With the greatest respect the argument is arse about face. The government regardless of it's colour can issue the currency to pay for a decent health system. A health system within our living memory. The taxes come in to take that currency out of the ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 7:14 am, September 1st, 2026
Labour, once again, have bought into the narrative that taxes are bad. This clip, which many may have seen, has a good summation at the end by Ganeesh Nana. He highlights the difference between finance and economics. The baddies always pivot to finance- ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 1:58 pm, August 31st, 2026
It's part of the coalition agreement. Under no circumstances acknowledge climate change. That's too woke for Winston and against the business interests of those that Gordon Brittas serves.Written By: gsays - Date published: 8:01 pm, August 30th, 2026
Cows definitely are part of the problem for many different reasons. They aren't profitable without hydrocarbons. Plenty of diesel is burnt getting raw milk to the drying plants. Cows don't walk to the works. Then there is the energy intensive Haber-Bosch ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 7:01 pm, August 30th, 2026
Tell that to the grieving survivors of the Nepalese river tsunami. As always it's going to be the poorest of humanity that will bear the brunt of us with carbon dense lifestyles. There are plenty of alternatives to the greedy intensive habits of too many ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 6:43 pm, August 29th, 2026
Strangely enough, if the cops had shot him, we would know their criminal history by now as well as other agencies chipping in with commentary.Written By: gsays - Date published: 2:49 pm, August 29th, 2026
All our assumptions are predicated on there being GPs to make appointments with. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/health/540200/staff-shortages-key-driver-as-more-general-practices-turn-away-new-patients Yet another downside to running record migration year upon ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 1:52 pm, August 28th, 2026
The last 'former NZ1st candidate' defined women by their shopping propensity. Can't say they are going hard out for them.Written By: gsays - Date published: 11:14 am, August 28th, 2026
A country as resource rich as we are shouldn't have the inequalities we have. It's the system that is failing us. This hatred of taxes (which is simply greed) needs to be tackled. Paul Henry wants Aotearoa to return to how it was when he came through. A ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 9:57 am, August 27th, 2026
Sir Ian Taylor, yeah? nah. 'I ticked National twice, I didn't vote for ACT?/Seymour'. I'm not buying it Sir Ian. You clearly are an intelligent man. You can't vote National and not vote ACT. He thens waxes lyrically aginst Treaty Principals Bill and now ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 7:42 pm, August 26th, 2026

We are fully engaged with the local diabetes crowd. We are looking at a private provider but there is a strange anomaly that the usual caring contractors are risk averse when it comes to insulin.Written By: gsays - Date published: 7:38 pm, August 26th, 2026
TBH, I'm not all over TOP UBI. I have glossed over those chats. It was just an offhand comment about the banking industry that basically can't loose in the mortgage market. Witness the billions they export out of our economy each year. Parasites.Written By: gsays - Date published: 3:48 pm, August 26th, 2026
Hey folks, another group source question. Where to find someone who can oversee the giving of insulin three times a day. There are options for general meds (opiates, anti-psychotics etc in blister packs) but those providors will not go near insulin. We ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 2:26 pm, August 26th, 2026
The real estate industry buys donates heavily to National, to mess with the Accomodation Supplement would have the Nats in breach of contract. For the record, I agree, the AS is nothing more than a taxpayer economic stimulus to landlords.Written By: gsays - Date published: 12:10 pm, August 26th, 2026
Thank you for sharing that. You have my regards and respect. I have only 'dipped my toes' into care. A finite time, my Mum and with a fairly bright prognosis. To endure, with the one you gave your heart to, in a situation that is far from positive takes a ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 12:03 pm, August 26th, 2026
A wonderful interview with Tami Nielson on things Dolly. https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/ninetonoon/audio/2019049190/tami-neilson-on-the-loss-of-music-icon-dolly-partonWritten By: gsays - Date published: 11:57 am, August 26th, 2026

Good point about women bearing the load. With the desire of preserving a good korero I will not explore the undervalued and forgotten importance of this unpaid work... Another day perhaps.Written By: gsays - Date published: 8:14 am, August 26th, 2026
We certainly do need a system change. Investment at appropriate levels. According to need. (Which makes Labour's debt to GDP, non horse frightening announcement particularly cowardly.) Beyond that, wages moving to a level where a family can be raised and a ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 6:05 pm, August 25th, 2026
Thanks thinker. I've become aware of carer fatigue, but I think I can see a finish line. I certainly have compassion and empathy for the carers. It's not their fault the fall occurred but if Mum wasn't due to go out for lunch that day it could easily been ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 12:14 pm, August 25th, 2026
Chur Bella, in korero with Mum's manager I have ascertained if the carer can't get in, they are to try looking in each window, try the neighbours then not to leave until they have contacted their manager I am asking for a review of this event as well as ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 12:07 pm, August 25th, 2026
Provider change hadn't occured to me. They are driven from Auckland and the manager offered up traffic as a reason for being late. 3 cars at an intersection is peak flow in Filly. Since I started the thread, a relief carer came, showered Mum and she was a ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 11:11 am, August 25th, 2026
Thank you very much weka. Some great advice there. You are right about getting clear with what I want to achieve. There is an fear of punching down, as in consequences tend to go down a hierarchy rather than up. However the comms from Geneva have been very ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 10:48 am, August 25th, 2026
Hi Graeme, thanks for that. Mum is living in her own home and determined to stay and we are prepared to help achieve that. Osteoarthritis has a strong grip and mobility is quite limited. This event has shaken her confidence and while she is on the mend ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 9:13 am, August 25th, 2026

At the risk of hijacking Open Mike, I've got a question I would like to group source. My Mum fell through the night last week and was cast on the floor for several hours. She was due to have a career call in around 10am to assist with a shower, the door ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 8:39 am, August 25th, 2026
Yep. I wasn't far from serious when I mentioned a citizens arrest on Simeon Brown and Lester Levy for vandalising our hospitals. Rather than a mock guillotining perhaps a citizens Court session could be held, putting the relevant ministers on trial for ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 8:31 am, August 25th, 2026
Unfortunately it is far more embedded than just a silly no taxes agenda. It is neoliberal ideology. There are far more impactful ideas to spend the limited bandwidth on than a brain fart that Luxon dropped. As a start: Reverse landlord tax handouts. ...Written By: gsays - Date published: 6:34 am, August 25th, 2026
At the risk of politicizing others misery… There are no winners here apart from the balance sheet and the downward pressure on Health New Zealand's hiring freeze. The doctor felt out of their depth, repeatedly asked for more training. The patient's whanau ...
