Gone on a bit of a tear there RTing some of my many tweets in support of doctors, nurses, and frankly eveyone who keeps the health system running at the sub-ministerial level and I stand by every word
If these people are striking for pay and conditions, it's bad
Pay them more
Patently not true. Because of this policy the eligibility age for Maori and Pacifica, which have the greatest need, was increased.
When Maori and Pacific life expectancy match that of pakeha these policies may not be needed. Currently their life expectancy is 7 years less.
Maybe (since it's not the job of the taxpayer to provide lunches) we need to start talking about the already wealthy and sorted who get lunch (and other meals) supplied by the taxpayer at Bellamy's.
They can bring lunch from home, surely?
@ThisIsCorey yep followed by a snack when I got home and a big dinner at night not forgetting the breakfast I had before I went to school and to be honest there was likely a biscuit or two for morning tea. Not so great if it the only thing going to eat for whole day
Christopher Luxon fails to understand that growing up, he would have had meat, potatoes and three veg, the night before, and 5 wheatbix before school. So yeah a Marmite sandwich and an apple might have been enough. For some kids, school lunch is the main meal of the day.
I notice that the only media outlet was tvnz1 who said the worker at spy valley wines feels vindicated.
So much for national & media outlets advocating for the victims of crime.
Meanwhile its been 27 days since tim jago was outed as a convicted pedophile that Seymour covered up
Last year, the Children's Commissioner condemned the govt for watering down its child poverty reduction goals (image below).
Today it has failed to meet all 3 of its targets. This government doesn't care about families or children. It doesn't care unless you're a wealthy donor.
Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

David Seymour won't face repercussions for driving up the stairs despite twice told not to. Meanwhile, Hana was sent to the privileged committee and a 24-hour lockout for a haka. Now that white privilege at its best.
The PM doesn’t ’get it’. Destiny causes widespread harm across the country and he is taking no action. What happened to the promise to make NZers feel safe? Or is there a different standard for the rainbow community? https://t.co/nWMY3RQcUu
