A florist handed them to me outside Parliament to bring awareness to the plight of flower growers under alert level 4 restrictions. Flower growers are the only primary sector group with perishable goods unable to operate under alert level 4. The Government doesn't need to stay cash-flow positive. The Government knew about Delta for months before changing the rules for how businesses could operate at the last minute. Businesses need to know what the future holds because hope and resilience can quickly end up withering on the compost heap.
