A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

Is anyone else as fed up as I am with National Party negativity? All this fuss about some mistakes made over Kiwis returning home and not always being as carefully checked as they should be. People make mistakes — get over it!

National couldn't criticise the Government during the Covid-19 lockdown because it was so obvious they were doing a superb job in controlling the situation. The whole world knew that.

Now it's all a case of let's tear down Dr Bloomfield, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health.

Are we meant to believe that National would just naturally have done it all better?

I doubt it very much and am sick and tired of their whinging. If they keep this up until the elections they will be beaten even more thoroughly, and a good thing too.
