I think Labour have a conference coming up - if you’re a Labour Party member and an ally please could you make this point:

It’s really hard to believe you’ll stand up for healthcare access for any community if there’s official silence now.

This is a test - and we’re already normalising silence.

Progressing conservative health positions over expert advice is not normal.

Allowing propaganda to stand without challenge is not normal.

It’s important to say so in order to challenge the erosion and support the trans community - and so that people can vote for those who will stand up for them.

Depends a bit on what you want to compare against and over what time period. If NZ had experienced the same excess death rate as the US or UK for 2020-23, we would have had (ball park) 15,000 more deaths than we did.

Yes. Yes. And Yes.

There is no plan. No alternative plan - despite assertions and promises for 18 months. And

asking one Counsel pointed out there literally isn't currently a NZ Health Plan, nor a Maori Health Plan, no Hauora Maori Strategy. . . Aargh!
