Bloody idiots!

[nzoomed]

Never underestimate the incompetency of government employees in positions of resposibility. That has been compounded by the less than honest behaviour of two expat Kiwis on this occasion by the looks of things.

.........and lack of testing.  Why people aren't tested when they arrive only the COL know.  Young man I know wasn't tested until his 12th day in quarantine and they turned up while he was outside having a smoke talking to new arrivals who joined him for a smoke.  Perhaps the Army will be more vigilant.

This blew me away too, it appears testing was not done at all to begin with, just 14 days and then you can go home.

Also blows me away that people were taking poor Bloomfield to court to get released from quarantine for "compassionate" leave because it was too "strict"

IMHO, its not quarantine if you are allowed "out"
