Pharmac uses a "fixed budget" model. If prices rise significantly, Pharmac typically doesn't "pay more"—instead, it simply stops funding certain drugs or refuses to fund new ones, meaning New Zealanders might lose access to the latest treatments rather than the government spending more money.

Loved it - so funny. 😂 Hey Morgan, I just watched this video - he's an Aussie duck farmer who uses Maramas to guard his flock. It's really interesting!

I have hope for America because of the good ones like you Morgan, but looking at the US from NZ it seems like you are descending into fascism. You used to be our friends, now we can no longer trust you.

Here's a good explanation.

Also, how would a child prove their age?

Children don't usually have identification documents.

Cybersecurity risks all round.

At least for a while!

I'm kind of grateful to Trump in a weird way. He's alerting the world to the nature of far-right politics and that they're poison to politics now it seems. Bring on the next NZ election!

For sure. Other than his exit I can't think of anything good he represented.

True.

No, he just seemed to adopt a different persona as leader - a lot of people do. Behind the scenes he may not be as hard as he comes over. History now.

Shows that appealing to the far right isn't an election winning strategy.

I was surprised at Dutton's grace in defeat. I wondered where that person was during the campaign. Maybe if voters had of seen that side of him he may have done better.

To be fair there's some pretty convincing evidence that the election was stolen - unbelievable voting patterns at a polling booth level and of course Trump's little secret that he couldn't resist boasting about.

Peter Dutton has lost his seat! What a whitewash - or should I say red-wash!
P. S. Thank you Donald Trump - you're making voters turn left!

Add economists to the list! They are driving the car while looking out the rear window. Great at telling us what happened six months ago but shite at predicting the future or devising new economic paradigms.

Lol! Now I know why my missus mumbles. 😂
