@PronouncedHare@LizzieMarvelly Was never taught in my schooling, nor any NZ history of substance. Most kiwis grow up with a greater understanding of Nazi Germany and the world wars than their own country which is sad.
@aniobrien I normally enjoy your views Ani but it was disappointing as a public servant to see you trot out the same tired old tropes about the public service. I work for one of the biggest ministries and we're all back while my private sector mates and family continue to work for home.
@Shelly21685208 I'd love to know how much money is being blown on setting up the new health structure rather than being spent on the current failing system.
Absolute joke, the backpay was promised as part of the last pay negotiation. That was negotiated in bad faith so now buckle up for this to be voted down or strikes later in the year with the next pay negotiation.
@ClintVSmith Go ask the nurses what they think of the offer put in front of them today and how they've been completely screwed out of the back pay to Dec 19 they were promised before you start crowing. Don't be surprised to see the proposal voted down.
@MatthewHootonNZ We're in red due to the health system. If only we'd had time over the last 2 years to fast track nurses and Dr's into the country. Instead we spent it trying to short change the nurses and ignore their staffing complaints.
@MufcWonItAll So many of us said at the time, it's not the manager, it's the whole club and it's complete lack of structure. Hindsight shows the job Ole did, and above all else he bled United. Now once again we're rudderless.
@aniobrien Jesus a compliment, joke or attention is sexual harassment? Thank God I'm married as it's a tough world out there for single men based on this.
@PronouncedHare Beneficiaries for the most part aren't bludgers (small group give the rest a bad name) and the rates should be higher as we just end up paying it in emergency housing grants anyway.
@MerrimanEileen@conspiracytalk9 My wife is an infection control nurse and wears n95s visiting the ward and around colleagues and has had so many encounters with positive cases and no covid to date so I'm a believer that they work!
