#Covid19NZ #nomoaIt's actually devastating the effect the system had on families and people's mental health the lack of sympathy and empathy from across the board was chilling. I felt the same way until my eyes were opened by the likes of @SarahMMcKay @LaraLandX @martinnewell

- The Emergency Allocation was a complete joke the criteria was far too narrow and strict. The death of a parent/grandparent/child should automatically count so should have coming in to say goodbye to a dying relative.

- The Lottery was perhaps one of the most ill thought out things during the pandemic. Supply needed to keep up with demand and entry into the country should have been via need rather than via luck.

I have some thoughts re @GroundedKiwis court win today.
- Quarantine was still necessary BUT it needed to be in a fair and orderly way where people had the chance to get into the country when they wanted to not just needed to.
