The Taliban are again forcing Women and girls not to go to school, not to leave their homes, not to work, not to have fun or laugh or dance or go to restaurants and not to go outside without wearing a face covering!
Holy shit that's exactly the same as what the Government is demanding of Women and Girls in NSW! But in Afghanistan blokes are allowed to own AK47's and walk freely in the streets!! Does anyone know what the official immigration requirements are for legal citizenship in Afghanistan?

And specify if you want the AK or the M16 with Acog.

There is no plan B - that's the problem !! To be fair, lock-downs work - you might not like them - but they do work. Its just NSW has done a shit job. Jacinda locking down all of NZ in the face of a single (now 8 cases) of delta yesterday is the way to do it - I cannot stand her or her brand of government - but to her credit she follows public health advice. The only way NZ will avoid a NSW is by doing this, and the public seem willing to tolerate it to avoid the NSW shit show. With the pissing round NSW has done its not surprising its failing and not surprising that other states are getting really pissed with NSW !! Yip NSW leadership getting a lot of blame. NZ has learnt from the NSW disaster. I am looking closely at Victoria, if they are able to contain the virus - they also did snap emergency panic lockdown after very few cases:: early days but their containment also seems to be failing. Also interesting to see how NZ goes with containment. NZ might have a better chance...

I think NZ is going to struggle. A high school teacher at a relatively impoverished high school with lots of kids living in poverty - at work for 3 days while symptomatic......... The one week lockdown is going to go to min 4 weeks I think - that's Auckland. The rest of the country will depend on if any cases spring up outside Auckland - that will be the real kicker? If they do then that's NZ in lockdown for weeks and the economy potentially down the drain and I think that's the point the government will start losing the population. Like in NSW no investment has gone into the hospitals, so hence no Plan B in NZ either - lockdown or perish !!

So mate effectively if we don't get on top of this in NSW what are we looking at here a failed state? Somalia, Yemen, Syria type thing?

Ha. Failed state in the UK sense !! They have lost control - I don't see any way this ends well. I wouldn't want to be working for NSW Health. It is pretty shit by all accounts. But it wont collapse the state IMO NZ's problem is its only 75% as wealthy as Australia - that will be the challenge - less wealth and a socialist government - what could go wrong !!
