    Sure, but I don't think Collins is Nationals only problem.

    As long as they allow Peter Goodfellow to hold his iron grip on the party and allow him to appoint his and his friends buddies to MP's without proper character check and without requiring leadership qualities National will stay screwed.

    As long as they pussy-foot with (more or less concealed) antivaxxers, conspiracy theory spreaders, gun lovers and activist farmers who fight for the right of town folks to cheaply drive big and for them absolutely useless SUV's they will stay for many unelectable. Certainly for me.

    Lots to tidy up ... and not sure whether any substance will be left when they remove all the scum in their party.

    They can't be said to be representative of the population either.

    F W de Klerk has passed away.

    He co shared a Nobel peace prize with Nelson Mandela, for abolishing apartheid in South Africa.

    What accolade is Jacinda expecting, for introducing apartheid in NZ?

    And for gifting NZ COVID for Christmas?

    It’s now spread to Taranaki and making its way to the South Island.

    Give a leftist government power and the power lust gene inherent in them manifests itself very quickly.

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/pol...r-three-deaths

    System is working well despite 3 deaths in self isolation within weeks of introducing the system!

    Andrew Little, Health Minister, said system overwhelmed because of unexpectedly higher numbers.

    Bloomfield & Robertson both said system is working well.

    Hipkins said he is not sure!

    So WTF is in charge?

    Where is Clueless Cindy?

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-...7YHFYA2FUG7CA/

    A broken system but MBIE & MOH stubbornly keeping to the MIQ system - they do not want to give up the control they have been given by Clueless Cindy.

    Resident SA peoples telling their fellow countrymen not to bother coming here anymore speaks volumes and says it all, if living in a corrupt/violent 3rd world country is as good as coming to live in NZ, thats a scary accolade.

    Healthcare services allowed to run down under Cindy’s hermit kingdom lockdown strategy - no medical staff allowed in over the last 18 months even while medical staff in NZ leave in increasing numbers to Australia and other countries who welcome them with open arms & relocation incentives.

    This is Cindy’s legacy to NZers - a clueless one dimensional lockdown approach to the virus which is now falling apart, placing the whole of NZ healthcare services at risk.

    A feverish 3-year-old boy coughing and having trouble breathing waited 11 hours overnight to see a doctor in Tauranga Hospital's emergency department, his father says.

    It appeared "they don't have any staff on - there's no people there. That's the problem".

    When they "finally" saw a doctor, he was "pretty good but he's under the pump".

    "The poor guy is run off his feet.

    The daughter of a man with Covid-19 who died while isolating at home believes her father was failed by the health system she works for.

    The 68-year-old father of seven, who was an imam at an Auckland Masjid, died at his Glen Eden home on Wednesday.

    Although coughing blood and too weak to move, the family said they waited to receive medical advice to take him to hospital, but that advice never came.

    This is NZ today under Cindy :

    Law abiding elderly citizens terrorised by gangs and anti-social state tenants are the ones being punished because of a directive from her racist government.

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/death-...VONUG4Y5N2DDY/

    Two pensioners claim they've fielded death threats from their state housing neighbours, including a Black Power gang member who allegedly threatened to slit an 82-year-old's throat and watch him "bleed out".

    The woman said a Kāinga Ora tenancy manager admitted the agency was powerless to evict antisocial tenants due to a "directive" that protected state housing clients.

    She was disgusted that people enjoying a taxpayer-funded property could terrorise residents without consequence or fear of eviction.

    The healthcare system is underfunded and understaffed and unprepared, despite NZ having had about a year to prepare for the inevitable covid in the community.

    Ardern promised not to introduce a CGT. Did she ever make a similar personal commitment to provide well-funded and well-staffed healthcare? I think the Labour priority for the Health System is for bureaucratic and administrative reform.

    She certainly did, even shedding crocodile tears about how the healthcare system had ‘failed’ NZers.

    Then, she cluelessly blundered and buggered around with the system & has made it worse!

    And as expected now from this government promising ‘transparency’ & ‘accountability’, a report on how things have gotten worse under Cindy was delayed until after the 2020 election.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...our-data-shows

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/pol...-will-be-heard

    The latest annual reports from the Office of Mental Health and Addiction Services were finally released on Wednesday, with data from 2018 and 2019. Their release had been repeatedly delayed, so until now the most recent data was for 2017, when the previous National party government was in power. This new data represents one of the first wide-reaching assessments of the mental health system under the current government – and social service agencies say it’s failing.
