We'll see how they get on with the hospitals given that the increase in operational funding for the year was way below inflation - 0.4%.
Run the hospitals down again like they did last time.

Couple that with school capital funding - bulging classrooms (or lack thereof) will make it hard to teach those basics that they are on about (you know - the false crisis they created).
Run the schools down again like they did last time.

The new Health NZ commissioner (national party man) said pray for me in an interview to the media. That's encouraging.

Tells where their support comes from.

That hardly surprises me although ACT must have got close?

If Labour wants to win they should run on pensioner poverty (prescription charges, 2 bucks a week, health cuts).

They have a decent record on this with the winter energy payment and healthcare.

NZ working age voters are moving overseas so it's slim pickings following the traditional issues.

It is good to see that the proposed fast-track legislation will be a bit less autocratic and open to Ministerial abuse (or the perception of such).
The govt should be commended for making the change in the face of opposition rather than lambasted, as many are doing, for changing their mind.
