No, sorry, I mean, fucking Christ, how many nurses is that we could have kept in ANZ? How many radiologists/radiographers is it? Enough to clear the eight-month wait list for a basic CT?
As Craig Renney revealed to a shocked Dr Gary Payinda, Te Whatu Ora underspent its wages budget by $500m which has been signed off by Willis & returned to general coffers. Let that sink in. The money was there, but they deliberately underspent. On orders?

Despite warnings, between 1 Feb – 3 Oct 2023, 26 inspections found effluent being discharged from a piggery to adjacent land then flowing into streams that flow to the Waihou River. Yes, they’ve been fined, but it's repeated environmental & health vandalism and the piggery can still operate 🧵
Watch: Raw effluent from piggery gushes into local streams

Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?
