Another way government austerity is failing healthcare and the NZ people. Underfunded Te Whatu Ora / Health NZ is cutting access to the Cochrane Library, a gold standard source of information to support health decision-making. NZers use it 246 times per day. #nzpol

The Cochrane library is a global source of independent health evidence for everyone – why is NZ restricting access?
New Zealanders download Cochrane Library health reviews daily. Restricting access is a step back to when medical knowledge was held tightly by professionals.

As many of you know, this week Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel under pressure from Trump. That is censorship, plain and simple. And when corporations act like this, we all pay the price, because free speech is a pillar of our democracy.

Here's the Speaker's Ruling Brownlee is now relying on in order to justify requiring Swarbrick to withdraw and apologise today for what she said yesterday. It is a flat out wrong, completely unjustifiable, untenable application of the precedent. He acted from pique and now is backfilling the reasons

This is not caused primarily by "screen time".
It's been caused by the mass eradication of third places for young people in basically every city over the past three decades - and a society that's hostile to the concept of teens socialising in public spaces.

One might almost think that Long Covid is a public health crisis and we might want to actually listen to the experts and lived experience voices who have been asking NZ politicians for years to treat Long Covid as a public health crisis - who have then been deliberately ignored across the board 🤔🫠🙃
#LongCovid in New Zealand
In a sample of 4200 children and young people who had Covid and controls, over 20% of those who had Covid suffered new health difficulties, including fatigue, persistent coughs, concentration and stomach issues, and sleep disturbances.
