New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had refused to fire minister who personally breached lockdown rules earlier in year

New Zealand Health Minister David Clark announces his resignation at a press conference at parliament in Wellington, New Zealand Thursday, July 2, 2020.New Zealand’s embattled Health Minister resigned on Thursday after security slip-ups at quarantine facilities where the coronavirus was detected just days after officials declared it had been eliminated from the country.

“It has become increasingly clear to me that my continuation in the role is distracting from the government’s overall response to COVID-19 and the global pandemic,” Clark said at a news conference in Wellington.Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who had earlier refused calls to sack Clark, citing his critical role in the country’s response to the pandemic, said she agreed with his decision.

Ardern had declared in early June that New Zealand had eliminated coronavirus, although she warned there would almost certainly be new cases, as she lifted social distancing restrictions.

PattyHajdu FYI

Seriously. Why the heck did New Zealand even think for a moment they eliminated Covid? Sounds like hubris to me. “Pride goes before a fall.” But in this case it’s more like a mere stumble.

PattyHajdu JustinTrudeau what responsible politicians do when they have erred. LIEberals are enamoured with themselves to actually look in the mirror & face judgement day. Hajdu, you, Tam & Trudeau botched Covid1. We wont take a chance on 2.0. How do you live with 8,000 dead?

A student who got 99.8% marks commits suicide for not achieving a perfect 100.

But wait, so, he didn’t go to a doctor’s house and berate him in his own driveway while simultaneously decimating and privatizing the health care system shandro jkenney Maybe we should see if we can get him for Alberta? It would be a TREMENDOUS upgrade.
