@Mountain_Tui Senior doctor just told my better half that the hiring freeze is real and personnel are stretched to breaking point. At the same time the government is directing money to private hospitals, who are offering high salaries to lure people from the public system. This is deliberate.

So the Government hasn’t missed a chance at blaming Unions for the push back by schools to reaffirm commitment to the Tiriti. Big problem is it’s proved a big misfire. Unions have had nothing to do with it. The Government lying again.

This government is working overtime to paint teachers, doctors, and nurses as the bad guys - after handing the money to landlords and the tobacco industry.

[Craig Renney @CLRenney]

This is a policy with no basis in any analysis. It's designed to look tough. It actually makes them look thoughtless and out of touch. Its arbitrary, mean, and simply designed to disguise the fact that the government is failing young people. Is this being back on track?

"Private hospitals can also shift the costs of surgical complications by discharging patients back into the public health system on Friday afternoons to avoid overtime payments to staff in the weekend."

Anne Salmond asks who is #NZ “Government working for, and why? In the case of industrial #forestry, is it ratepayers taxpayers, or international forestry companies that pay no tax, and expatriate their profits?” Incomprehensible changes to forestry regs: https://t.co/aaztJTFE6m

This graphic, is from NZDoctor. Luxon’s #National govt underfunded Health to a record low, per capita,
The worst in a century:
Light blue = #Luxon govt
Dark blue = #Key govt
In between, parties try to fix it. Luxon & Willis claimed they’d funded #health to a record number= #Lies
