Our medical system, and I suspect this is a problem in many places around the world not just Aotearoa, has a real fucking problem with giving genuine care. It's honestly and truly fucked. 🤬

oh, so if this is because they needed to brute force executive power because they couldn't attack Maaori enough via local referenda then this is another human rights and constitutional issue. ACT completely giving the game away here. They're speedrunning unaccountable anti-democracy policy

This is another example of how the coalition of chaos is destroying the country. Nobody left to deal with environmental issues at that level.

It is understood reforms to be announced today will mean the dissolving of regional councils, and the first steps could be within this current three-year council term.
