What a disaster we have here in Hawkes Bay and the East Coast.  Once again, this government has proven itself inadequate and seems to be content to do basically nothing and even refused outside help from the Aussies.  Where is Hipkins now when we need him?  I can remember when Covid Chris and Red Cindy stood side by side in their daily quest to save us from the supposed “deadly virus”.   Daily Christopher informed us of the numbers of those sick or dead.  Albeit there are more sick and dead from the vaccine than from Covid itself.  Nevertheless, Chippy daily reared his head to give us a number of the affected or dead.  But now, when a true disaster hits, this fear monger is nowhere to be seen, along with hundreds of folks still missing.  We know the death toll is far above this governments recognition just by the bodies lying in the local churches.  But why are they trying to hide and cover this fact?  And why is this government turning their backs to this horrible disaster?  Meanwhile the gangs nightly loot and the media couldn't give a hoot.  But what did we really expect from a man and a government that has sold their soul and paid the media and gangs to play their role?  Lord in heaven, please send help to all these hurting people, and give us God fearing leaders.
