@giosuelucas @Ali61987438 @GroundedKiwis Are you able to outline that “ample warning” because I was overseas then and got back in the 5 day timeframe between “come home now” and “shelter in place”and I know I only managed that because I could afford the exorbitant cost of flights….

@SamSachdevaNZ And this is the BS that incensed me during the use of MIQ - the absolute arrogance of this response is indicative of the arrogance throughout (and I was a died in the wool red for nearly 40 years). Incredibly disappointed ☹️

[Lauren Semple @lozzjoy]

Am feeling a little vindicated that the concerns I had about MIQ (and more importantly for me the way it was glibly characterised by the PM and Ministers) which were sufficient to change my political colours for the first time in nearly 40 years are shared by the High Court 🤓

@larnz1111 Beautiful boy! I needed to top up all 3 of mine with formula to differing degrees and it was definitely the right choice (I had a super experienced lactation consultant so I felt I had the best advice to rely on). Go well both of you ❤️

@litia4eva Have a pretty average degree (and just law not any conjoint shenanigans!) but have been a lawyer for 30 years, a law firm partner for 20. Being a great lawyer is not a thing you learn at law school imho so going into well rounded and curious is critical 😌

@RHvandeWeert @FoxyLustyGrover @GetCaughtLiving Do yourself a favour Foxy and download the soundtrack to the musical Six for a modern take on Greensleeves - absolutely brilliant! Even better go and see it if you can!

@GGrucilla Hmm - little incentive to get the qualifications needed to be a duty manager for 83 cents an hour more than minimum wage……

[Lauren Semple @lozzjoy]

@KayeA62772474 Yes! My daughter is here now thanks - it actually makes a huge difference that she can freely enter the country of her birth without winning a lottery ❤️ (but I have a sneaking suspicion you didn’t really want to know all that…)

@excellentwretch @alex_g_martin @DrDanDantbd Also less of your fifty mumbling in public please!!

[Lauren Semple @lozzjoy]

@excellentwretch @alex_g_martin @DrDanDantbd Let’s do this!!

[Lauren Semple @lozzjoy]

@BrookingRachel @bbmharrison 😂😂😂 yes indeed!!!

@N3rdyByN4ture Buscopan which is a muscle relaxant was great for managing the pain caused when the body is cramping trying to move the stones through the bile duct.

@REasther We could add that to the $$ spent every year by NZ universities competing with each other for students……how many more low income students could be supported if universities weren’t paying the often already very privileged “top” students to join them?

⁦@DunnerStunner⁩ maybe masks on the flight would have helped…… https://t.co/iV9vRsbqmD

@CitizenBomber Labour lost me last year (after a lot of voting years) and granted I don’t have a media platform but I did have $ and from the deafening silence that ensued I assume the party did not care a jot!!

@ada_pow @NZMidwifery @HelenClarkNZ ….part of the reason the formula company marketing is so successful is because for many it feels (perversely) like the formula company cares most about their well-being…we need to fix that bit too (or maybe first).

[Lauren Semple @lozzjoy]

@ada_pow @NZMidwifery @HelenClarkNZ Don’t disagree with the intent here but can we stop adding this kind of statement as an after thought. Women are very often not well supported to breastfeed and that provides the environment in which this marketing is so successful….

@GrumpyYetAmusin And be prepared for change I guess! Boarded flight to NZ from Aus ready to iso for 7 days and by the time I arrived it was only 2.5! Win!

[Lauren Semple @lozzjoy]

@GrumpyYetAmusin Awesome! So just vaccination status to fly?
