The return of Angry Andy

[king1]

To a National troll probably not - but most reasoned and informed individuals will consider all parts of a discussion. 

It wasn't really an argument I was making though, simply a statement of fact - if anything just to make the point that no-one is perfect, not even the mighty Nat overlords...

Well surely you can defend poor Andy?  I mean he spent $60 mil to recover a burnt loader and a few bone fragments from a mine he declared was safe to enter.  Except it wasn't.  

And now he is making a hash of health.  Blasts GPs, blasts nurses and their union, blasts DHBs, blasts doctors - been working on Pike River too long - thinks blasting is the best way to go.  Goes on TV and declared things are settling down - they weren't.     

But hey you deflect to your but, but, but National! argument.  If you get tired of that you can always roll out the Nine years of neglect or sewage running down the walls options.

But seeing as you bought up housing - if Labour declared housing in Crisis in 2016 what would you call it now?  Housing Armageddon?  Housing apocalypse?

I really don't care that much, but we are living in unique times so not surprising there is pressure on systems.  I certainly don't feel the need to defend him, but resorting to name calling seems just a tad childish...

At the risk of opening up another avenue of emotive blasting, there are health reforms in the pipeline, as you are aware - I know I couldn't do a job of this magnitude so I will refrain from criticising those that take on the role. I have first hand experience of the delays and problems in the health sector, so I do agree that change can't come fast enough...

As for housing I would still call it a crisis for now, but from what I gather things are settling down on that front as well.  Although there has been less in the news about homeless living on the streets so that has to be a good thing.   Things are definitely changing, but what is 'normal' is also changing, more people renting etc
