I was staggered to read across the top of the Herald’s website on Friday,

“Epsom brothel murder. Manager who bashed man to death with wooden pole jailed.”

Former BNZ Economist Tony Alexander, now an independent consultant, was widely quoted on the weekend saying, “My view is when the borders open a generation of young Kiwis will depart our shores for Australia for the higher wages on offer and lower cost of living, and to embrace some freedom after two years being locked up.”

On Sunday Sky News ran a ridiculous item along the bottom of their Australian news service, specifically,

“Western Australia to strengthen the border with Queensland.”

Garrick is absolutely spot-on with this effort. The Nats, hand in hand with ACT and NZ FIRST will coast in to office by default in the next election.
