No, sorry, I mean, fucking Christ, how many nurses is that we could have kept in ANZ? How many radiologists/radiographers is it? Enough to clear the eight-month wait list for a basic CT?
As Craig Renney revealed to a shocked Dr Gary Payinda, Te Whatu Ora underspent its wages budget by $500m which has been signed off by Willis & returned to general coffers. Let that sink in. The money was there, but they deliberately underspent. On orders?

Back on the murder mystery beat 🤙
@rianjohnson.bsky.social's back-to-basics approach in #WakeUpDeadMan is the moral of the new film in action, writes @amamelia.bsky.social: "Clarity, trust, hard work, and genuine emotion beat pompous pageantry six out of seven days of the week"
Rian Johnson goes back to the foundations of the genre in new Knives Out
It’s almost astonishing how Wake Up Dead Man totally eschews the flashy genre switch-ups and narrative tricks so core to the first two films.

#nzpol Is the government so broke that it will allow "at least three years of ageing Interislander ferries plying the notorious stretch of water with no viable rescue vessel if things go wrong"? thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608... 1/3
Cook Strait rescue tug going with no replacement
Transport Minister Chris Bishop blames “a significant escalation in costs and little clear benefit” for calling it quits on a replacement.

Sorry you had to wait 10 months for your cancer surgery – a politician needed to save 10 minutes getting to the airport.
$4 BILLION to save 'up to 10 minutes' during peak traffic. Fucking hell - imagine what that $4B could do for housing, education, health, etc, in Aotearoa.
