I woke up this morning and found that a doctor in Rafah wrote me in the middle of the night:

"I just wanna say something from here under fire...after so many times for displacement
It seems that our next exodus is a displacement to heaven"

I don't know if he is dead or alive.

'Social investment' doesn't mean 'cuts'. They are being required to make cuts, and directed to use 'social investment' (i.e. normal evaluation methods) as a way to decide what to cut. 'Social investment' as a theory overall would tell you invest more in our failing, underfunded services.
Looks like 'social investment' round 2 is going to feature large in next month's Budget - & that Coster means well. Yet this is such a deeply flawed approach - cut funding for public housing, school lunches, disability etc - while slashing ability of community to respond. #nzpol #kikorangi
Social investment means funding reprioritisation, more changes to services
Social Investment Agency chief executive Andy Coster says 'hard messages' are coming down the line, as the Govt beds in its flagship policy
