As a former resident and now visitor to CHCH, Brook Sabin has nailed it. Private enterprise has created some cool features. But bare land, derelict buildings and a wrecked Cathedral in the Square make the city depressingly soulless. #losingpatience

Unbelievable that Police don’t know how many people are left on Whakaari/White Island tonight. Operators should know the exact number on their tours, then counted when survivors reach shore. Massive system breakdown.

Agree completely. We live in country with many volcanoes, and you would think the military has a response plan with all of that.

Did Mike Bush say several hundred police officers are self-isolating as a result of the second Police COVID-19 case? Why so many??

Some astonishing developments tonignt:

🤔

MoH statement: “limited physical contact” occurred after Covid-19 pair got lost. If this turns out to be a kiss and cuddle, as is increasingly being claimed, it’s a flagrant attempt to bend the truth to protect its own response.

You work in news, you puffed up little....

Victoria’s Premier has asked AU PM to divert all international flights to other states for the next two weeks after quarantine lapses. Not sure what that will mean for Air New Zealand yet. But potentially Kiwis urgently needing to travel home could be trapped for the next fortnight.

Great news for a Pacific travel bubble. AKL Airport is essentially creating a Covid-19 terminal so travellers from Covid countries will be processed seperately with a new Customs and biosecurity area. Rest of the terminal a safe zone. Govt was concerned about mixing passengers.

This new Rydges case is significant; it’s a new border incursion with different RNA to the current cluster. With the freight theory discounted by Dr Bloomfield, we’re dealing with two seperate border failures in a matter of weeks.
