He got taken to court and lost, and is now reviewing the cases with something that has a pulse, not an algorithm."
Jacinda Ardern.

"This is her worst week of the crisis, and by some margin. And it came about by hitching her wagon to the Bloomfield express.
"For a leader coated in the veneer of humanity, what we heard this week from those families, a policy she endorsed, exposed the venal political side of her operation."

"It's worked, and yet a lot tried to pull it down this week.
Were there other ways? Probably. Were they as clean and efficient? I doubt it."
