Having homeless people is a choice made by governments. This has been something multiple govts have decided to do to people, not just this one. Likewise, it is something govts could choose to prevent if they actually cared about people.

And what does it mean for Governor of the RBNZ, who is a woman? A predictable cascade of gendered harms. Her competence is questioned, appearance mocked, legitimacy challenged, and fundamental right to hold position attacked. This is a Trumpian cadance, that now has foothold in New Zealand. #nzpol

“We completely blew out the value of a life. I’ve never seen such a high value put on life.”
Worldwide mortality experience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2024) shows excess deaths over that period in almost every country measured. Australia (+6%) was below average, and New Zealand (+0.1%) the lowest we measured.

Shanan has set out our position: we think that the people who make health care decisions should be the person concerned, their medical/health carers, and where appropriate their parents, guardians or caregivers. Politicians shouldn't be involved.
