No not at all, I think that New Zealand have a competent Government and a leader who actually gives a shit about her people whereas the Covid response here has been a disastrous mix of incompetence and fraud. The bit I agree with is that it's easier to control the amount of people in and out of New Zealand because we're not only a lot closer to our neighbours but also a far busier international hub
