Julie Iles, the press gallery journo from NBR tweeted that the Prime Minister’s Office has told the PM to pull her head in and shut up about individual cases:

That tweet was subsequently memory holed as it was technically incorrect, but the general gist of the tweet was correct:

Clearly the journalist has been put under pressure, for daring to raise some uncomfortable truths about ‘Jackboot’ Jacinda Ardern.

But it is obvious that ‘Jackboot’ Jacinda Ardern has been told by someone very senior in the DPMC, probably backed up by a Crown Law opinion, that her comments have exposed the Government to a very expensive defamation law suit that they’d almost certainly lose.

Otherwise why would she be told to pull her head in?

Watch out for the backlash, “Cinders” doesn’t like bad news.

And right on cue, the media report that even though the decision about lifting Auckland’s false flag lockdown has been made, the Prime Minister is petulantly waiting until today to share with us her decision.

Auckland will have to wait until Friday to find out if the city will move to Covid-19 alert level 1.

Cabinet is due to meet on Thursday to decide on alert level changes. Auckland has been at a higher alert level since February 28, when it shifted to alert level 3 after evidence of community transmission.

If Auckland moves down alert levels, it will hopefully mark the end of Auckland’s yo-yo lockdown following the discovery of the Valentine’s Day cluster.

But there has been some frustration that whatever Cabinet decides, Aucklanders won’t know the outcome of the alert level shift until it is announced by the Government Friday morning.

She is such a power-crazy woman. The decision was made yesterday, but she won’t announce it until today and probably won’t change until Sunday morning. She’s just pissy that she’s been told to STFU and stop defaming people, so Auckland continues to suffer. So much for ‘be kind’…she’s actually the mean kid here.

Meanwhile:

Except they did precisely that.

Perhaps they should delete the Unite against Covid Facebook page.

Shutdown the “sustained propaganda”.
