So what restrictions is Abbott lifting if you already enjoy as much freedom as Kiwis?
Mostly occupancy restrictions will be lifted- restraints were at 75% or something now at 100%. As Texans get more freedom New Zealand loses their freedom.

New Zealanders don't look on public health as a loss of freedom. We have a highly-valued public health system - something in America you equate with communism.
Aucklanders may be frustrated at rule breakers but they are not angry at Ardern for her decisions. The Auckland lockdowns have been level 3, not level 4, and are expected to be lifted this weekend as it appears community transmission has been contained.
On the other hand, in Texas you are going to find out all about community transmission as you regain your "freedom". But that's what you've consistently done in America - put "freedom" ahead of human life, with the result that you have the highest number of deaths in the world.
