Just adding to your riddle The money from pay equity would feed right back into our economy, create jobs & ease the cost of living crisis but the "stuff purchased to extend our defenses" is made elsewhere, money for other economies Maybe they've created the economy they wanted & it's a ruse #nzpol

#nzpol The story of The Opportunity Party starts to sound like one of those tech support scams - you know, where a scammer steals from you, and then another scammer contacts you claiming to be able to get your money back. Just like TOP offering to improve politics after National stuffs things up...

I published a piece on The Conversation today on legislated nursing ratios. Results in decreased mortality, complications, readmission, length of stay, and burnout in nurses, and better job satisfaction. Savings cover twice the cost of extra nurses. #nzpol theconversation.com/nzs-nursing-...

NZ’s nursing squeeze is an election issue. Is it time for compulsory patient ratios?
A new study linking lower nurse staffing on surgical wards with higher rates of post-operative deaths has raised urgent new questions about NZ’s settings.

The previous Labour Govt dropped a bunch of speed limits. The NACT Govt reversed the changes, did two rounds of consultation, and ended up reinstating the original Labour govt changes. Great use of resources. Glad we're not wasting time or money on idealogical farts. #nzpol

All the things being pledged by the Nat/Act/ NZF parties make me laugh. Where’s the media on what they pledged in 2023 and how they did? They didn’t pledge fast track. They didn’t pledge selling off our assets. They were all about cost of living. And we can all see how that’s going! #nzpol

# nzpol That is a total of 462 targeted people "failing" over 3 years out of 157,588 referrals that equates to 0.29%. Basically if we extrapolate that to the proposed policy of 10,000 (random) tests per year that would equal 29 people. $1.5m to play gotcha with 29 people.
