We clearly agree re Johnson.
Earthquakes are part of life sadly in NZ - especially the tragic Christchurch; and one utter nutter acting alone in a mosque is hardly terrorist central (despicable as it undoubtedly was)
It is one thing looking good throwing borrowed money around during a pandemic and then actually having to finance that when you have publicly de-prioritised growth like she has.
Ardern's tests will be what she does when she really has problems and when the electorate is not distracted from the economy and actually remembers what she did rather than said.
The new leader of the opposition will test her, and it will be an interesting 67 days to the election.
In fact, pre covid it was anybody's guess who would be PM, she certainly wasn't a shoe in.
She has been hamstrung as part of a coalition, NZfirst have put the brakes on quite a few of the policies that labour wanted to introduce. Lest see if they get the chance in September.
