Upon assuming the role of Associate Health Minister, I was informed by Pharmac that they were facing a $1.774 billion shortfall over the next four years. This deficit occurred because Labour neglected to budget for medicines, creating a significant fiscal challenge.
Seymour decries uni's postponement of free speech event after students 'freaked out' by 'right wing voices' dlvr.it/T64L7g
Here we have the tragi-comic spectacle of a debate on free speech being shut down because students are “freaked out” that it includes “right wing” voices. I've read about lions on the yellow brick road showing more courage than the university leadership here.

The Human Rights Commission fronted select committee today to talk about the rights of gangs. Nothing about the rights of victims! Sadly true to form for this left-wing activist group, funded $15m/year by taxpayers 🤦♂️
Anyone incarcerated by Three Strikes will be so due to their having committed multiple serious violent or sexual offences. Why would you want them in our communities?

ACT calls it race fanaticism.

Kiwis just had six years of Labour throwing money at every problem and not getting results. More tax might be the solution if the problem was a lack of money, but it’s not. What we need is more effective spending, and that’s what ACT is focused on in the new coalition government.

We're making the tax system consistent, since interest is a deductible expense for taxpayers in every other area of the economy. But I suppose that's not going to get your voters worked up, is it?
They are threatening to cut funding for school lunches for hungry kids yet somehow Christopher Luxon’s National government found the money to make a handful of mega landlords tax cut millionaires. Their priorities are simply wrong!

The Reserve Bank is advertising for a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion adviser. This will not help to lower inflation. It is inconsistent with the Bank's single mandate to focus on price stability.

Not a single NZ journalist will report this evidence on tobacco prohibition because it doesn’t fit their view of the world: Bhutan was the first country to ban tobacco sales. Smuggling and the black market became rampant. Tobacco use didn’t fall. And it had to reverse the ban.
