Ms Ardern has been at pains to let us all know that we should only listen to information from official Government sources. Apparently everything else should be “taken with a grain of salt”.
“We will share with you the most up-to-date information daily. You can trust us as a source of that information,”
Well if this is the case, why then is simple information, such as what flight an infected person was on, still missing from the official information list more than 12 days after the person’s arrival?
How hard is it to find out when a tourist arrived in the country? If we have their name and date of birth (items which are conveniently listed on their passports), then a simple immigration check will give us those details.
Why are people who were potentially on the same flights as these infected people not being given the chance to find out?
Below is the official list which was, at the time of writing (12 noon, Fri 20th March), missing a large amount of pertinent information.

Well sorry Prime Minister, it’s not bloody good enough. You must have this information available, so how about doing your job and getting it out to people whose lives might be at risk?
A more incompetent bunch of fools running this ship we have never had!
Trust only information coming from the Government?
Yeah, nah, sorry, but I just can’t trust a single thing that this Government does, and I have absolutely no faith in their ability to control anything. We are solidly in the hope and pray mode now.
What’s the next stage? The International Sign of Distress. Maybe Team America can help us?
