Foreign Minister Winston Peters has announced the government will charter an Air New Zealand plane, with capacity for 300 passengers, to leave China - subject to Chinese approval.
...
Kiwis will have to pay "a nominal fee" for their place, with the New Zealand government to cover "most of the cost" of the flight."

So is this a PDOOMA or a quote?
Do you have an opinion or do you just quote shit you like and neglect to link to it? Is there a link?

Is it worth it? Just stay in lockdown in Wuhan?? |
How much would a normal return flight be? $1000 might not be such a bad deal for a private flight!

But what are the conditions like on Christmas Island?!
It's reported they'll be dumped in Perth after that, so I guess it's a better deal for Perth residents than e.g. Brissy residents. NZ will offer up any spare seats on their chartered flight, so maybe they should see how much NZ will charge them.  |

Unsurprisingly the media reporting is well ........
Studies published as indisputable fact for example:
Scientists Now Think They Know What Started China's Deadly Coronavirus: Bats
“Scientists from the Wuhan Institute for Virology — located in China’s epicenter of the outbreak, now under quarantine — published a paper Thursday that confirmed the fast-spreading virus is in the same family as the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus that hit Asia in 2003 and killed almost 800 people, and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).
Based on swabs and blood from patients at Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan, they found the genetic sequence closely matched a virus known to live in bats.”
Sounds pretty conclusive but then if you look deeper ..... “ Based on oral swabs, anal swabs, and blood collected from seven patients at Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhanl”
Not published in any reputable peer reviewed journal either  |

Lots of bleating on social media about the Government requiring folk who are to be evacuated from Wuhan to pay a nominal amount towards the cost and then when cleared having to pay to get to their homes from Perth - isn’t this why you have travel insurance  |

Hmm. Would travel insurance cover something like this?
I reckon the fine print might catch people out. No question it's an unusual situation. |
