Minister Brown doubling down on fake salary numbers from Te Whatu Ora, and talking points around "politics before patients" distracts from the real issues:
Chronic workforce shortages
Massive unmet need
Failure by successive govts to invest in health
#UnfuckTheSystem
I can't get over this horrific case of the child given two doses of an antipsychotic and held under the MHA in an egregious case of "mistaken identity" wtaf NZ Police, who gave incorrect information to Te Whatu Ora. It's unbelievable.

What you really need to know is that she is talking about putting public funds into private pockets. Run for profit aid agencies only benefit the agency owners.

"de-escalation through escalation" is an absolutely incredible phrase, it belongs in the hack fall of fame
In a similar vein:
Sunday weather on TV1 : cities and towns referred to by ingoa Māori
Monday weather on TV1: back to Pākehā names because I bet a bunch of sooks complained 🫠🫠🫠

Martin Phillipps and The Chills made some of the best pop music to ever come out of Aotearoa.
Martin was upfront about his Hep C diagnosis - detailed in the recent-ish Chills doco. He raised awareness of a condition often left untreated. Today is World Hepatitis Day 😞💔
It's World #Hepatitis Day.
Here is how you can take action to protect yourself and your loved ones:
🔹 Get tested
🔹 Never share sharp instruments
🔹 Get treated
🔹 Vaccinate babies within 24 hours of birth

Very sad news to hear x
I will treasure all the great chats I had with Martin, on and off the radio.
Not only an excellent musician, but a very quick, funny human too.
Rest in Peace @TheChills

Checkpoint listeners and residents of Lower Hutt will be outraged to hear the assertions of a lack of culture and character in its housing stock made by this guy

#FIRSTUnion has been omitted from consultation on law changes that will make it easier for businesses to misclassify permanent employees as contractors.
Meanwhile, Minister confirms that she has already met with mega-multinational Uber about the changes.

The new GPS has been published. 🧵
Under the Pae Ora Act, the govt is required to publish a "GPS" (Government Policy Statement on health) and the GPS, by law, must contain the govt's priorities for engaging with & improving Māori health, + priorities for other specified groups.
Do not add more capacity in Wellington in the form of a charity hospital - invest in Kenepuru - ED, short stay unit and/or MAPU
Wellington Hospital's Emergency Department is a disgrace - heroic staff working in appalling conditions wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=16…
