Health infrastructure includes hospitals, primary care clinics, mental health facilities etc. To give you an idea of how behind we are on this capital investment: just to bring our worst mental health facilities up to scratch is expected to cost $930m. This funding is now at risk
But… how are they so busy when no one can park out front?
nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/i-st… I still remember the harrowing first time I told a smoker he was going to die of lung cancer
Always upsets me that oxygen masks on planes look like something you’d buy on Temu for 95 cents. The bit with the plastic bag looks like it wouldn’t last 5 minutes 😮💨
Light rail at Surry Hills. LR in Auckland an absolute no-brainer imo. I think someone proposed tunneling LR in Auckland? Seems like it would be pointless and prohibitively expensive when surface is an option
andrew tate is the first person to wear clothes so tight that he's cut the circulation off from his brain
New pancake vid just dropped. Being a dick at breakfast is my favourite thing 😆
I guarantee if anyone asks what he got up to in the school holidays, he will say ‘mostly just gaming’
“Many people that don’t work on the front line actually are enabling those that do, to do their job. If they’re not available [police officers] will have to do back-room jobs” Same in health. Back office enabling functions help the "frontline" deliver. nzherald.co.nz/nz/police-asso….
Flattened by a couple of big rocks nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/pr… Luxon's surprise reshuffle: Melissa Lee tipped out of Cabinet
Chris Hipkins argues the government's borrowing & cutting of frontline staff in customs & internal affairs is not due to NZ's debt levels: "Nicola Willis had already said she's going to be borrowing more in this Budget... she's borrowing for tax cuts. I think that's reckless."
Dogsitter just reported an incident. Doggo had been left at home for a few hours and got bored, managed to push over a bin with chicken bones inside (KFC 🍗) Proceded to eat the lot. He is now at work with her while he expels the KFC from both ends. Hoping no more drama 😬🤞
How they built banks in the 1850s (Westpac George St, Sydney) 😍
@ChrisPenknz I'm a planner in Auckland I know lots of other planners, architects, and engineers who are all really short of work because of all the uncertainty about the planning situation in Auckland. Your Government's changes have stopped a huge amount of development.
As told by Prof Nicola Wheen, with small editorial assist from Prof Andrew Geddis ... theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…
In today's Guardian - changes to NZ's resource consenting laws "getting bad things done in a potentially dangerous way". Lack of checks and balances on executive powers, and ministers making decisions on projects that benefit their donors?? Not how serious govt shd work.

They're ripping the fucking heart out of New Zealand & there's not a god damned thing we can do about it. NZ you were way too free & easy with your 'protest' vote, this is fucked @NZNationalParty First changes to Resource Management Act revealed rnz.co.nz/news/political…
The current government’s decision to invite political donors to participate in the fast track consenting process stinks, particularly as ministers propose to give themselves the power to make arbitrary decisions. Ethical standards are an endangered species under this govt.

@salty_kiwi “Living within our means” was a mantra for the last National Govt’s systematic underfunding of health. Disappointing to see it being trucked out again.
@Bridgetpee @MarkStewartNZ @dbseymour For National it's ideological. For example bringing back prescription charges actually costs more overall.
Health infrastructure includes hospitals, primary care clinics, mental health facilities etc. To give you an idea of how behind we are on this capital investment: just to bring our worst mental health facilities up to scratch is expected to cost $930m. This funding is now at risk
Also note that’s literally just an operational deficit. It doesn’t begin to cover the multi billion dollar shortfall in long term health infrastructure investment, which Te Whatu Ora is also attempting to (very slowly) make progress on.
Last year Te Whatu Ora ran a deficit (ie, was underfunded) to the tune of $1 billion. If you ask a system that’s already a billion short of money to cut services by another $105 million, the result is as bad as you’d expect. rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
Can someone help me remember whether we already had a generational under-funding crisis in health services prior to cuts even being considered? Can our media stop calling this attack on public services "savings"? rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
@KyleDChurch This is worsening the already underfunded health system. This is not saving but plundering the health system
@Bridgetpee that would require two things NZ is shit at. Long term planning and budgeting/project management
@chrisluxonmp @chrisluxonmp where is the cost benefit analysis for this ? You demand 80million from our hospitals while you throw away money to satisfy your ill informed reactionary base. Bill English was right “prisons are a moral and fiscal failure”.
Yeah wow-@tamineilson bringing the house to their feet (including Patsy Cline’s (? (Not the hugest country fan)) family and tears to my eyes . Just wow…
