If Hipkins really wants a quick fix for the election here's one. Subsidise doctors visits by 90 % .This will free up ED. And keep a bit of revenue coming in. Our Dr. charges $60 for 15 min with a 4 week lead in to an appointment so if its urgent where would we go ? ED charges nil too. If thats our situation its everyones. But as Labour doesn't give a rotund rodent's rectum about anything except their own well being expect nothing and you'll get it

Scripts get sent electronically to my local chemist. Can't even remember the last time I went to a Dr and they needed to actually touch me.

Michael Bassett on Hipkins, saying what I and many others have said about Labour's shelved policies www.bassettbrashandhide.com/post/michael-bassett-hipkins-and-his-policy-deferralssome excerpts, on policies The media became very excited when new Prime Minister Chris Hipkins announced some policy changes a few weeks back. Weak reporters like Claire Trevett were ecstatic. Even lesser lights talked of ābonfiresā of unpopular policies and hailed the emergence of a new Ministry. In truth, all that can be said is that they were rushing to boost Hipkins. But the reality is that all of the old policies are still around, and will be dragged out of the cupboard again if this Labour government is re-elected in October. In his clever cartoons, Garrick Tremain keeps making this point. Those of us who find co-governance divisive and racist, must not overlook the fact that it is still there in the remodeled health system, in Three Waters, and in the great confused heap that is David Parkerās attempt to restructure the Resource Management Act. And the Prime Minister is on record recently saying that he wants to push that bill into law before the election.and on Hipkins This is where we need to consider Chris Hipkinsā role in the mess that has piled up over the last six years. As one of the most senior ministers since 2017, he was directly responsible for education where standards have been in freefall since he came into office. Exam expectations for NCEA have been reduced twice, a bogus New Zealand history syllabus was signed off, and all school children are led to believe that Maori have always been treated as second-class citizens. It was under Hipkins that truancy from school grew into an epidemic. As Minister of Police, he then presided over a scene where retail crime mushroomed and there were growing numbers of fire arms offences plus ram raids. As Minister of State Services, Hipkins was responsible for the confused Public Service Act that was passed under urgency before the 2020 election. Poorly drafted, that Act put an unelected official, now called the Public Services Commissioner, in charge of state services, ending the previous world where democratically-elected ministers are in charge of the bureaucracy in their departments. As Roger Partridge of the New Zealand Initiative has pointed out, there isnāt even a clause in the new Act making it clear that the Public Services Commissionerās principal function is to assist the government to implement its policy agenda. The new reality is that state services are no longer directly accountable to any government. Can we be surprised that the number of state servants has ballooned under this regime, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions more for worse services?

Interesting, an opinion piece in Stuffed savaging Hipkins, they must be sensing the change in political wind www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2023/05/damien_grant_on_hipkins.html Hipkins had achieved almost nothing by the time he entered parliament, and in the 15 years since has left nought but a trail of mistakes and missed opportunities.
Even if you believe in the policies of this government, it is impossible to credibly believe that they have the competence to implement anything other than a campaign to encourage the poor to have shorter showers because the electricity infrastructure has deteriorated to the point that rolling blackouts are a real prospect.
Luxon isn't my first choice for prime minister, but he has the managerial competence and intellectual curiosity to actually govern. There has been too much focus on whether Luxon can win the election when we should be asking if he has the skills to competently perform the duties of the office, because it appears evident that the incumbent cannot.

I thought it was a weak article and looked like political bias to me. So to see the equivalent article on Hipkins just made me think they were balancing the ledger. I don't think either article added anything to the political debate or people's understanding of these two guys. That they are opinion pieces just makes it look like Stuffed are telling you what to think. Anyone worked out who the backers of Stuffed are yet? Sinead Boucher bought it for $1, since then no-one knows who is behind the angles they are working.
