The irony is that this cost saving method will cost billions more to the taxpayer, shovelling to private companies, than just building it by borrowing as a government should and is able to do.

Health NZ recommending PPP, which would cost more over time than just building the fucking thing. And as for this final comment from the GP, it's not ironic it's a deliberate strategy. Irony would be if it was coincidental. www.1news.co.nz/2024/10/01/h...

"There wasn't any hardship quickly finding the money for tax cuts and benefits to landlords, but now there is a great deal of trouble affording healthcare infrastructure," he said. "I mean, that's the irony."

While the US is reinstating free covid RAT tests, NZ is ending our scheme, alongside resources & PPE for healthcare. How many kiwi lives need to be harmed or lost in the upcoming Christmas spike before the government recognises the need for free testing as a bare minimum? #equity#testing#covid

There's something about Shane Jones' terrible oratory that makes you want to get a bit flowery in your parliamentary submissions.

Screenshot of submission on Parliamentary website. "I write in strong opposition to the Crown Minerals Amendment Bill, which is unnecessary, unhelpful, ideologically driven, and offers nothing positive to the people of Aotearoa New Zealand I am a New Zealander who has always taken pride in our country’s progressive stance on environmental issues. I am the mother of a beautiful three-year-old whose future will be determined by the steps we take now as a country. I am a human being who understands that we only have one planet, and that our wellbeing is more important than the profit margins of overseas corporations. It is appalling that the public have been given only four working days to make submissions on this Bill. It speaks to the Government’s total disregard for fundamental democratic accountability as well as its contempt for our land, air and water.
Text continues: I share the concerns of many New Zealanders and community organisations who have pointed out that this Bill: - disregards the scientific and public consensus on climate change - undermines te Tiriti o Waitangi, our foundational document - likely breaches our obligations to our trading partners - disrespects our Pacific neighbours, who are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis - puts the people of New Zealand on the hook for cleaning up the mess once the multinationals have absconded with the profits The (ir)responsible minister, Hon Shane Jones, has repeatedly stated that this Bill is necessary to restore the confidence of international investors in oil and gas. I put it to our Parliament that any investors who see long-term profit in oil and gas are so thoroughly out of touch with reality that they shouldn’t be in charge of a go-kart, much less a company , and certainly should not be influencing our political decision-makers.
Text concludes: "Oil and gas is not the future, for Aotearoa or the planet. We should not sacrifice everything that makes our country precious so short-sighted money men can keep living in their fool’s paradise." Under "recommendations" it reads: "Reject this foolish legislation."

Just a reminder- Sir John Key is being sued for insider trading in the USA. #nzpol anyone not mentioning that when covering him is making a choice

Do you know someone who would be a great Principal Analyst for the Public Health Advisory Committee (which I chair)? If so, give them a nudge, as applications close in a couple of days: careers.health.govt.nz/jobs/MOH-182...

Listen, if you're not up to much today, celebrate Daylight Savings with my new book 'Migration'. It's got time travel in it 💞 #writingcommunity#books#YA

Cover of my new YA book called 'Migration'. You can get it at the library or buy it from anywhere, even Amazon. People seem to like it, which is a relief because it took a bloody long time to write, and it would have been terrible to waste so much time on something that everyone hated. So yay me!
