Well, the Jacinda PR machine assures New Zealanders that 'we', the so-called family of five million, are actually ahead of schedule . . . and that everything is going better than planned. That's the spin, and it's quite effective.
Also, the Jacinda-show announced that other countries who needed it more were given preference by the government, a type of NZ aroha (love and kindness) without detailing that NZ had ordered their vaccine late and didn't get in the 'queue' etc etc etc . . . culminating in only now deciding that those 12+ can get vaccinated . . . a knee-jerk reaction to Delta arriving here.
Basically the government denies not having enough vaccines and states that the plan is being not only met but beaten . . . 20% of Kiwis are fully vaccinated . . . which in reality means that 20% of eligible Kiwis are fully vaccinated. Key word here is 'eligible'.
Some things are out of the government's control, like certain population groups having single digit vaccinations despite having millions spent on them. My wife works with/for an NGO/Health Department and is just frustrated at the lack of support from community leaders and their constant whining and excuses.
All in all I do believe the situation will be brought under control, but it would be good if the government is open and honest about the situation.
I've been a Labor/left of centre voter most of my voting life but this lot . . . one despairs
