You literally can’t enforce anything when it comes to Covid after this. For all the work this government has done they have just undone all of it by refusing to punish this person. Fines were handed out to businesses and people during the nation wide lockdown last year, why wasn’t it done here?

Its down to race, pure and simple. Because this family, or more specifically this dumb **** 21 year old are islanders they’re looked after and we’re told it’s not his fault. Different story for anyone else. It makes me sick.
Holy **** mate. Have you moved to Christchurch?

No it bloody well is not down to his race. Absolutely nothing to do with it. So you think the guy would be outed if he was European? Do you have an example that explains how you know this? I can't recall a different story for anyone else - this government is namby-pamby with everyone.

Look I agree completely with this point, but man you muddied it with that race thing.

Re your first post, no I would definitely not go down the name and shame route. There are some super pissed off people in this City, from business owners through to your working class 9-5 types. It would almost be dangerous at the moment doing that.

But he should’ve been arrested or at the very least heavily fined. People are obviously over Covid as it is but when something like this happens it’s just going to bring out anger from people especially if there is no consequence. Hearing things like ‘English isn’t their first language they didn’t know etc’ is just the biggest load of **** and is a slap in the face to everyone else

Yeah I've subsequently come down from my name and shame route position - have to admit that was emotive. I'm now in the fined (maybe heavily) camp. There must be repercussions for breaking the rules, the trust model and 'please don't do it again' is weak

Ah yes nothing like a few thousand bucks to teach you a valuable lesson when everyone in your social circle is going to publicly shame you for the rest of your life.

Labour government, everybody. 3 strikes and you're actually not out, you can have one more swing on us.

I'd keep the race out too. One guy that didn't take it seriously doesn't mean others of the same race don't. The way I see it we're fairly causal about covid in general despite whatever race.

To me it's quite clear if you get a test you have to self isolate. Not sure why there's any confusion whatsoever with this. Surely when they go for a test they get told what to do and what not to do you'd presume?
