There’s no hope of recovering the files, the paper was told, so the production team at Mastiff will have to recut the entire season together from scratch.

According to the paper’s sources, the deletion happened after Mastiff allowed an AI agent into the server. With a year’s worth of work down the toilet, hundreds of people will now need to go in and cobble together the next season all over again, which was originally supposed to air on November 22.

This is a sitting member of Congress who called for immigrants to be executed by throwing them to their deaths out of helicopters. Mike Collins personally amplified neo-Nazi propaganda online. It's disqualifying for a member of Congress and for a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Simeon Brown desperately trying to spin this disaster he's created at Starship as 'delay' and 'shifting appointments' and blaming his political opponents for the very mess he's allowed to occur: #nzpol

screenshot of simeons facebook post - I wouldn’t normally write a post like this, but what I’ve seen reported this morning would have caused significant unnecessary distress for many families.
A story out today claimed that Starship Hospital has suspended cancer treatment for children. That is not true. No child has had their cancer care suspended.
There have been a small number of nursing vacancies in Starship’s oncology service, which Health NZ advises me have come about through natural attrition, such as parental leave and retirement. These vacancies have all now been filled or recruited to. As I have always said, Health NZ is actively recruiting to vacancies and there is no hiring freeze at Health NZ.
Because of these vacancies, a handful of chemotherapy sessions have been delayed by a few days, and never by more than seven, with children with the highest clinical need being prioritised. Two bone marrow transplants have been shifted slightly from their original dates, which happens from time to time even when Starship is fully staffed, and both are still going ahead. Two patients from Taranaki went to Christchurch for assessment. That is how New Zealand’s national child cancer network is set up to work.
Again, no child has had their cancer care suspended.
Some political leaders have shared this story today. Now that the facts are out, I ask them to please consider the families who are already going through the hardest time of their lives and don’t need this added unnecessary worry.

#NZpol Simeon Brown is now trying to soften it, urging people to "think of the parents" (first screen capture). I’ve put up a quick response (second screen capture).

My reply -

“I see a few problems with your post.

Starship Hospital director, Dr Greg Williams is quoted as saying, “Starship is recruiting experienced and new graduate nurses as quickly as possible,"

That’s *is recruiting*, i.e. not yet done. That’s not what you say, “These vacancies have all now been filled or recruited to.”

One of the two is incorrect. Given you’re not as close to this as the Director, and have a long track record of disinformation in this campaign, I have to lean in favour of the Director in the meantime.

Pointing at the *loss* of these positions as “natural attrition” tries to slip past the reader that the difficulty of *replacing* them is a reflection of your government’s health funding policies.

Trying to shift all of it to "think of the parents" has you leaving out your part of it. If you want honest discussion, you need to own your part of it, surely.”

Strange how he constantly says there was no hiring freeze, yet up in Northland there’s been a sudden surge in health vacancies advertised in the last few weeks.

If someone leaves from an important role you'd normally have advance knowledge of their dates. Typically you would have someone start and replace them and ideally have an overlap for them to learn from the person they are replacing. You should NEVER have to start the process after they're gone.

The ‘think of the parents’ response has nothing to do with his sympathy towards the parents and absolutely everything to do with the spotlight firmly on the outcome of decisions he made…that is now impacting patient care. We see you Simeon…

I don't think NZ or international media reporting has done justice to the speed, and scale of this decay post-2023's general election, and how it has asymmetrically impacted the most vulnerable in society, including, but not limited to Māori health. It's really staggering, and very sad. #nzpol
