NZ's last 3 years to here ...
Let's break it down ...

Late 2017 a new 'socialist' PM arrives. Early 2019 came the 'event.'
The young fem quickly becomes the international Media 'poster child' of Marxist multicultural propaganda with her image projected onto buildings etc. ... 2
2/ Most Kiwi's fears were allayed and chests swelled with pride as they basked in the shared glory.

Others... disturbed by the impossibly well-planned-in-advance reaction to the 'event' and also the scramble to censor what the rest of the world was seeing, smelled a rat......
3/ Less than a year later we have 'event' No.2, the Covid 'pandemic.' Once again, pre-ordained responses, legislation etc., complete with an entire new set of jargon, bursts out of the Beehive.......
4/ Again the international Media hails New Zealand's success through it's "go hard go early' policy, despite being surrounded by the largest natural moat in the world. Over 100 days of Covid-free gets a standing ovation, the NZ Govt led by said 'poster-child' can do no wrong..
5/ But there was always going to be a 2nd wave ... we were told it was "inevitable" .. plans for it leaked as far back as March. Here's where life gets tricky ...

How do you maintain the larger-than-life, Queen of Heaven can-do-no-wrong "poster-child" international status ....
6/ .....while introducing what I believe was planned to be a far more problematic 2nd wave? How do you avoid the accusations of failure following such hallowed success?

A = very carefully, with a lot of spin, and full Media compliance....
7/ In steps Donald Trump .. who puts the global spotlight on NZ's new outbreak. (This is the down side of the Media's obsession with every word he utters). He uses words like "surge" and "big outbreak" which might be an exaggeration to some ....
8/ ....but it's hard to play that card when you're deploying 100's of Military personnel up and down the country. Nevertheless there's vehement insistence that he's totally wrong! There's no "surge" or "big outbreak" ... we still have it fully under control thank you.....
9/ You see the positioning? They can't have it both ways - and now the world is watching. Your move poster-child ....

*6 new cases today (because 20 would be a "surge")
