SYDNEY - New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Tuesday she had rejected her health minister’s offer to resign for breaching nationwide lockdown rules as doing so would jeopardise plans to slow the spread of the new coronavirus.
Health Minister David Clark drove his family to the beach in the early stages of the lockdown, flouting social distancing rules, the prime minister said. Instead, Ardern said she had demoted Clark to the bottom of cabinet rankings and stripped him of his role as associate finance minister.Clark said in a statement that he had been “an idiot, and I understand why people will be angry with me”.
On Tuesday, it also extended for a second time the state of national emergency for a further seven days.
Again Ms Ardern demonstrates leadership. All we have is a bunch of greedy, mendacious incompetents who are in power. They wouldn’t know leadership if it bit them on their budget surplus
He's lucky he still has a job.... 🙄
I was certain that was Dave Grohl
Must be nice to have a functioning government. Wish I knew what that felt like
Not kool dude
That's just dumb
Somewhere... Out there... Is a Quantum Universe where our world didn't turn the economy off. Sweden's economy collapsed there.
