I'm NZ born and bred. I oppose our current lockdown situation and think it should have been lifted a long time ago. I think we got extremely lucky in our first wave and I think our government handling of the delta wave (and the lack of preparation in advance of it) is shameful. I am extremely critical of our government and very disturbed by the media's handling of it. I could not be more depressed by the sorry state of our opposition. All of that to to say that describing NZ as a "reverse" open-air prison is so far beyond absurd I don't even know what to say. For one thing, Kiwis are free to leave NZ - perhaps it's Australia you're thinking of, which really did lock its citizens at home under punishment of 5 years in prison or a $66,000 fine[0]? 0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_during_the_COVID-19_pandemic#Oceania_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_during_the_COVID-19_pan...
