Both Act and NZFirst have proved time after time that they are misogynists, racists and anti-environment and yet 20% of NZers voted for them. That is a sad indictment on our society.

Hey Whangārei: Your National Party candidate is Lloyd Budd, a Real Estate Agent. Your Labour Party candidate is Gary Payinda, a Doctor in the hospital Emergency Department. Which one do you think will look after your life best? Careful who you vote for.

#NewZealand will fail to meet its 2050 net zero targets, data shows, after new Govt scrapped #climateaction policies of its predecessor. Doing less achieves less: 101. Nations with heavy carbon footprints may well face growing trade barriers in Europe. theguardian.com/world/articl…

Scientists say government’s approach to emissions cutting is ‘high risk’ and reliant on ‘immature technologies’

Interesting discussion on radio with people dissing the idea of Chloe Swarbrick being Finance minister, saying she’s not qualified - hello, nobody could be less qualified than Nicola Willis!

The current Govt knowingly put the lives of vulnerable NZers at risk so they could run down our health system in preparation for privatisation. Vote them out. nzdoctor.co.nz/article/undoc…

This is as true today as it was then. It’s really not too much to ask.

Just a reminder that the scare mongering about superannuation ais silly. Treasury warns we will spend 8% of GDP on super by 2065. That’s still below the OECD average today (8.1%) Currently we spend just over 5%

Great reporting in The Post on 'softened' school sick-day guidance. Reports how Health NZ did not assess the risks. Now, hospitals are cancelling surgeries while late-winter flu surges. Prioritising bums on seats over public health has consequences. 1/4 thepost.co.nz/politics/36107…
Seymour called for softer rules for sick days without health risks being assessed

Seymour called for softer rules for sick days without health risks being assessed

Associate Health Minister David Seymour’s call for language around sick days to be softened to boost attendance was done without assessing the health impacts.

Last year, I warned Kiwis are dying in hospital corridors. @SeanPlunket said it wasn't true. Today, news that 2 patients in 2 months died in ED toilets & doctors & nurses continue to tell of alarming deterioration of public health. National diverting millions to private care.

Public health is being pushed to the brink as Simeon Brown diverts millions of funding from community GPs & public health to private investors. It's Kiwis & health professionals who are paying the price as he pushes the system towards the USA mode #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/mounta…
