"Dalton also challenged claims by Health Minister Simeon Brown that senior doctors were paid an average salary of $343,500.

"I've had a deluge of e-mails from our members saying if they earned that much money there would be no strike action," she said."

HOW can you negotiate with a LIAR?

Senior doctors' union defends strike plans, says government is risking patient safety

The Association of Salaried Medical Specialists says it's the government, and not its industrial action, that's sacrificing patient safety.

@civillibertynz excellent submission, thank you so much for sharing it before submissions close - I hadn't been keeping an eye on things and had no idea this bill existed. Have made a short submission on the website.

"They have been struggling with incredibly high power prices"

So instead of a solar power plant, they'll get a meat works that'll require MORE power pushing prices up higher...

Shane Jones and a large entourage flew to the Chatham Islands today to see what the islanders need.

While nobody asked for one, Jones himself suggested they should get a “mobile abattoir.” He told them to put in a pitch, with urgency, to his $1.2 billion Regional Development Slush Fund.

"He (Jones) dismissed questions about the propriety of the minister in charge of judging funding pitches giving his own idea for a pitch."

Of course he did.

@paulhellyer Amanda and Christopher Luxon and Luxon's government are not our friends. Friends don't abuse and rob other friends. They don't starve our other friends' children or deny them healthcare or fundamental rights or a place to live or kick them out of the country because their child has a health condition.

The Luxons are only friends to rich entitled jerks like them.
