Poll: How do you feel about John Key’s comments on the Covid-19 response?
Hi neighbours,
Sir John Key’s recent media blitz was full of suggestions for how the Covid-19 response could have been done better. Some have been found to be false (such as his claim we could have paid Pfizer for preferential supply), and some seem to have lit a fire under the Government to get things moving (such as the suggestion of home quarantining).
How do you feel about Key’s contribution?
-
29.7% It was constructive and I support his points
-
15.1% It lit a fire under the Government and extracted much needed clarity
-
18% It was armchair commentary and he didn’t know what he was talking about
-
37.2% It was a struggling National’s attempt to regain some popularity
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
-
76.4% Yes
-
22.3% No
-
1.4% Other - I'll share below
