This might be the case for New Zealand but that doesn't mean that it would be the same with other countries. There are those countries that governments don't know what should they prioritize. I am not saying that it is in the negative way, no. They want to help but they want ro help so much that they don't know what to give and what the people really needs.
You are saying like these people don't know what they should give to the people.
They wanted to help, and they might give other things including food but that is important. It might be a cheap food, cheap things, cheap masks but still, that matters. The government is racking their heads and there are problems that the government has that people don't see. I am not siding with the government, it is just that I am still wondering where the billions are going.
