What a weird year for any government.听

An historic election win, but it all came crashing down in August when Delta arrived 鈥 Auckland has had more than 100 days in lockdown.听

So, with the traffic lights now in place, the borders gone 鈥撎齢ow does the government feel the year went? And what does 2022 have in store?

We had a talk with Sir Ian Taylor yesterday,听you'll likely know his thoughts on the MIQ process and such.听

Here's what he said about what happens when business tries to pitch听MIQ听or听Covid testing ideas to the Ministry of Health,听what do you say to this?

鈥淓verywhere you turn it鈥檚 the Ministry of Health that seems to block any discussion, and it is interesting that there are a number of business people I have听talked听to that have stepped up in support,听there are a number of people working with government who have stepped up in support, but all of them feel threatened to speak out. Now that鈥檚 not a democracy.鈥
