    Cory Doctorow interview is very good. 20+ years talking about tech policy gives him a good set of skills to address the current issues we face because of tech.

    Does pre election polling influence voters……….how much does media focus on certain polls influence voters…….perhaps we need 'question checking' on pollsters along with 'fact checking' on political policies and statements……..

    It’s not 2017-type panic stations yet….!!!!

    Labour’s former chief of staff says it’s not 2017-type panic stations yet, despite dipping below 26% | Stuff

    More problems with staffing levels in nursing, which is symptomatic of the ongoing and growing crisis in NZ health care. So, when is National actually going to fix the basics?

    A shortage of cardiac beds and staff in Wellington and Christchurch hospitals is leaving patients at risk and waiting weeks for treatment instead of the recommended days – a situation one doctor describes as a "shambles".

    The shortage also means that cardiac cath labs – used for procedures such as placing stents – are left unused for parts of the day due to a lack of staff.

    The writing is on the wall but some people look away, afraid of the truth that National has made things much worse in NZ health care.

    Additional beds are expected to come online across Wellington Hospital over the coming years, he said.

    Fixing the basics in NZ health care shouldn’t take this long, as the need is now and becoming more urgent by the day.
