I go regularly to this area for summer holidays. The Motueka market use to be a big drawcard for the region. The footage shows only a few customers wandering the market. The times I have been it was packed with people that it can be difficult to move around. The stall holders who choose to stay will be hurting. Yet it is their own stupid decision.

And the icing on the cake for this in regards to peak stupidity. Motueka has not had one single Covid case at all. Somehow the tricky virus doesn't like the area. Think about that for a second. In over 2 years, not a single case of covid. So all this from the market is complete and utter grandstanding
