Shit is starting to unravel fast. Mrs CF watched the news. Digby has been working with border control for a month but Cindy was insinuating that he was taking over as a result of the leaks. More and more stories of lax management at hotels and elsewhere. Cindy did a good job in the initial crisis, but we are being reminded that this the same lot that were responsible for Kiwibuild, the Auckland Airport light rail system, and the planting of millions of trees among other things
Once the media turn, the fall is going to be nasty.

@canefan although is it really the border control that's the issue, it's the quarantine side of things (plus compassionate leave to infect NZ) that is the issue isn't it?
My impression was that the military are overseeing all of it now
-
@canefan yes, but didnt you say the big wig had been at the border all along (Implying that was not good form your wording above) which would seem to me that it isnt an issue, its once they get past border control things need tightening up.

So they're mates with an MP, who pulled strings, to get them out of quarantine.
Not surprised.
Surprised it's an opposition MP though, to have that much influence.
Or, he received an email from an electorate constituent which he forwarded to the Ministry of Health.
One of these stories is true.

I don't know whether to laugh or scream at the story of the homeless guy who wandered into the Crowne Plaza and stayed two weeks for free. He only got found out when they asked his home address as he left.
Honestly, it's a circus of clusterfucks in Auckland.

Yep, and I'd be surprised if that MP thought for one moment that a compassionate exemption would mean they were allowed out without a covid test...

These are the crew that gave you Kiwibuild. When you stop and think about it, why are we surprised?

@canefan The difference between now and a wee while ago when we thought we had beat the virus and everything was under control is insane. We got the giant cake, but instead of a supermodel, JayJay or Millie or someone leaped out. Naked.
I need a cold shower

By all accounts it was at the start of the trip, they took the wrong exit and went north. Due to science or some such, even though it is in the opposite direction to the one they needed to go it didn’t actually increase the distance the car went, so they still had plenty of fuel.
Also, despite being the type of people who in that situation got stressed enough to bail and call a friend to come and give them directions in person, they weren’t the kind of people who got stressed by the fact that, despite being in an unfamiliar car on an unfamiliar road in an unfamiliar country, they found themselves around Levin with a fuel gauge indicating less than a quarter of a tank and signs telling them they were still 90 kms away from their destination. At least not stressed enough to stop for gas. Balls of steel.
