Absolutely insulting, and certainly aimed at discouraging people from submitting, so lets keep getting them in. #nzpol
Government members on Finance and Expenditure Committee just voted to use an AI bot to read submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill🙄. Turns out democracy under this government is real people making submissions and computers reading them. 👎

Kia ora @health.govt.nz can we expect any public health comms regarding the sharp increase in covid seen in yesterday’s ESR wastewater reporting? Especially as NB.1.8.1 looks to making a rapid increase.
The majority of the public will not be aware of this.

Looks like another COVID wave is on its way so I just went and got boosted. Another layer of defence on top of my mask… Grateful I can still get vaccinated when so many, including our kids & under 30’s in NZ, can’t.

Sorry you are feeling so awful Hayley. 🩷 I really appreciate your mahi!
Day 3 of Covid: feeling absolutely abysmal.
Cannot believe* politicians aren’t pushing for free RATs and Te Whatu Ora aren’t pushing boosters ahead of a likely summer wave.
*Can absolutely believe it, NZ’s public health isn’t a thing we back politically anymore unless it’s focus group approved 🫠

I've just come out of a day of meetings about the puberty blocker consultation and one thing is absolutely clear: this is political interference. It is a directive given by Cabinet to MoH, and a decision Cabinet will make, not the clinical experts.
