A Health NZ Board Chair called it in 2024:
National Government has manufactured a crisis to privatise health

80% of $3 billion tax payers dollars allocated to health , that’s $2.4 billion was given to private health care in this last term of government. No wonder everything is falling apart. People dying in ER, on the street. Kids can’t get their cancer drugs on time. #natbastards

He fails to mention that for 40 years, New Zealanders have been able to enrol right up until midnight before election day.
The last two elections we could even enrol on election day.
It’s a massive backwards step that many people won’t know about until they try vote.
National happy to consort with 'white collar' criminal types, who sexually offend against minors..?

Someone asked me today if Luxon has ever sacked a Minister.
No, you can call hard working Kiwis "losers" call other MPs "stupid bitches", hide your 25 rentals from disclosure, sprout racism and lies, obstruct OIAs, and all you will get is warm praise from Prime Minister Luxon.
Because there's no crime. Or assaults. Especially sexual assault. Homicides. Child abuse. Gang violence. Gun violence. Domestic violence. Ram raids even.
Yeah, none of that under this Govt right...?
Tui ad. Rampant. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😳🥹

"Only 2yrs ago politicians were feigning bipartisan empathy as the Royal Commission into Abuse in Care report was tabled in Parliament, telling victims they’d been heard.
"Now? They’ve made a subset of those victims a political smear.
Powerful story.

"Amid political concerns about Kāinga Ora selling off housing in the shadow of the election, a Mt Albert home on track to be 50th state house sold this yr along with 36 other state housing units."
In total, more than 750 homes in past 12mths & 200 more are on the market!! 😳😡
Undermining social housing with impacts on schools and communities. Disgraceful behaviour from this Govt. Bishop deserves to be gone!!

"For social housing tenants promised some of the 1000s of new, warm, dry homes that the Govt has now indefinitely paused, the sell-off of these houses is worrying. “Nobody should be selling something so close to an election,” says MP Helen White. "Decisions that can’t be unmade.”

Head DF gang member resigns due to inappropriate behaviour.
Head gang boss, Paul Goldsmith says no worries brother. We got you.
(...But could you go out quietly so I might still get a cup a tea in Epsom)...
“The head of the New Zealand Defence Force has resigned after admitting an “inappropriate relationship” while in a position of command and saying his conduct was contrary to Defence Force values.”

Comments accepted by 'moderators' on this live NZH link (open) remind me why I cancelled my sub 3yrs ago. Just as disgusting now as then. Appalling from a major NZ media. How far you gave slunk NZH.
No wonder there's political violence. 😳😡
