What the actual hell???
National will also develop a long-term solution for safe re-entry by bringing private accommodation providers into the Government-controlled managed isolation network.
The pure insanity of privatising the border so that more capacity can come into NZ manages to eclipse National’s obscene Tax Cuts as the single dumbest idea so far.
Why would a company trying to make profit be trusted to keep the plague out?
Why the Christ would you ever put forward such a stupid idea?
Private companies aren’t going to put the economic well being of the entire country at the heart of every ‘client’.
In the face of the pandemic, National are going more free market and they will put their trust in that free market over the direct hand of the State.
Are you all really going to allow National to do this?
Privatise the border?
If New Zealanders are vacant enough to vote for this, we deserve everything that happens after it.
The sleepy hobbits of muddle Nu Zilind can’t be this stupid can we?

National stands for = ‘privatise the country’ – sell it out.
And genocide.
Geronticide WK
It would be Serco at the borders for most of us, (with the quarantined paying for their own imprisonment) and luxury lodges for friends of the 1% (paid for out of maxed-out CEO rorts).
And more ‘ clusters’ breaking out.
And for foreign business interests to make much more dirty money from even more spread of Covid 19!!!!!
Profiteering from the pandemic. Who would do that.
Chucky.
I think you mean Chucky’s bride who looks just like Collins, raised eyebrows as well!
The Neoliberal National Party thats WHO! Sell NZ & Kiwi’s off to the highest bidder then leave Labour to clean up the mess!
Privatised borders is nationals way of not having to accept any responsibility when the shit hits the fan.
I see Judeath was pretending to care about the poor last night including the Samoan people. She claimed to know what its like cause her husband is Samoa, what a load of bullshit. And then she said she will not raise the minimum wage nor was she interested in legislating for warmer homes. Yet we know PI are over represented in, homelessness, crowded housing and in low paying jobs with many having to work multiple jobs just to survive. Gollums tax cuts for middle income earners is a kick in the guts to the PI people she claims to care about. Being rude and butting in last night during he debate shows she is not fit to be our PM or represent us on the world stage. And as for our PM she needs to ditch the ‘may I’ line, I was waiting for Gollum to say, ‘no you may not’.
‘If New Zealanders are vacant enough to vote for this, we deserve everything that happens after it’
Unfortunately, New Zealanders ARE vacant enough to vote for this, especially when bribed by the prospect of tax cuts. (Has there ever been an election in which National didn’t promise tax cuts?)
Never forget that National policy is all about enriching sociopaths and eco-vandals at the expense of everyone else in the short term, and at the everyone in the medium term (there is no long term, now)…somewhat more than Labour.
As long as Labour remains locked into ‘growth and jobs’ we are increasingly fucked, I’m afraid.
100% agreed Afewknowthetruth;
We need a transofmational change to egelitarianism now not more Neo-liberal crap and burnt out “trickle Down” lies again.
Even better, they’re proposing that Gerry “Christchurch Rebuild” Brownlee be in charge of this shitshow. What could possibly go wrong?
And will Southern Response pick up the bill if National’s shitshow, goes pear-shaped (sorry Gerry) and their privatised fustercluck-in-waiting, turns to custard?
Mixed metaphor I know, but, Collins and her crew are constantly wringing their hands together, holding their breaths and turning blue, pulling their hair out when some selfish arsehole escapes from quarantine to go for a wine, or a shag, or a ciggy and puts the team of 5million x 6 weeks of lockdown, at stake.
So mum and dad investors (John Key’s Electricity Shareholders, not mine) with an AirBnB wants to be a quarantine facility, can apply to the Judith and Gerry Show and get a dozen or so lowish-risk.
The Quaraninte Agency will sort it out. Yeah right Judith.
