Keeping them honest wasn't, but Winnie claiming it - was.

Becoming very clear that Ardern & Hipkins have been shifting blame on COVID mishaps to others who were not at fault - but whose stories were inconvenient about how hapless the government really was :
1. KFC worker

New documents confirm coronavirus Case L, who went to work at an Auckland KFC before testing positive three days later, wasn't contacted directly by health officials until after the shift.
Health officials had claimed there were multiple attempts to contact the family, but 19-year-old Case L claimed she did not receive clear instructions to self-isolate before her February 22 shift - leading to a war of words with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield.
2. Charlotte Bellis

Former Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins has apologised to Charlotte Bellis for comments made regarding her MIQ application.
Hipkins said he has written to the New Zealand journalist apologising for errors in comments he made earlier this year and for the inclusion of personal information.
The journalist went public with her struggle to secure an MIQ spot to get home from Afghanistan while pregnant.
Hipkins had previously refused to apologise for his comments over her case.
3. Northland lockdown

A blunder by a government worker sent Northland into an 11-day lockdown after travel documents that were meant to be declined were mistakenly approved.
The case of three women who travelled from Auckland to Northland hit headlines in October 2021 in the midst of a Delta outbreak - but new documents released under the Official Information Act finally outline the truth behind the saga, and the reason Northland was put into lockdown.
The OIA papers show the women - who had earlier been blamed for using "false information" to get travel permits - had no links to gangs and weren't sex workers, as had been suggested.
Among the documents released is a summary of a police investigation into the women which found "no offence" and no "deception" in obtaining the travel documents.
Now documents show the first direct communication between Case L and the Auckland Regional Public Health Service (ARPHS) was on February 23 - the day after.
It's also embarrassing and awkward that so many of us bought into the charade, upset our lives, became minions to the government believing their BS, and now still living the consequences which will go on for a long time yet.
Trust. It's the one thing every government needs, trust, and yet this government has forsaken trust for its ideals while failing to implement any of them. Deceit, outright lies, obfuscation, there's no end to how far this government will go to hoodwinking the populous.
It's not about Adern, it's the Labour government that are treating NZ'ers like dumb ****s. Shoot the PM messenger if you want, but even she is a puppet of the Labour machine and their socialist policies and woefully inadequate means or timing to implement them.
It's all coming un-stuck, in front of our eyes we are witnessing the undoing of an overly optimistic government with no realistic grasp on how long or what it takes to fundamentally implement change.
Their legacy looks like being that they are hoisted out of government without having actually achieved anything meaningful, how's that going to look on their CV's?
Exactly, a total sham, bloody disgraceful. Without a doubt the worst government we have ever experienced. Hopefully we can learn this from and turn this country back on track if is not too late.
The left puppets that parade around these parts can go for a hike also.
What would be more of a sham is a theocracy, i'm not into christian "values" myself.
