WHAT??!!?!??!?? #Brownlow

Waiting for full election results a couple weeks is not a real inconvenience to anyone. It's a sad excuse for a govt trying to disenfranchise people to win a close election. I can read it no other way. If you can legitimately enrol/vote it shouldn't ever matter when you decide to

THE GREATEST THREE-QUARTER TIME COMEBACK IN AFL HISTORY IS COMPLETE ‼️ #AFLSaintsDees

He’s been subbed out. Even if properly recuced they’ll probably want to immobilise for 1-2 weeks and scan him to rule out any ligament/bone issues. I can’t see the Saints realistically using him again this season. #aflsaintsswans

First look that’s a disclosed posterior radial/ulnar dislocation for Butler. Extremely unlikely to be back after halftime – out for the season potentially. #aflsaintsswans

Congratulations Australia on receiving another 100,00 young New Zealanders in the most recent budget

@DrShaneRetiMP It doesn’t have to be like this. But we have a government that has chosen to prioritise tax relief for wealthy landlords over funding our health system. And the pressure the health system is under now is just the beginning. #nzpol

And it pains me to say all this because I’d love to stay and make a difference in Aotearoa as a doctor. But if this government and @DrShaneRetiMP don’t care, why should I?

There is no point starting my carer in a system that is critically understaffed, where junior doctors are underpaid with no OT pay or penalties, at hospitals that are leaking, or have lost speciality training accreditation (due to understaffing and poor infrastructure).

I’ve just finished my fourth year of medical school and in two years will be applying for graduate programs in Australia. People will say that being a doctor is a vocation and I should think of my community, but what’s the point of being patriotic if the government isn’t?

This government isn’t just gutting our current health workforce and infrastructure, they’re also driving the next generation of clinicians overseas. https://t.co/6S1BKQAhJj

We used to talk about privatisation by stealth. Now we just talk about privatisation. The cuts that this Government is prepared to make in the health sector will bleed for decades to come. https://t.co/i2pfuzcrg8 #nzpol

Devastating news. @UCI_cycling needs to take more steps to protect riders and ensure their safety when competing. #Zurich2024

Sir Ian Taylor didn't miss a beat with this op-ed. https://t.co/VWKkZfAscj

The National government has the wrong priorities. It’s scaling back the new Dunedin hospital, skimping on new facilities at Nelson Hospital and making cuts to hospital staffing and after-hours services. But there’s plenty of money for landlord and tobacco company tax breaks.

Massively irresponsible reporting. Chemotherapy is NOT 'conventional' treatment for stage 0 DCIS. Lumpectomy - which Elle Macpherson had - is the 'conventional' treatment and 10yr survival is 98% even without radiotherapy.

Can't find $24m to ensure accessible prescription medicines through the public health system for all New Zealanders, but can find $1.4b for tax cuts 👎

Pharmacists are right when they say this flawed policy that will just create unnecessary administrative burden for a small share of patients. The research (Norris 2023) demonstrates that copays increase health expenditure by increasing ED presentations and hospitalisations.

That 65+ group makes up a substantial proportion (over half) of all prescription volume in Aotearoa. Pharmac processes ~45m scripts per annually, so the Treasury costing shows that those 14-65 without CSCs they're targeting make up ~10% of all prescription volume.
