It is now official, we have New Zealand’s first dictatorship, Gauleiter Ardern has suspended parliament at the behest of the un-elected Dr Ashley Bloomfield.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will suspend Parliament as the Delta outbreak continues to infect more people.
She will do so based on the advice of Health Director General Dr. Ashley Bloomfield.
Parliament was set to resume this on Tuesday.
Labour were keen to suspend Parliament on a bipartisan basis using the business committee, which would have required National to agree.
But National argued that the Prime Minister should make the call herself under a power granted to her in Standing Orders.
That power requires the advice of the Director General of Health.
National and ACT have both argued Parliament should resume in some form.
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said the decision was similar to that made during level 4 last year.
“At level 4, the last thing you want is 120 people converging from all parts of New Zealand into Wellington,” he said.
Ardern will announce the suspension at her post-cabinet press conference at 4pm.
