The government made much ado about the traffic light system and its introduction yet the breakdown of each light suggest that we should be at green.
Also the announcement this week of the Omicron "plan" due to be released if 1 or 2 weeks time seems to suggest there is no plan as such.  If there was why wouldn't you release it now?  Why the wait?

Getting RATS indeed - the kind that lurk in the beehive

because they are probably well aware that there is a certain class of individual that is going to pick through the plan with a fine tooth comb and 'critique' every perceived failing - so I imagine they feel that they need it to be just right before release...

Read the breakdown of each of the lights.  The explosion of cases never occured when the Auckland border opened.  The present situation fits green not orange.

I think they are our pigeons, these occasional visitors. They fly in, perch briefly, squirt, and depart.
Rock rats, one of my American friends calls them.

Yeah, nah.
Green is sporadic imported cases and limited community transmission. Neither of which is the case at the moment, so Orange is the place to be.
Not sure how life will be that much different under Green given how lax most businesses have been of late, but at least it's something for certain people to moan about.

The colour system was set before Omicron came along. Now it's knocking at the door and we need to hold it back for as long as possible. While people still want to gather in groups, we need to keep control and orange is perfectly reasonable at the moment. It was interesting to see the news item about the streets of one of the Australian cities being empty even though there is no lockdown order. The people have got it figured out - stay home and keep safe. If only our antis could understand that the rules are just to maintain consistency and guide those that can't figure it out for themselves, as well as providing a legal basis to enable people to do it.

He ("guy" = assumption) comes over as the sort of man whose favourite social gatherings are barbecues that culminate in a neighbour's car being set on fire.

Perhaps you could clarify using the traffic light requirements why you feel that green is the appropriate level we should be on, as against the current orange.
Based on the information here, I can't see how @yousnoozeyoulose is 'completely wrong'
