New Zealand's Ardern Calls in Military After Quarantine Blunder

Jun.17 -- New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern speaks at a briefing in Wellington about her decision to call in the military to enforce border controls after two women who arrived from the U.K. were allowed to leave quarantine early and subsequently tested positive for coronavirus.

I hate that new Zealand gets two cases and are like THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN and America get 21000 in a day and are like YO LETS GO TO THE BEACH

[hazardduck]

So that's what leadership looks like! Thanks PM Ardern!

Leaderless in the U.S.A

Now that, is what official concern looks like. What a difference between America and New Zealand.

She is a very smart lady I think she is doing the right thing

[mochtegerndane]

Compare this woman to the governor of Florida - I know who I prefer..

[jeffsaginaw]

THAT'S WHAT A PRESIDENT LOOKS LIKE! And that's what leadership in a crisis looks like.

[bofootball]

This is misleading text, she called upon the Commodore to organize a better quarantine, nothing to do with military order
PM Ardem is an incredible person

[jazzx]

You know it's trouble when she doesn't wear any earrings!

Send in the military - utter bad-ass!

I SO want her to win - she has been awesome.

She's not even 40 yet, and is schooling the whole world into how to manage a crisis.

This is what one would call a no nonsense leader, cut from the finest cloth. Can we appoint her to come and be in charge of all combined police forces in the country.

[glctv]

Wow, so that's what a leader looks like? All we have in the States is this orange buffoon. Stay safe Kiwis!

[SilverSin]

We've walked into this situation blind and careless I'm ashamed to say.

[guyanaking]

Every time I see you pm I hope other leaders take a page from your book and be human live longer and be safe

[billrobbins]

I only wish our government could have handled covid more competently like New Zealand.

[snakes]

The military? OMFG get rid of this incompentent government.The amount of shit us new zealanders have had to put up with with these clowns in power for the last 3 years is unbelievable.

[tristan]

She was on trending just last week saying New Zealand finally “eliminated” the COVID threat.

[FREEDOM-]

totally control, this woman talkes like a dictator

[nyquil]

New Zealand has made a total blunder of this coronavirus response, hope the people are able to make it through. Cheers from the US.

[EvergreenTer]

Why can't you be our president?! We need a jassida in the us

[etheldeitz]

I didn’t hear one word about the military

[ibelieveinyou]

They have isolation facilities ? Is that like a concentration camp ?
