  David Seymour's hypocrisy over drugs & poverty
Posted by: Lilith7 - 07-07-2025, 03:46 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (11)

David Seymour wants more spending on pharmaceuticals like Wegovy because of the benefits to society, but isn't so keen on other forms of spending. 

Like child poverty. 

Despite big welfare funding increases showing that it leads to a noticeable drop in kids going hungry.

  Elon Musk launches political party
Posted by: Lilith7 - 06-07-2025, 03:51 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (2)

The America Party, but unsure if he's registered it as yet, plus he wasn't born in America & so is ineligible to run for the presidency.


Formed to 'give you back your freedom' apparently. Presumably, he doesn't do irony.. Rolleyes Big Grin

  NZ's 'invisible children'
Posted by: Lilith7 - 05-07-2025, 03:45 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (3)

The Helen Clark govt changed the laws & created this situation, supported by the National party. How the devil could they have not understood what would happen? The 2006 Citizenship amendment act changed things so that children born here no longer had automatic citizenship, so now although they can go to school here, they're unable to work or get further education.

This needs to be changed, & quickly, its deeply unfair. Dodgy

Agreed, it does not have to be this way. It wasn't always like this, driven by greed & selfishness. Dodgy Angry


Perhaps our govt could prioritise housing for homeless people..yep, I know.

  Health NZ accused of putting moneyahead of safety
Posted by: Lilith7 - 04-07-2025, 03:55 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - No Replies

Neo Liberalism is an evil system, we need to remove it from every country it exists in, starting here...

Dodgy Angry

Health NZ has been accused of putting money first by dropping a safe staffing agreement from its latest contract offer. It was dropped without explanation, demonstrating their emphasis on cost cutting, rather than patient safety.

If you have a deep need for privacy & a strong aversion to following the herd, the answer might be yes.
