New Zealand, a low tax country with no capital gains tax, is struggling for funds to run a modern public health system. Tracy Watkins, a prominent media leader: we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas. We're ill-served by thinking like this. The Post & SST are ill-served by her leadership.

As Aotearoa New Zealand gears up for its second COVID inquiry, it’s crucial everyone watches this clip. Yes, it was tough having closed borders & strict lockdowns, but I’m not sure if people fully understand the scale of devastation we avoided by acting as we did. Listen to this doctor explain.
