Kate Hawkesby: Inconsistencies and double-standards from Government are galling
It’s hard not to feel sorry for Northland this morning, and the Waikato for that matter.
I mean Waikato has two cases and they’re staying in Level 3, which seems over the top.
And as for Northland, they’re only staying in Level 3 because the absconders won’t help Police with their enquires; won’t fess up any locations of interest, won’t be honest.
I mean how is it a whole hard-working, law-abiding population of people in the North are being held to ransom by two losers?
Zero cases in Northland, and 2 household contacts in Waikato and boom, they stay in level 3.
Vaxathon this weekend anyone?…
