I believe politics should be about making life easier for people, not more difficult. This Government is focused on achieving that and announcing Doctor’s visits will be $20-$30 cheaper for half a million of us, as well as extending free GP visits to under 14 year olds, is a step in that direction.
…the horror take away is that despite all the madness inside National, New Zealanders still adore the National Party!
Despite China buying 2 MPs, despite the allegations of corruption, despite the internal meltdown, Kiwis desperately worship at the feet of the banal and the malicious in the hope their speculative property portfolios can soar in 2020.

GOVT APPOINTS DHB & MoH GROUP TO ADVISE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH INQUIRY RECOMMENDATIONS….
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT that the most accomplished class warrior to emerge from the struggle to improve New Zealand’s labour laws would be Winston Peters?
