This could have been the case last year if Jacinta looked at the big picture.
Imagine how many hugs and tears will happen when the rest of the borders open.....I hate being trapped in this country.
Please don't besmirch the name Jacinta, it's Jacinda, but then again most people I know don't call her that either.
The only big picture the celebrity PM looks at is public opinion. If the "focus group" feedback says the public think some thing is important then Cindy will think the same. She's far to afraid to say what she thinks in case it reduces her popularity. Unfortunately for too long a lot of the population were scared into thinking the borders needed to be closed at all costs and she wasn't going to go against the flow no matter what logic and reason might suggest.
We could have had workers from the Pacific Islands come here for seasonal work as they would have normally done, but no, sorry borders are closed. Those workers have gone to the West Island while our farmers have produce go to waste.
