To be fair one can vote multiple times / and while I have Adern Derangement Syndrome- I’m sure some have the opposite and are sitting there hitting the excellent button…

I do not believe for a millisecond she got 46% either Excellent or Great in Part…

She’s the wound that still bleeds for me and many others.

Until there is some kind of justice- I don’t think this country can heal from those years - and we are lurching currently from one wounding to another…the division she fostered has engulfed this sweet little island nation…

Although I was fortunate not to suffer a horror event during the pandemic - like being held in MIQ while the family member I had come back to visit died - I still think the worst thing - of many, many bad things - that she did, was to lock New Zealanders out of their own country. This effectively made them stateless, and no government is ever EVER supposed to do that to their own citizens. This happened to Charlotte Bellis, who blew the whistle on the terrible state of our country (as she was a journalist with a few good contacts) but obviously happened to a lot of other Kiwis too. That Bellis had to go and beg the Taliban to take her in Afghanistan spoke volumes about our 'kind' society - and Chris Hipkins' fingers were all over that, until he was badly caught out by Bellis's ability to control the narrative. That changed everything. How long would the Stasi controls have lasted without her exposing the awful truth? We will never know.

I voted "Awful".
