I can t recall anything this Government has done that s right, but Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern s stance on Australian deportees is correct. If children go to Australia with parents on their passport or a child s passport (up to 16) and are raised, educated and permanently reside in Australia, then Australia must keep them.

The Government s management of Covid is maturing.
At the highest level, the Prime Minister s response to this week s community cases was her boldest and most adept yet. When advised on Sunday that there was no clear line of transmission and therefore that this was not just another Northland-type case, there was none of the dithering of a year ago or even the mild hesitancy of August.
Instead, Jacinda Ardern gave full meaning to her hard and early doctrine that, until now, hasn t quite been true to brand.

Dozens of people have spent a cold and rainy Auckland day breaching the latest Covid-19 restrictions outside Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern s Mt Albert electorate office.
The group, appearing to protest a range of topics from the latest restrictions to vaccination efforts and being silenced in media reporting, were there for several hours despite the fact that Ardern spent Monday in Wellington.
The protests came as Auckland entered day one of alert level 3 restrictions, and the rest of New Zealand alert level 2, after three cases of the highly-transmissible UK variant of Covid-19 were found in a south Auckland family.
