsibility being the two highest up in charge. They cannot bring themselves to be responsible for Dr Bloomfield but were very very happy to bask in his success when things were going well?
Jonu is one mixed up dude ehh. Aah well heres hoping he gets a hospital pass so to speak, one day and learns a few life lessons and then gets back up again.Lifes been a silver spoon by the looks of it.
