According to Jo Moir, Peeni Henare supports Maori communities breaking the law.
What Peeni Henare is actually saying is that he disagrees with his Prime Minister and the Ministry of Health both of whom are saying that we are at Level Two in our response to COVID-19.
He is a minister of the crown; he should know better than that. More importantly, he is saying we should bypass Level Three and go straight to Level Four.
This is what happens when there is a crisis in our leadership and vacuums are created.
The Prime Minister should immediately yank him back into line, or agree with him and take us to Level Four. I suspect she will dither for a few more days while COVID-19 runs rampant through our community.
The claims of the government that we are going hard and going early are nothing but slogans for stupid people ready to believe that the government is on top of things. They aren’t, and that will soon be revealed as numbers balloon.
