No worries! The American health system provides a perfect example of the advantages of privatised health
This is just straight neolib ACT policy dressed up as a Westpac report.
We don't want the Americanisation of our health system. Any public sector woes would be dwarfed by the poverty and poor health privatisation would bring to many AoNZers. Westpac and Seymour can just fuck off with this. #nzpol
The solution is obviously fund public health to a level it requires
Paying private companies to do the same work is (1) just privatization by the back door and (2) going to cost more
None of that is better for us as a country

Good grief a new low for RNZ, a headline and article that focuses on the pain for western consumers without one mention of hundreds of dead children and civilians in an illegal war undertaken by Israel/USA #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...
Ffs, underfunding is not under pressure and decades of evidence says private healthcare serves profit not patients. Why isn’t proper funding on the table? Does Westpac have private healthcare providers as customers? This is not an objective balanced analysis #nzpol
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
Yum!
#tvnz interview on Luxon this morning with Brigitte Morton and Peter Dunne. Good to see them balancing opinion over the gamut of political viewpoints - right wing to very right wing. #nzpol
And this is what Luxon, Willis and others in the National Party want.
Absolute dumb approach to New Zealand's future energy needs.

What? Cutting staff doesn't lead to greater efficiency? Unpossible!
I see the news is reporting that there will be a sell-out of EV vehicles this week. Yet another opportunity for the rich to act in their interests and for the poor to suffer the consequences of rich people's choices.

As a wāhine Māori I am… annoyed.
#NZpol But Luxon is still keen on supporting more LNG?
Ok. Killer AI is one thing, but Attack Lego is a brick too far
Interesting to think that Donald Trump may have, completely inadvertently and at a horrific cost, finally woken up the world to how urgent it is we get off our dangerous addiction to fossil fuels.
The thing that gets me about his "defense" is that it's still a crime if she was 17
Shit. You mean, if the service is good, people will actually use it??? Gonna need to recalibrate my sensible governance goggles
The true Nice to have, a 69% rise.
A chocolate fish for the first journalist to ask Luxon or Willis "Will you take full responsibility for the rise in inflation this year due to Geo-political events, considering you demanded the same of Labour during the last election campaign?" #nzpol
The current situation reminds me how magical I find it that the petrol already in storage tanks at petrol stations manages to increase in price in line with global oil prices almost instantly.
But to decrease it always seems to need to wait a bit longer for the new, cheaper stuff to arrive.
Ooohh. I'm so envious. I need one that can identify and swerve dog poo :-)
Perfect time to electrify the fleet, ditch the Roads of National Significance and move more freight by the most efficient land transport form we have - rail

Christopher Luxon is horrible in a crisis.
He is an impudent toddler who is throwing his toys at journalists for asking valid questions as the world burns.
He has no empathy and no life experience and thus can not connect with every day people.
As things get worse, so will he.
#nzpol
how can you say no poll will make u resign because you're focused on what new zealanders what, when the poll is telling you what they want?
Luxon repeating the untrue "NZ has 88% renewable energy".
It has that for electricity, but not for energy in general, which is 40%.
Government cuts are directly responsible for people dying. This government’s thirst for landlord tax cuts is killing people.
Of course no discussion is needed: we already did - that was the poll. Jog on lame duck
France became the first country in the world to ban supermarkets from throwing away unsold food. Lawmakers passed the Loi Garot, which requires all grocery stores larger than 400 square meters to donate edible food to charities and food banks instead of sending it to landfills.
Yep. Labour will not get a vote from me while they continue to be neo-libs
