The incredible part here is that the workers who cancelled their strike to deal with this crisis WERE ON STRIKE BECAUSE OF SHIT CONDITIONS AND UNDERINVESTMENT IN OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
What a fuck wit - Nelson hospital have been pleading with him for budget/resources for a year. Also the same guy who ordered Auckland City Hospital to do minimum work resulting its infrastructure/backup plans failing in emergencies. This guy would not last a day in a real work environment. #nzpol

New from me: Just eight of the Government's 17 Roads of National Significance have already seen costs blow out by $5.1 billion - before any shovels are even in the ground.
The full programme would cost $44-$54 billion on the latest numbers.

What I'd say to the 65,000 unemployed young people in NZ is... move, and compete harder against the other 340,000 people wanting work or more work. Hell, there are 20,000 job vacancies out there! Nevermind that most of them are wholly unsuited to you. Try harder, bottom-feeders.

The "Stop Three Waters" campaign was easily the most successful operation in racism in living memory.
They managed to convince people to accept far more expensive rates and infrastructure all in order to keep brown people from having a seat at the table.

Worth also noting these are former ministers who have had serious threats to their safety, to their families, from some of those involved in this inquiry and their fellow travellers. They are still participating and cooperating, in a way that keeps them safe and doesn't escalate conflict.
