    Default Ardern Broken Promises Costing lives

    A miserly $21m to extend breast cancer screening to save up to 65 lives a year but Ardern broke her 2017 promise to implement it.

    She has plenty of money though to give 'cost of living' payments to overseas recipients (est $30m) and $56m to throw away at the abandoned cycle bridge for Auckland.

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/labour...KMUZWXVWCMX2A/

    Excerpt :

    "Andrea Dorn had been a faithful National Party supporter until 2017 when Labour promised to extend free breast cancer screening for women up to 74 years old.

    Her mother, Audrey, was diagnosed with breast cancer later in life so when Jacinda Ardern's party committed to the extension that could save up to 65 lives a year, Andrea turned red and voted Labour.

    "In 2016, the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ presented a 10,000-signature petition to Ardern to extend free screening and it was later included as one of five health priorities in the 2017 coalition document agreed by Labour and New Zealand First. Despite its priority status, the extension had not been implemented."

    There is literally no need for this to be a new thread. Take it to the other two threads you already have for your Jacinda bashing!

    To be expected from you, JAK - open your eyes and take on the truth.

    But I forget - you cannot handle the truth.

    Remember how Ardern & Labour were going to fix the Mental Health 'Crisis'?

    Well, they threw money at it with their usual reckless spending with no accountability or transparency and the net result is yet another broken system, costing lives.

    Have a look at how bad the situation has become under Ardern - 45% increase in anti-depressants prescribed to 15 - 24 years old and 59% increase for 5 - 14 years old.



    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/great-...BEOYQW26WLWL4/

    Excerpt :

    "Government documents and data obtained by the Herald reveal there have been significant increases in the past two years in the numbers of young people presenting to EDs after self-harm or suicide attempts and experiencing acute, complex conditions such as anxiety and eating disorders."

    "They bounced between an understaffed public system that is overburdened with children even more acutely unwell than Lucy, and a private market that is also desperately short of the expertise needed to help young people with complex conditions."

    "They took her to their family doctor, who referred Lucy to a private psychiatrist and psychologist. The waiting list for the psychologist was five weeks. The wait to see the psychiatrist was five months."

    Feel honoured Balance.

    JAK stated she put the bad boys on ignore.

    You obviously didn't get on the list.

    Or maybe you were, but absence made Jak's heart fonder.

    Correct. He is on ignore. But sadly, that doesn't stop his completely unnecessary new thread, from showing up. All it does it clutter the forum up with multiple threads discussing the same thing. So yes, I replied to his post to express that. Didn't need to take him off ignore to do that.

    Welcome to my ignore list.

    Any chance of that ignore list being published, so we can add it to our CV's?

    Nah. It doesn't discriminate. People of all political affiliations are welcome. So far, you don't meet the brief sorry.

    If the list gets too long, be careful not to break the site programming
