Except Hipkins ruled it out last week. No wishy washy politician speak, he said it is not something being considered.
Given case numbers and weekend developments, it's not hard to imagine the advice they get this week is possibly markedly different, and may include a recommendation to actually move to L4.
It's easy to rule something out when no one is telling you that you need to do it, after all.
But agreed, a circuit breaker roll of the dice at L4 needs to have a firm time period and possibly specific subsidies wrapped around it.
