New Zealand: Court Says Leftist Jacinda Ardern’s Coronavirus Border Closures Were Illegal

Great decision but what effect will it have on those who enforced the border closure?

Jacinda Ardern? Is that the “woman” who was born with a penis? Asking for a friend.

No, she’s a woman and gave birth to a daughter.

Plenty of other reasons to dislike her, however...

all these border closures were pointless at the point community spread became the primary cause of transmission. that is to say within 2 months of the chicom exposure.

and what good is citizenship if you can’t return to your home country? it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out a way to quarantine arrivals for 2 weeks (as was done in Singapore and Japan) rather then just lock the door.
