Frustration in New Zealand as lockdown hits employment

Pressure is building on New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to ease the nation's successful lockdown measures.

On South Island's rugged West Coast, it's been 28 days since a new case, and local mayor Tania Gibson said frustration was growing.With very few access points to the region, Gibson believes the virus could be kept out."Our region had the first death from coronavirus in New Zealand which shocked our community to the core ... we've had low case numbers since and now we're at zero.In Gisborne, the gateway to the Tairawhiti region, the story is similar.

"We can't underestimate the health impacts that unemployment has on people, both physically and on their mental health.Ardern has pledged to review the lockdown on Monday May 11, and until then can expect a thunder of protest from those eager to reopen businesses.New Zealand's lockdown is at level three, which allows many industries - construction, forestry and education among them - to return to operations alongside 'essential' industries.

She might have overcooked the restrictions there. Word on the street (sorry loungerooms) is folks think she over reacted.

The SMH have turned into bullshit rags with Costello pulling the strings

“Pressure.” Can’t have a country handle a pandemic too successfully now, can we? 🤦🏼‍♂️

She is showing strong leadership and listening to her minister's and Chief Medical Officer's

It is a disappointing phenomenon that ever since Trump started stupidly questioning health measures & encouraging public protest, that self interested dissent is gaining traction. People need to hold fast.

Bullshit it is. Currently the mood of the country is rising anger & disbelief at the selfish arse holes who are breaking the level 3 lockdown rules and vehement outrage at the National (opposition) MPs supporting false rumours of rising suicide rates which mentalhealthnz have

Should the warrior's landed in aussie and there was no social distancing

Let’s take a wild guess who their source(s) are for this... Crybaby National supporters!

Really What pressure

Pressure by who? Australia’s media?

Pressure by whom? The same nasty little trolls pushing that barrow here in Oz?

But that will take the spotlight of me... please not Jacinda “Hey look at me” Ardern

What from the SMH give me a break !

'Incredible outcome': Just five new coronavirus cases in NSW despite near-record testing - ABC NewsHealth authorities in NSW carried out more than 8,800 tests yesterday, and they're delighted that only five came back positive. It really is an incredible outcome given that Brad Hazzard allowed the Ruby Princess to dock in Sydney. Good to see BradHazzard and NSWHealth being so forthright about the NZWarriors flying in to NSW .. Maybe the warriors should have just come in by boat , he and NSW Health seem to be far more relaxed when you turn up that way ..
