Bringing back prescription fees could lead to jump in hospital admissions, study shows. #nzpol
There is very little fiscal prudence from this govt. All their so called belt tightening is about cutting services to handover the savings to people with already overstuffed pockets.

Secrecy shrouds 'fast track' projects as submissions close
Not even the MPs supposed to be scrutinising the Fast Track Bill are allowed to know which projects could bypass rules.

But the operational review we have done of WW indicates some significant concerns and recommendations to fix them. I want to see more specific outcomes attached to funding

This is anti-*governance* arguably at a level beyond what even Johnson was trying to pull in the UK with some of his norm-defying actions. We have checks and balances like this regarding legislation for a *reason*. There's no basis for this unless they want to actively harm things.
Second leak.
And it reveals the government doesn’t want to have the standard checks in place on its first pieces of legislation.

Dump anti-smoking.

Prime Minister-elect Chris Luxon wants to woo Big Oil and overturn Jacinda Ardern’s ban on oil exploration.
But he has a fight on his hands.
We know there can be NO new oil exploration if we are to avoid total climate collapse, and we won’t stand for it👇
