    Simeon Brown will continue his destruction of Health NZ’s workforce, in body and in spirit, until he and his target-obsessed ideologues are voted out of office.

    The Prime Minister was right to be surprised by claims public servants are getting 10% pay rises – because they aren't. Official figures show public service pay rose just 1.3 percent in the year to June, while prices rose 4.1 percent.

    Instead of acting surprised, Luxon could have shown healthy scepticism that one would expect from a PM and former high-flying airline manager. Especially, because the BS claim came from Mike Hosking, which is akin asking the most sycophantic and worst hallucinating AI for an answer and then blindly & stupidly relying on it.
