Last night we were about to have dinner when a loud tick tock came from the living room. It was the metronome atop the piano happily tocking away. No one - animal or human had been in the room and the metronome had sat unused for months. 😳 I’d love a rational answer to this!…please

The government is run by NZF and ACT and Luxon is just their very incompetent junior press secretary who only got the job cause his dad is a mate of someone in the party.

As I retired GP I have experienced this with family members not removing access to a vehicle in spite of me notifying Waka Kotahi and their licence being removed. People with dementia can forget!! I had to explain that I could get the police to remove the car if they didn’t.
For those of you who know my involvement in motorsport + caring for an impaired elder, I can’t underline this enough.
Evaluation from the family doctor & if they lose their licence, you MUST remove their vehicle. Dm me if you struggle with this.

Unbelievably insulting and serves to show how childish and ill equipped for their jobs these two are. Public health doctors and other health workers give their professional lives for a poorly paid job to advance the health and well being of the community
So the deputy prime minister and the minister of health have no real idea what “public health” actually means, nor what public health officials do.
That’s shameful & embarrassing to be honest. If public health officials can’t comment on issues that affect public health, we’re SO fucked.
