I swear the right-wing of NZ govt is getting even more shameless, with the attitude that they don't have to answer to the public.
They absolutely do. They work for us, not the other way around.

#nzpol and she refused to be interviewed! It’s barely mentioned in the article. Left wing politicians would be harangued for this. Why is there always a double standard?
#nzpol the tobacco industry loves this government… hang your head in shame Dr CigaReti www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-dept...

“Former Pharmac board member Dr Anthony Jordan told Stuff he wrote to board chairperson Paula Bennett that night, resigning effective immediately, because he believed the new directive ignored “clear evidence” that the agency’s Treaty considerations had improved the health of New Zealand.” #NZpol

Clear evidence that our rat-shit government has been captured by BigTobacco. Truly shameful and disgusting. Clear lines between donations, ‘briefings’, ‘marketing propaganda’ and legislative change in ways the companies want. Cabinet is full of turds. 💩

How could anyone believe Paula Bullshit that a) increasing use of medicines/devices WILL lead to overall cost-savings (rather than improved outcomes at higher cost), b) Seymour’s letter isn’t a racist dogwhistle and c) ‘advocates’ (often ghost-funded by industry) will ‘improve decisions’. Lies 💩

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

The odds of the gunman being a right wing wacko and not a left wing wacko just went up *exponentially*, if he’s now getting the Misunderstood Little White Boy treatment by CNN.
The gunman who allegedly tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was bullied in high school and didn’t fit in with other students, former classmates told CNN. Here's what we know so far.
