A coronavirus sceptic who confronted New Zealand’s deputy leader on the campaign trail was met with a blunt response when the lawmaker called him a flat-Earther.
Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters was taking questions from a crowd at an election event in Tauranga this week when he was asked to prove that Covid-19 existed.
“We’ve got someone who obviously got an education in America,” Peters said, referring to the man’s apparent North American accent.
Peters continued by citing the mounting U.S. death toll from the virus — over 215,000 — and the rising case numbers around the world.
“And here is someone who gets up and says:’the Earth is flat’,” he added.
“Sorry sunshine, wrong place.” [Courthouse News Service]
Outside of the occasional earthquake, New Zealand continues to sound closer and closer to heaven on Earth.
