I never tweet anything but this needs to be shared again as Jacinda Ardern is too arrogant to admit rollout is the 2nd worse in OECD. Both Australia & NZ are equally bad & have failed their migrant communities that just want to see their family again. % of fully vaccinated below.

5 days to go! But you can experience census day right now. You can complete your census forms tonight, if you know who’ll be at home on census night. Just answer as if it was Tuesday 7 March already.

Si è fatta fare la cartolina con la sua faccia, l’ha piazzata sui social e le ha dedicato il messaggino passivo aggressivo dicendole che lei governerà a lungo, “spero che tu possa vedere il giorno in cui non sarò più premier”. Fare più schifo di così era difficile.
