Changes

Ardern came to power quickly and but not without controversy.  During the 2017 New Zealand election the Labour Party had elected Andrew Little to run as the leader and potential Prime Minister; however, Little, who was a former labor union boss, suffered in that he had very little charisma, was not eloquent and had difficulty sloughing off the "union boss" public perception.  A few weeks before the election, with Labour tanking in the polls, Little suddenly stepped down and Ardern was promoted to leader.  While Ardern had little executive experience, she was young, attractive and well-spoken which contrasted against the dour Little and older opposition leader, Bill English.  The polls swung towards Labour but not far enough to guarantee an outright victory.  Due to her ties with Communist [[China]], Ardern was the only leader of the Five Eyes countries to not condemn the Hong Kong crackdown.<ref>[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9523165/Chinas-communist-regime-celebrates-Jacinda-Ardens-drift-away-Five-Eyes.html China's communist regime celebrates Jacinda Ardern's attempts to drift away from Five Eyes intelligence network - as Beijing heaps praise on the 'cooperative' New Zealand leader]</ref>

Adren approved the reopening of an establishment where up to 25 people can engage in sexual activity simultaneously despite some of the planet's most [[authoritarian]] and oppressive [[CCP flu]] lockdown orders.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/health/2021/12/14/leftist-new-zealand-leader-vaccinated-can-engage-tinder-liaisons-up-25-people/</ref>

On March 19 2020 Ardern announced the creation of the COVID-19 alert level system which consisted of four alert levels ranging from level 1 with the least restrictions to level 4 with the most restrictions with New Zealand being placed into alert level 2.<ref>https://covid19.govt.nz/prepare-and-stay-safe/iwi-and-communities/covid-downlow/alert-levels-and-what-you-have-to-do/</ref> Only a few days later on March 23, Ardern rapidly moved the country into alert level 4 for over a month in an attempt to "eliminate" the virus.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhLCMHj-GjI</ref> This attempt to "eliminate" the virus was initially successful because after reducing restrictions going down to alert level 3 on April 27, alert level 2 on May 11 and finally alert level 1 on June 8, the country (with a population of 5,000,000 as of 2019<ref>https://www.stats.govt.nz/indicators/population-of-nz</ref>) had only 1504 reported cases and 27 deaths.<ref>https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/new-zealand/</ref> However, after a year of "zero COVID" on August 18 2021 New Zealand rapidly moved from alert level 1 up to alert level 4 when one man in Auckland, New Zealand's capital city<ref>https://teara.govt.nz/en/zoomify/34159/auckland-new-zealands-second-capital-1842</ref>, got tested positive for COVID-19.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/news/snap-national-lockdown-in-new-zealand-over-single-virus-case/</ref> This person was infected with the Delta variant of COVID-19 which resulted in New Zealand abandoning its elimination strategy after failing to eradicate the virus from the community because of Delta's increased transmissibility.

 

This wave of COVID-19 peaked at around 250 cases<ref>https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/new-zealand/</ref> in mid-December to then gradually decrease due to the population building up natural immunity<ref>https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL2109/S00096/covid-immunity-calculus.htm</ref>. The decline of the Delta wave of COVID-19 did not result in COVID-19 being eradicated from the community as what public health "experts" of the country hoped for because of the new wave of the Omicron variant of COVID-19. The Omicron wave started in mid-February of 2022 and to this date has resulted in hundreds of thousands of people being infected with it<ref>https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2022/03/coronavirus-new-zealand-covid-death-toll-spikes-to-105-as-people-losing-years-of-a-potential-healthy-life.html</ref>.
