Interesting to see John Key would be keen to see a trump win. Always thought it was weird how key stepped down right as trump was announced president in 2016 and at the height of his popularity. Ardern too stepped away later on as key did

What's the connection between Trump and Key resigning?

Is that for the 120K metro Dunedin pop or the entire lower SI?

Dunedin metro, but heres a hack they dont want you to know; both Chch and Invercargill ALSO have hospitals.

Invers has Kew hosp but doesn't have the specialists Dun does, which is also a teaching hospital so presumably benefits the local economy.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

And if I know NZ, what they will do is build some wierd not fit for purpose hybrid for $2B and in 5 years Invercargill will need an upgrade and you'll end up spending $5B on less than 500k people

Maybe, but Kew was already rebuilt for purpose about 15 yrs ago

I grew up in Duds. Still have family there. So I ask what local economy?

Surely National realised that before promising the new Dunedin hospital.
I think that is important to the electorate

Uni service town, cruise ships, light manufacturing, off top of my head

Yup seems to be a dropkick
Her idea of the heated tobacco has gone up in smoke because of the new laws around disposable vapes being banned
I see our esteemed leader did not have clue either talking about a one year trail

 

[John Nick]

YEAH right

And here's the privatisation. No money for health, money for tobacco barons, roads to nowhere, tax cuts we can't afford, tax "relief" for the starving landlords and profits for luxon on properties sold untaxed.

Health NZ urges Govt to consider privately-run public hospitals

In addition to the new Dunedin Hospital, more than a dozen other large projects are classified as having significant risks.

What a cluster fuck of uselessness. Another ranting about mediocrity incoming...

Former police detective... so she really can't be as useless at as that clip suggests.

David Bain anyone..

This is why I rail against mediocre people in positions of power. Whichever way you look at it. Even if she's thinks she's been clever, she's couldnt even answer 1 follow up question without looking like a complete idiot.

Stats NZ has released its 2023 Wellness Survey. The number of New Zealanders reporting satisfaction with their lives has fallen from 85% in 2018 to 76% last year. Seems to tie in with our lives experiences.

But Covid!!! Nope. In 2018, we were the eighth-happiest nation. Now we are ranked 11th. We were more satisfied with our lives than Australians - now the Aussies are happier than we are.

The survey makes a laughing stock of Ardern’s failed “world-leading wellness budgets”.

Glad we’ve got a government now thats back to basics, governing for the masses, is focused on the economic fundamentals, and is empowering people to control their own destiny.

Conflict of interest, corrupt, greedy, you name it. Of the rich, by the rich, for the rich.
