A cowardly way to close the border

The Government has decided to effectively close the border and not give overseas Kiwis any chance of coming back to NZ indefinitely, and rather than have the PM or a Minister announce this at a press conference where media could ask questions, they sneak it out at 8 pm at night via tweet from a departmental account.

It’s cowardly and the opposite of accountability.

It also suggests that the Government thinks it can keep Omicron out of the community. They should read the fable of King Canute.
