Health targets. My #cartoon today #Health #NZpol

Cartoon. Title: “Health Targets” Simeon Brown pushing a patient in a wheelchair, in an Emergency Department. He’s wheeling her towards a cupboard that is stuffed full of people, and saying, “Technically, this isn’t the ED. Our targets are working!”

Riddle me this: how come when Nat government *must* increase defence spending by $5 Billion Nats say they just have to borrow it but when similar Billions are required for Pay Equity for women they pretend this isn’t possible? #NZPol

"Wannabe"? This is what Paul the Other One calls "framing" (no relation) and this is utterly shit framing from the Herald. They wouldn't call an aspiring Nat or ACT candidate "wannabe", would they? Why could that be?

We do not have a serious economy in this country, we have an ongoing series of expensive brazen insults to all the hard-working people who *actually make things* despite the incompetent whims of mediocre upfailing assclowns like this guy. No greater lie than the meritocracy.

If you really want to get "more people off welfare and into work", consider not tanking the economy. That typically works better than performative cruelty.

The party also promised:
to provide "intensive, work-focused support" for 30,000 jobseekers who have been on Jobseeker for more than a year, with more funding for employment programmes that support young people into work.
lowering the rate of payment for those who had been on the benefit for two of the previous three years, from 1 April 2028. There would be a smaller reduction for households with dependent children.
those who repeatedly leave employment without good and sufficient reason would face a 26-week non-entitlement period, up from 13 weeks.
from 1 April 2028, the minimum residence period to qualify for main benefits will increase from two years to five years.
Upston said the party was focused on "getting more people off welfare and into work".

And there it is: voting for Opp is voting for National or someone not Labour. The fact he even engaged with the question - during an election campaign! - shows a breathtaking degree of incompetence that would be a liability if part of a coalition government.

The thing with this kerfuffle about certain audience members' reactions leads a perception or claims of these people being "plants/actors/influencers". I don't really care! It feels like it further undermines media credibility. Mainstream media is slipping into the dark realms of Social Media.

Seymour claims "obsession with identity" is holding the country back. But it really appears that it's Act and its target voters who are doing the obsessing. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...

On the ACT campaign trail, one issue emerges above the others

ACT MPs rolled into Tauranga in their big pink bus - Big Pinky - on Monday. Voters urged them to do more on race-relations and one law for all. Stuff joined them for the day.

You can fuck off any time you like, Ken.

“Māori issues are a disgrace,” said Ken Whittall, from Mt Maunganui, who said he will give his party vote to ACT and candidate vote to National. “They want to take over the country.” If the Government changed at the election, Whittall said, he would not stay in New Zealand much longer.

Remember travelling on the Silver Fern overnight train service between Wellington and Auckland as a child (after catching the Rangatira ferry from Lyttelton to Wellington) and it was great. Still got this set of cards as a souvenir.

So these were taken on my walk to work, from an inner suburb to the city fringe (Karori to Kelburn, for locals). I grew up in the area, and I absolutely would never have seen these birds in people's front yards 30 years ago. Wellington & its people made a choice to bring them back & we succeeded.

8/10 is also the average number of nights Napier's (pop. >60,000) Health NZ Overnight Medical services have been closed recently. Napier's National MP has failed to fix that. Three Hawke’s Bay MPs unintentionally score themselves the same for their first term www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-t...
