Will Vaccination Passports be the straw that breaks Labour’s back?

There has been 4 different dates as to when we can get our vaccination passports.

First it was mid November.

Then it was the end of November.

Then it was early December.

Now it’s back to mid November but I’m guessing that will become end of November.

The system already looks buggered.

Many, many, many New Zealanders don’t have a drivers license or passport so they will have to apply elsewhere which of course will see people not get their passports despite having been in de facto house arrest for what will be 4 months.

If the Government fuck up the vaccination passports, anxious people desperate to get their life back are going to lose their shit.

  1. “If the Government fuck up the …”
    It’s a long long, long list Martyn.
    This is the Social-lite Media friendly party that doesn’t deliver anything that it says can or ‘believes’ it can.

    The anti nutters will probably dispatch this government before the term is over in 2023 I recks?

  2. As it stands today, the passport idea is a clusterfuck!

    Will we Aucklander’s seriously have to pass through some kind of Checkpoint Charlie to leave our own East Berlin? Seriously??

    At the mythical 90% vax rate, is it even worth all the mad bureaucracy?

    Can the police afford to have staff eternally manning checkpoints checking identity passes?

    Who really knows? But Burkina Faso, that beacon of democracy, has had one for a while now. Perhaps these turkeys also known as our Ministers of the Crown could ask them how?

      • North Korea; limited freedom of movement, limited goods to buy, near zero opportunities unless you are in the party, house arrest, no freedom of association, identity documentation requirements, fuck all to do and pure unadulterated bullshit from the ruling party and leader who think their citizens are imbeciles, done through party political broadcasts.

        Auckland New Zealand, 2021, umm, Snap!

        Pretty good comparison Bert. But I think even they don’t dictate what toilets you can use!

      • bert, do you realise a double vaxxed person can spread covid just like an unvaxxed person?

        We don’t need a passport, it’s a crock of shit.

        The end.

            • Frank, that is precisely what he didn’t say. Read the comment again. You can catch it, but you are less likely to pass it on, less likely to get really sick, less likely to need serious medical attention consuming time and resources meaning you won’t be denying somebody their surgery that they have already waited months maybe years for.

              • Take no notice of him.. He’s only her to massage his own ego.. Pretty much like the rest of his “book burning brethren”..

        • Bert and thousands of others know vaccine limits the adverse effect of covid and so keeps hospitals less busy . Do your research from reliable information get vaccinated and earn your passport then you can come out and play or work your choice .

          • Thank you Trevor, see The Kraut below, he still hasn’t worked it out, a major cognitive deficit going on there.

  3. Well the govt certainly doesn’t care about those who don’t have, cannot afford, or who are techno phobes, so don’t happen to have a smartphone, they’re quite happy for those people to be disenfranchised and imprisoned in their homes….especially galling is the fact that disabled folk are more likely to live in poverty and find they can’t afford a device.
    Already there are problems of clone apps in australia that allow a fake to be used.

    No home printer for the easily forgeable printed version that is almost designed to spread covid by enabling the usual suspects….well fear not the covid karens of the wellington twatterati do have printers.

    Now, I’m actually in favour of vax passports it’s just that this govt has followed it’s usual arse about face procedure they’ve had months to sort out cheap limited function devices for the vulnerable and skint. Or a difficult to forge credit card size plastic card a la the community services card and based on the vax data they hold from the point of vaxxing, mailed straight out to the address they already collected at the same time.

    ….yay go ‘ministry of the disabled’ now conducting a pilot, preliminary scoping exercise on what colour it’s future notepaper might be.

  4. Lol, Martyn you can be sure if it’s a clusterfuck (and I see no reason why not, going by Labours track record on ‘delivery’) St Jacinda will be both shielded and indeed not be fronting anything to do with it. I’m sure a suitable scapegoat has already been penciled in!

  5. Dunno. Rational thought would say yes however Covid cultists don’t really care as long as they can get their groceries and spy on their neighbour’s kids having parties.

    The more we progress I believe the real issues that will sink this government will be ‘meat and potatoes’ issues such as housing, education and the economy etc when the mist clears in 6 months.

    • I would say the government would welcome this. Last year proved lockdowns are far from the economic death knell that some were screaming they were. If National is your answer for the housing problem, then that’s purely faith based as they did nothing but grin as house prices skyrocketed under Key. And the two major parties are cooperating on the major policy, so it’s only minor things they’ll be quibbling about. Education…..I couldn’t honestly tell you what either party’s policies are, so who knows. ‍♀️

  6. Might be time for a break from online posting and living for quite a few people-but the arseholes like Hosking/Soper & all the rest never sleep (booze & coke) so I guess we can’t go MIA either.

    The new gen voters will need to decide pretty quickly whether they are into rolling back the NZ neo liberal state-because not much will change until there is a movement supporting that.

  8. A timely query Martyn. Those who don’t qualify are going to be filthy that’s a start. Those who want a passport but can’t work out how to get one will eventually get there with a little help from family and friends. The maybe 600000 that don’t have a passport and are pissed off are significant but won’t break the bank I wouldn’t have thought. Those of us that need to travel overseas manage to get an ordinary passport and some aren’t that bright. Only the feral punters, the young anti vacc people that want to party, travel, concert and club with no mask or passport will be aggressive. There’s plenty out there. Fuck them.

  9. Oh, Lordy!
    It’s a fucking bale of straw at this point.

    The NZ policy/law around Covid-19 response is about 6-8 months behind the research. Had our advisors kept up to date with the latest research, we would have stopped this pointless vaccination program months ago, opened up, implemented the field tested early treatment regimen, and moved on with life.

    Instead I’m worried that NZ will lose political stability and about the hidden damage I already know is in the background.

    Stay safe out there fellow Lefties!

  10. Logon to “my health” with your NHI number, save the website to your home page and you have a passport.

      • David Parker would be an excellent choice and he could sell NZ DNA off to his neoliberal buddies at the same time while giving the go ahead for a multimillion PPP (marketed obviously as something else) no questions asked business opportunity to run it. Maybe Xi or Peter Thiel might do it cheap, functional in 2030 to tie in with the increasing Carbon emissions this government created? Of course Maori will have their own vaccination passports and independent body, Harry Tam could organise it.

  12. Megan Woods is the most disappointing of all the Labour team. Her entire role has been to hose down expectations of good stuff Labour promised.
    Wierdly the shops are opening in Auckland next week for everyone BUT when we get our vaccine passports in mid November they will only be open to the double vaxxed
    Tell me I’m wrong

  13. Yep watch the assaults on small hospitality business, bars cafes etc increase over the coming months as they are forced to implement these regulations !

  14. Bert and thousands of others know vaccine limits the adverse effect of covid and so keeps hospitals less busy . Do your research from reliable information get vaccinated and earn your passport then you can come out and play or work your choice .

  15. Maybe many of these people who don’t have driving licenses or passports don’t vote or organize either.

  16. Too funny reading all the rhetoric about how bad the government’s covid response is going. Anyone reading them would think we were doing terribly as a country. Interestingly, when you look at the facts they seem to tell a different story. How’s our hospitalisation comparing to others? How many deaths per capita from covid have we had? How many days of lockdown have we had compared to other countries? Hey, what’s our unemployment rate projected to be again?….

    Yeah, some countries are opening up quicker than us. So what if we open a few months after others? It’s not a race, and we don’t win a prize for coming first. What has a quicker opening cost other countries in terms of deaths, and what will it cost them medically from long covid in their population? We took time to evaluate the vaccines, and went for consistancy and simplicity in our response by opting to use pfizer for our whole population. Others grabbed whatever was going, and now have populations with pfizer, astrozenica, moderna etc. Now they have to monitor efficacy throughout their population across a range of vaccines. Do it once and do it properly, that is what NZ has done.

  17. Well you know we could have a national identity card which would have vaccinations info on it and could have a contact tracing system included.
    Oh but we can’t do that – that’s COMMUNISM.
    Da da da da da da da!
    Da da da da da da da!

  19. Fuck the vaccine APP (sold as passport or certificate). It’s pure govt surveillance sold to idiot kiwis under “health” reasons.

    It will track you. Every shop you visit. Every protest you attend. Every anti govt meeting you attend, every political event you attend you and who you go with will record you. If you don’t use the App you’ll be excluded, or fined, or arrested.

    Jacinda is unleashing this on us. It’s been stopped in the UK so far as citizens are aware of the dangers and power it gives the government and its agencies.

    By you trust Jacinda, you trust the government agencies. What could go wrong?

    Stop Labour 2023 – Save New Zealand’s freedom.
