PM Should Answer Europe Question
“Jacinda Ardern has avoided a question from ACT in
Parliament about whether she plans to travel to Europe in
the coming weeks and New Zealanders deserve an answer,”
says ACT Leader David
Seymour.
“Families have been cruelly
separated for up to two years, children have missed the
funerals of their parents and fathers have missed the births
of their babies thanks to the MIQ Hunger
Games.
“Now it appears MIQ rules are
about to be conveniently changed to be shorter or allow for
home isolation, just as the Prime Minister is seeking to go
overseas.
“The Prime Minister could
have denied that she has plans to go to Europe, instead she
insisted that MIQ rules are not being changed for any one
person.
“As Shakespeare would say,
that’s protesting too much,
methinks.'
“Aucklanders have been in lockdown for 70 days. They feel abandoned by their Prime Minister – if Jacinda Ardern opts for a trip to Europe before she returns to Auckland it would be an almighty slap in the face for those who have done it so tough over the past two months.”
