Thread: Total lock down in 48hours

I admire your boundless optimism Phil, but I don't share it. When Burqdern put the failed gun-thief drinking-driving Commish in charge of enforcing laws on the law-abiding while taking tea with the meth-dealing gun-keeping gangs... Well, there it is.

If the current spouting on special tv1 news this arfo is anything to go by, the restrictions on movement are now severe and to be ridgidly enforced. Can't help wondering that had the many NZ doctors who signed the petition a few days ago which succeeded in embarrassing the government into urgent action had not overcome the initial attempts to play it down, just how much worse shite NZ would be in now. As it is we seem to be looking at months of this. And China squealing that we should reopen our borders to them.
America, please remain our staunch friend.

They're not going half arse. They were waving down traffic on Malfroy Rd this morning and asking where and why.

So when the PM was telling everyone via national media that driving to your local parks and reserves for recreation was fine as long as you didn't mingle with other people, and the ministry of health was telling people hunting was ok as long as your don't go outside your area or take risks, but the police commissioner was saying anyone driving for anything except essential supplies would be stopped and maybe arrested, that was clear and not contradictory? Pull the other one, its got bells on.

Where did I say anything like that? I'm all ears...

And let us not forget the Show Pony telling Nationwide TV that it would be acceptable for over 70's living on their own to match up with other over 70's living on their own to combat loneliness and isolation, as long as both of them agreed not to have any contact with other people.

Seems like she was slapped down on that one very quickly as it has not been mentioned since. Probably been told to just read what is written on the script handed to her for her news briefs, no ad-libbing and to leave the newsroom as soon as she has finished reading her script.
Sheeeesh, what a liability she is.

A liability would be easier to deal with. You adjust the balance sheet and move on. The currently Prime Ministerial Cretin has actually quite significant powers which she doesn't hesitate to use against non-communists. Go ahead, change my mind...

If you’re getting conflicting information try using common sense. Do you think it’s currently sensible to drive a significant distance for a nonessential activity? Do you think it’s sensible to engage in an activity with some inherent risk (e.g. hunting) that could result in an injury and a SAR call out, which could put SAR staff at risk of infection and put further burden on a stretched health system?

The ignorance is astounding.

Stay at home unless going to the supermarket, petrol station, essential job or hospital.

There, @GravelBen, now you know the rules.

Stay home, be responsible, my sister is a nurse, my daughter is a nurse and my dad is a paramedic, all front line and this is serious, if my mum gets it she will die as she is a liver transplant patient, and many of us have parents that will not survive it, we all have to do our bit, posting images of a stag you just shot while we sit at home trying to do the right thing.... if you go out shut up about it, I for one don’t want to know.

Its not ignorance its arrogance!!!!

Its real simple stay the F#%k home !!!!

As an emergency service im doing my bit. Please do your bit stay home, dont go for a hunt they will still be there when this is all over!

Again, why are trying to put words into my mouth? Did you even read my post?

This is what you get when there's been a purposeful attempt to "dump down" the population plus few boundaries and consequences.

A lot of people don't understand how contagious this thing is. Why do you think it's killed/infected so many people worldwide? So Just do as your f@#ken told. Forget going hunting for now. What's one missed roar ffs?

Rant over.

The idiots considering going hunting, had better not be on here or FB complaining after the cops catch them and take their guns away.

It's the same clowns whose irresponsible behaviour got semi autos taken away. Tarrant was just the final straw. Some of the people who have been hanging around the NZDA, shooting clubs etc for the last few years give me the creeps.

Do as you've been told, and stop trying to fuck everything up for others.
