#4 Flower Decision

2021-09-17 08:02

One word for this decision "Ridiculous".  Am very sorry to hear your news, please know that you have the NZ public's support on this, flowers are essential to a human's wellbeing and we thank you for being there for us during this difficult time, I am sorry that we couldn't be there for you.

#5 Contactless delivery

At the very least you should be able to operate with contactless delivery .. I do understand this may not be viable - but you have a community behind you!

Sick! No cut flowers but I can order an 'essential' Bed and Mattress from Harvey Norman or an 'essential' Kettle from Briscoes (all imported)! How about this for a clear cut decision - "Unfortunately, we have not concluded that your application for cut flower operators to sell and distribute stock at Alert Level 4 does not meet these requirements". God protect us from the Steves of this world!! Perhaps you should seek a Maori veto over this ridiculous decision?

Disappointed to say the least. Its more than odd that alcohol can be distributed in L4 door to door but flowers cannot.

#8 Try another Minister?

2021-09-17 09:58

Is it worth appealing to the Minister of Finance or the Minister for the COVID response? The Health Ministry only values issues connected with its own sphere - it has a narrow view - and will have little sympathy for the unnecessary waste and loss going on for the industry right now. At least the other two Ministers might have a broader, and more pragmatic, view?

Really disappointing! Why is baking fancy pastries/bread/doughnuts and distributing them more important the flowers! Alcohol & sex toys even can still deliver in Level 4! Ridiculous!! As someone who recently wanted to send flowers due to a family death, I couldn’t get my hands on any! They need to review that list!!

Disappointed??!! I'm afraid yet another example of totally unnecessary paranoia and lack of compassion on the part of "Those who must be obeyed". Why on earth can a van load of flowers from Waiheke not be delivered to a food shop in St Heliers which usually retails flowers. Queueing there to gain access the other day I saw at least 3 people come to the store looking for flowers and walk away. At a time when flowers would bring joy and pleasure to people and homes and a sign of Spring on its way, and one weekly van load would give a business a little revenue to help pay bills this seems so so harsh.

 this decision DOES NOT resonate with me....historically flowers have been and still are an absolute necessity for humans in so many ways.  Grrrrrr
