Prime Minister, not all of your "team of 5 million" is that stupid

[WalOne]

Experts doing the opposite of what they are advising
Minister of Health going mountain biking during a lockdown, and taking his family for a long drive during a lockdown.
AKers still leaving Ak for a holiday , thats still happening .
Mass exit to holiday homes out of Ak the night before lockdown.

That's the theme of this thread ... "not all of your "team of 5 million" is that stupid".

Auckland, being the most populated centre of the country, obviously has proportionately most of its quota of idiots, and this just goes to prove it.

Disproportionately though are the actions of the member for Remutaka, a Cabinet Minister renowned for having his sanity questionable then as is now, in the process shooting himself in the foot - and thereby showing stupidity is not exclusive to JAFAs.

I don't have an issue with your post, zqwerty, and thanks for posting the verifiable information. Yours provides a link to an accountable and reputable source, which piroskas does not. Piroska's xrays could be of anything, the advancing record of any number of lung diseases - TB for one. We just don't know and have to trust the authenticity or otherwise of the images to the reputation of an anonymous person who made the post under a non-de-plume.

I have researched the image and it is valid, so added the reference.

I am aware there is a lot of misinformation / misleading information being posted on the web. It is important to validate your "facts" with a reference (and no, conspiracy nutcase websites and Facebook are not a reputable source). This allows people to judge for themselves and give weighing whether to accept that fact.

In case anybody missed it (because our subservient media didn't cover it fully), the Government paid the Media $55m as operating funds to keep going during Covid. And if anybody hasn't thought that through, the $55m came from the only source of funds they (and any government) have: you and I - aka the taxpayers.

Garrick Tremain's comment:



$55m of our taxpayer dollar spent / invested wisely in the public interest? Aunty was giving us "up to the minute" Covid data in this morning's site - with data dating from 8 days ago. This was more $55m spent for the media to look the other way and not give us factual information. In anybody's language, a bribe.

I wonder why very little that is critical of the PM, the Government in general or any adverse comment on the handling of Covid is ever published.

Exactly, CliveM.

The silence of our news media has been bought.
