ACT's Brooke van Velden on Step 2 of Alert Level 3 and the Events Transition Support Scheme: November 10, 2021

This week Zazi and Brooke talk about the Auckland moving to Step 2 of Alert Level 3 and the Events Transition Support Scheme.

First off, the two talk about the easing of restrictions in Auckland, with the city moving to step 2 of Alert Level 3. Brooke shares whether she is happy with this next step, and how she feels about retail owners enforcing their own rules surrounding Covid-19 safety and regulations.

Then, Zazi speaks to Brooke about some summer festivals getting Government financial aid due to the threat of Covid-19. Zazi asks if Brooke thinks this scheme should extend to smaller events that have less than 5000 people, if she believes summer festivals are a good incentive for young people to get vaccinated, and how she thinks these festivals will impact our local economy, if they go forward.
