Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : In doing so, the government has snookered itself in three mutually-reinforcing ways: on social license, on enforcement, and on the economy.
46% : This means enforcement is now essentially impossible at any scale, because when you tell a million people who have been stuck inside for two months they can go and have a drink at the beach or in a park, that is what they will do and a certain number of them will not follow the rules.
33% : Police have taken a hands off approach to enforcement of illegal gatherings, most notably refusing to break up a rally of more than 1,000 anti-lockdown protesters who gathered at the Auckland Domain on Saturday.
