A follow-up on yesterday’s post: With New Zealand now under lockdown, the New Zealand Parliament cannot meet for the next four-plus weeks. So, the Parliament, which has a Labour-led majority, is setting up a special select committee to follow and examine the government’s performance while Parliament cannot meet. It is expected the committee will meet by video conference three times a week. The committee will be chaired by – the leader of the opposition National Party. With a national election scheduled for September. A lucky country, indeed.
