Re: replies to Vernon & myself, I like your normally considered remarks and will continue to read, but there are times when even the best of us inadvertently shoot ourselves in the walking things. Though merely having what I hope is a 'commonsense education' I deemed it only fair to be of help when even "scientific education" can slip a little .. as is well known.  Maybe a reread of the  "Covid Updates" post (from the bottom up) could help perspective a little. Not being a jibe at our leader at all (probably misrepresented incorrectly by advisors) .. again ? .. hmmm.  Now just to clear up my initial comment which you seem to take abeyance with, it was not (though possibly could/should?. have been,non ?) a personal attack, merely an old joke that began being used on car salesmen .. (oops, and women), realtors, insurance salespeople, lawyers, etc.  Oops again … AND politicians,of course .. no matter their ilk, haha !  Please don't take this as an apology mate, just .. ah .. commonsense, and in case you didn't know the answer :-- "their lips move "  .. cheers …. but remember, " I may not agree, but I will defend ……. etc,etc

Christchurch International Airport is not doing daily Covid-19 saliva tests for its border staff – unlike Auckland Airport, which is privately funding a saliva testing pilot.

Airport boss Malcolm Johns said it was not a financial issue, but it was unnecessary as almost all international travellers were arriving via Auckland. The bigger risk in Christchurch was at managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facilities.

Do you think saliva testing should be offered to Christchurch border staff?

Bull Rush, and rounders, the cricket stump with a piece of bike tube rubber holding the tennis ball so as those not too proficient with a bat had a good opportunity to take a swing and run and hope for a home run. The wednesday bus trip to the Normal school for cooking and woodwork lessons (well there was segregation but not as we now NO it.)
And when we got home we could use the milk bottle tops to make pom poms and provide our own entertainment. Ah yes I remember them well.
