No doubt you've heard the important aspects of the news today unless you're like those twits who only get their news from Facebook, Twitter and other social media but here are a couple of snippets to keep you going.
ANDY HADEN TAKES HIS LAST DIVE OUT OF ..... LIFE.
Sixty nine is a number that has connotations but in life it's really quite young to die. He was controversial but was a damned good rugby player and All Black and many of the young players today who are (have been) earning the big bucks can thank Andy and his compatriots from the 1970's for that.
THE GOVERNMENT RULES TO CHARGE (SOME) NEW ZEALAND RETURNEES FOR ACCOMMODATION DURING THE MANDATORY TWO WEEK LOCK-DOWN PERIOD IN HOTELS.
Yes, personally I wouldn't have had so many exceptions built into this but am pleased that this is happening. It might make people think twice about taking that holiday away from New Zealand and, for returnees and other overseas people who were thinking about a nice safe holiday they have to be prepared to stump up some extra holiday money. Yes it could be seen as vote catching for those ex-pats who can and will vote but no, I don't favour what Judith The Hun proposed and certainly not what the disloyal and offensive Winston Peter's has said. I guess that this is his final nail in the coffin. With luck and of course good management, Labour's high polling will continue through the elections and NZ First will be kicked to touch (continuation of a rugby theme there) at long last.

Yep, I agree.
Though it will be harder to see my son. 😣
No, not harder, just more expensive.
Anyway, I did preface the argument with "Yes, personally".
I do personally think though that if people could prove somehow that they are responsible people, then the hotel quarantine could be bypassed and family members could 'self isolate' at home with their families.
The problem is though that this didn't work in UK and other countries and a big part of why NZ did so well was enforced isolation.
