ok so the doctors visits was already announced and had a follow up 'shitty loans to private GPs' announcement, but where are the big policy headliners for good jobs or affordable homes?

I really wish the left wing parties talking about "free GP appointments" would at least get in touch with the College of Primary Health Care Nurses, because they're really missing a huge part of the problem by only centring GPs in their discussions, policies, and rhetoric.

#NZpol The "go slower" on emergency service buildings sounds off.
You’d think emergency service buildings should _always_ be built to higher standards, surely, and be high priority.
Likewise for buildings intended as safe havens in times of crisis.

Priority status will be removed from buildings such as *hospitals*, schools, *police stations*, and their remediation deadlines will be extended.

The economy must be going super good when the Reserve Bank Governor and Chair resign within six months of each other, having both conflicted with the Finance Minister over the role of the Reserve Bank and how it is funded to be independent. That's a sign of the recovery being around the corner.

If you're wondering why we in New Zealand should be worried about the IPCA's incredibly ill-conceived 'helpful' suggestions for reforming protest law & requiring pre-approval, the effect of such laws in the UK is exhibit A.
Regressive and incompatible with a free society.

This is outrageous. 'Paul Parker, recording clerk for Quakers in Britain, said: “No-one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory.' I am sickened to read this.

What a cop out that will result in so much violence when ultimately retail theft stems from a cost of living crisis and a lack of support

Every announcement this government makes is just baffling. Citizens arrests risk serious harm to both parties. Do not encourage your staff to do this. It breaches your health and safety obligations.

This ad comes from a Ministerial Press Release beehive.govt.nz/release/viol.... It states "Police data shows that violent crime has fallen". In the footnotes it then says "Violent crime is not a category of data that Police tracks". Both these things can't be true.
