 I think the government has tried to do more of the same compared to what they did last time, except their rhetoric isn't matching their actions. They're stating when they stand on the podium of truth that they've adjusted their strategy to better deal with Delta, but the strategy is exactly the same. It's more lockdowns, tighter lockdowns, and Delta's escaped all of their MIQ border protections, and they haven't got a handle on it at all, and the government seems to think that they can defy the evidence of the rest of the world that are dealing with Delta. They think that vaccinations are the solution. Well, if that was the case, then Israel wouldn't be dealing with the Delta surge, India wouldn't be dealing with the Delta surge, and the UK wouldn't be dealing with the Delta surge. And the other thing too is the government continues to ignore the evidence, the mounting evidence that Ivermectin works as a prophylaxis against COVID. So I think that we're starting to see now the results of that. The Prime Minister isn't turning up every day, she's now sending in other people to do the stand-ups. That suggests to me that they've had focus groups tell them that they're perhaps not as popular as they thought they were. Well, I've always said that what we have is not a pandemic, we've got a case-demic, and we've got, you know, every country around the world has fallen into this trap where they announce cases, but especially with the Delta variant, the vast majority of cases either don't know that they've got the COVID, you know, they need a test to find out that they've got it. So it can't be that bad. And there's also precious few people ending up in hospital, unlike the previous variants. So I think Scott Morrison was 100% correct. We need to stop talking about cases. It's unnecessarily alarming people. And we should actually just deal with the people that need hospital care. And at the moment, we've got something like 150 people with COVID in New Zealand and barely eight of them are in hospital and none are in ICU. So that tells us that this is not as dangerous as has been portrayed, that it's not deadly and that, in fact, it's highly survivable, and that perhaps we need to look at opening up our economy in a far better way to make it more manageable. That's a very good point. We've had all of these people go through MIQ. Plenty of them have been diagnosed as having Delta. None of them have needed hospital level treatment. The first person who really needed hospital level treatment was the Fiji and UN worker who flew in here. And then just a few days later, we get an outbreak of Delta. So it doesn't take a rocket sign just to start working out where a few of these weak links are. But the reality is, is we've got hundreds of cases now in New Zealand, only eight people in hospital and of those none are in ICU. So it's not as bad as has been made out and, you know, the government and Jacinda Ardern in particular are just scaring, scaring people unnecessarily. I think nationals got the same problem they had when Simon Bridges led them and we ended up in lockdown. And the government has, you know, absolutely used this yet again, shamelessly, so that they can dominate the airwaves. There is a slight difference now is that the population isn't, I don't believe is actually as compliant as they would like to believe they are. In the first lockdown, there was hardly anybody driving around. It doesn't, you can you can go around Auckland and there's hundreds of people driving around. So it's a lot less strict. People are not adhering to the rules. And I think people are just sick to death of hearing about it and are turning off and consequently they're not listening to the to the Prime Minister. That said, I think national needs to start talking directly to people via Facebook or via Twitter or using the BFD, for example, to talk directly to its supporters so that they can get the messages out there, the key messages that the government's border MIQ policies have failed, that their lockdown policies are failing, that they're not going to eliminate the virus, that we actually do need to start learning to live with it. And I think those are key messages that people will start saying, hallelujah, we've got an opposition here that that we can listen to and would make a good government. I believe ACT are making a huge mistake. David Seymour has been out traveling around the country talking about freedom of speech, freedom of association, all of these sorts of things. He's called himself a classical liberal. And yet he's vociferously supporting the use of the government snitch app. He wants compulsion with vaccines. He wants compulsion with using the government snitch app. These are in stark contrast to his libertarian and liberal credentials. And I think it's causing some dissonance amongst the supporters that are saying, well, hang on a second, I thought you believed in freedom. It turns out that he's actually a closet fascist underneath. I believe that ACT is being dishonest with voters. They were dishonest with firearms owners before the election. They went and got a couple of people to signal that they were supporting firearms owners in personal discussions that I've had with David Seymour. He just treats shooters and firearms owners with complete disdain. He won't raise anything about it. He thinks that as an issue has gone and disappeared, and he's just shamelessly hoovered up that support. I think he is being dishonest and trying to con center right voters into thinking that he's got the answers. And yes, I do believe that when push came to shove, if he could form a coalition with Labour, then he would do it. And then all of those people who voted ACT because they want to have a center right government will end up with a Labour-led government, with David Seymour acting as a nodding dog to their policies of compulsion and forced vaccination. Yeah, they'll have a small impact, and that will be to take votes off the center right that will be wasted and whatever votes they get will largely be split 50-50 between Labour and the National Party. New Conservatives are frankly discredited. They're largely a bunch of single-issue-type people that are really focused on binding citizen-initiated referenda. But they're the sound of one-hand clapping, but they do have an effect because a 4% vote for New Conservative, then that gets split between the two largest parties. And it could be the difference between forming a government and not forming a government. I get asked this question a lot. They say, what will it do to bring down this government? And the answer is nothing. We've got an MMP environment where the Prime Minister goes to the Governor-General and says that she has the confidence of the House. They have a majority outright. The voters of New Zealand stupidly gave them an outright majority. There's literally nothing that will bring down this government short of a schism within the Labour Party. And turkeys don't vote for early Christmases. So the chances of there being an early election, the chances of there being something that's going to happen that's going to bring down this government are very, very remote. Even if a couple of Cabinet Ministers get caught in the back of a sheep or something like that, they're never, ever going to bring down the government. They'll be sacked, they'll be replaced, and the government will sail on. And the only thing that's going to eventually bring it to an end will probably be Jacinda Ardern deciding this is all getting too hard. I don't think I can win, so I'm going to bail out now.
