And, as her lockdown went on, her iPod shuffled on to Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold"—you're in, then you're out; you're up, then you're down. It's a shame that there wasn't a bit more Elton John on her playlist, because it seems that, for Jacinda Ardern, even when things go terribly wrong in this COVID response, "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word". But, if she had a song for the South Island, I think she'd be looking at the younger demographic, with a little bit of Lorde, who've been singing, "I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it." Grant Robertson, on the other hand, he's a bit more old-fashioned, being the elder of the group, listening to The Beatles, starting with a classic "Taxman". He sang to himself, as Treasury reaped in a record and unexpected $98 billion, "If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat. If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat. If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet." He's also been into a bit of Toto, because he said, "As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti, Labour will tax you."
