Yes, I mean them because if you do not they are eventually going to get into a position where they will use it on you, and once that happens it’s good night for American liberalism.

It almost feels like it's their rationalization of their position on climate change that allows them to not have to admit being wrong. (Not the politicians, the Republican voters)

It is genuinely disturbing to see The Democrats Are Controlling the Weather go almost *mainstream* as a thing Republicans believe That was, not long ago, something only genuinely delusional people would believe or say in public.

Wow... Now that's a priviledged position. The center of attention in the best possible way. I'm sorry, but I'm envious.~ (Nice work!)

Absolutely gottem! #NZPol

Reti in July sacked the Health NZ board and appointed Lester Levy as commissioner to come up with a “turnaround plan” for the “bloated” public health system. Levy has already asserted it does not need more money. But Paul Goulter, chief executive of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, also took issue with the way Health NZ’s financial position has been interpreted. He said the new deficit figure included expenses which he did not expect to be there. This included a landmark $419 million pay equity claim for midwives and nurses, based on sex-based gender discrimination. “We were told quite strongly this came out of another pot dedicated to pay equity funding, then we find out its been taken out of operational accounts,” Goulter said. Nurses were especially distressed by this, he added, because they felt like the pay equity was being “used against them ... as a matter for significant budget cutting”.
Holiday pay remediation was another expense Goulter did not expect would be included in the deficit. Officials in 2016 discovered tens of thousands of nurses were not paid correctly for their leave, dating back as far as 2010. “The holiday pay remediation, that has been around unfortunately for well over 10 years and to bring it into account in this financial year starts to make one wonder whether we are inventing a crisis”.
Labour’s health spokesperson Ayesha Verrall said the document showed the four regions which the agency used in its accounting were allocated smaller budgets when compared to what had been spent the previous year, of between about 6%-14%. This meant the Government had “manufactured a financial crisis to justify stripping back the health system”, she claimed. “Te Whatu Ora’s deficit can be explained in part by hiring more nurses, doctors and allied staff such as physiotherapists, necessary and consistent with the workforce plan Labour put in place. This is exactly where the Government should be investing, not cutting,” she said in a statement. “The documents further undermine the Government’s story that Te Whatu Ora’s deficit is fuelled by back office roles. It’s important the health system is staffed by those who care for patients and keep the whole system functioning – like those booking appointments, orderlies and cleaners.” A Te Whatu Ora spokesperson added: “2024/25 and 2023/24
