left wing ideology is a luxury. It's something you're free to engage in if you have very little to worry about.

I'm no expert but from what little I do know about the region I get the feeling that Australia absorbs 90% of the harsh realities in the world that would have otherwise impacted NZ. Even with covid they're massively insulated by Australia since the vast majority people and goods comes through Australia.

Hold up everyone. Just so we're clear. Those 'quarantine camps' are 5 star hotels and not one person in the country has a problem with it. They are hardly trucking the infected off somewhere random.

It's still forced imprisonment you commie fuck. Only sheep would go willingly.

Wait, NZ. Makes sense now.

That's the sales pitch to get you to board the train ;) Once the numbers start piling up, the doors get welded shut.

I find that incredibly hard to believe. Maybe nobody pipes up because you "crown prosecution" jurisdictions love locking people up for saying the wrong thing on Twitter or Facebook.

The reality is they made a family and some of their contacts go and isolate in a managed facility (a 5 star hotel) that is also used for quarantining new arrivals from overseas.

Without saying so directly, it's likely they did this because they didn't completely trust the family to be "vigilant" enough with self isolating at home. I strongly suspect the government made a call based on socioeconomic and other factors in relation to this family.

Lol. I am sure these degenerates will advocate that people work from "home" in their 5-star concentration camp.
