    Ashley Blomfield to me has certainly stepped up and is making the health minister look very average indeed.

    Shane Jones calling his medial advisors boffins is very sad and weak, pathetic would be how I feel about Jones the king of boffins.

    Maybe because he's a real medical doctor and not a PhD in Theology? Seems better suited as Health Minister methinks.

    Hope you come good soon mate.

    Kind of puts some of the pissing and whinging about not being able to hunt into context.

    Good luck.

    To me it seems like the politicking has started for the election...........Easy to blame the medical boffins and distance yourself from the hunting ban, thus giving yourself the ability to say later, I tried to help you guys but it wasnt my decision.

    Just my view.

    I like many on here am seeing some disconnect and uneven viewing of what is acceptable risk. I certainly think mountain biking is far more hazardous. I guess the most important thing to consider is not just the risk but of the ease of finding and getting to someone if there is an accident. That is the key. So stuff that happens on tracks and in easily accessed places is far better for rescue services. That is really the issue. How long others are tied up for, not whether it is likely or not likely to happen. For hunting it might be that:

    - Nothing further than half an hours drive away from home
    - Dont go anywhere you have to touch something that others you don't know about might have touched
    - Nothing longer than day trips
    - If on PCL and off track then only people with In Reaches so you can be found quickly no matter what happens
    - Only go alone or with people from your immediate level 4 bubble

    So you could go for a hunt on private land and exercise good safety and hygiene. Who here if rabbit hunting was the only option would say no to it? So some living close to private deer hunting would be better off but I for one would not want some disadvantaged just because I couldnt. Take pleasure in what we can do folks. Anything is better than sitting at home. And spare a thought for the policy writers. I just dont think any of them are probably in any way able to understand the culture of outdoors and country people. Everything gets looked at from an urban and Auckland perspective when it comes to this sort of thing. That is not making excuses for them but I know how these things work. Farmers have been fighting it for years.

    At the end of the day, once again I come back to the fact that many people and not just hunters seem to have lost sight of what is at stake if we get it wrong or push the boundaries or come out of lockdown too soon. Every day we are in lockdown hurts us economically for another another two months and pushing the boundaries could mean someones loved ones dying when they didn't need to or lockdown coming back on again and the whole country being hurt for a long time after that. This ain't about a wee bit of hunting or mountain biking folks. Remember that and be careful not to act like your five year olds. That is their game to play, not 'grown ups'. We are nearly there. Lets not drop the ball so close to the final line.

    When things return to normal (whatever that means then) we (none of us) should accept anything less than to be able to go hunting on public land wherever, whenever and however we want.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Ha ha ha. Yeah I hear you and also like Rushy I firmly that when things are done we should be going back on to our land as per normal. I have no doubt that behind the scenes that this whole thing has been a cat herding festival. They have been learning as they go and no doubt there are many egos involved and people in charge of organisations who cant plan, lead or go in to action. Over the past year I have been thinking more about my civil rights than I have for the entire rest of my life. I am a strong believer in personal freedom where it does not harm others. I do however think that in this case there has been a need for a huge level of control to beat this, as people have demonstrated time and again that if we leave it to peoples good judgement that enough of them will push boundaries or just not! I think people need to stop whinging and remember that this is not forever. It is a month or two out of our lives. Big deal. Toughen up. To not beat this quickly will have far greater impacts on our personal finances, home lives and freedoms moving forward. Remember that. I will also tell you that once done, if people in power think they can unnecessarily add extra unneeded controls in our lives that I will join you all at the front of the protest line. Man I am hanging out to go for a hunt and hear the bird song again. Like we all are.
