  The Arsonists in charge of our health system
Posted by: Lilith7 - 04-05-2025, 07:01 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (50)

BHN, Dr Gary Parminder...hits the nail on the head. This delightful govt - long term  they're aiming for privatising health; we have got to get these empathy free, money crazed idiots out of govt next time.

A Govt which is helping no one - except its wealthy donors & mates. Dodgy Angry

  Hundreds protest gender legislation in Dunedin
Posted by: Lilith7 - 04-05-2025, 11:26 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (19)

Hundreds gather in Dunedin to protest proposed gender legislation.

Winston claiming its 'woke & leftist' to allow them the exact same status the rest of us have. While I think we may need a specific category for transgender sports people in sports events, they are & should be entitled to the very samer rights we all have.

  Trump appointed rules AGAINST removing Venezualan migrants to El Salvador
Posted by: Lilith7 - 02-05-2025, 01:28 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - No Replies

Very interesting ruling, coming from a Trump appointee; Trump does NOT have authority for removing people - the Alien Enemies Act can only be used in time of war. And America isn't at war with Venezuala.
Can we expect a  tantrum from the Orange Peril at any minute...?


I'd like to think they'll now have to return every last person they've removed, supply them any medical care (free) caused by the trauma & even pay those & their families some compensation.
But I won't hold my breath.

  ICE agents traumatise mother & daughters, confiscate cash, phones
Posted by: Lilith7 - 02-05-2025, 12:04 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - No Replies

I think these agents have perhaps studued how the Gestapo behaved. A US citizen family had their phones, laptops & cash (their life savings) confiscated by ICE idiots conducting a search warrant - for someone else.

Hard to believe, the comments are worth a quick look especially the fact that Biff in Back to the Future movie was modeled on Trump.

  Minister 'disingenuous' over ICU beds
Posted by: Lilith7 - 30-04-2025, 04:07 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (6)

What, a politician being not entirely truthful??! Rolleyes Big Grin

Its difficult to avoid believing that this delightful govt really wants to change to a private health system, preferably tomorrow.

Simeon Brown claimed that Dunedin hospital was not  losing Intensive care beds, despite govt cutting the nnumbers from 30 to 20, because both the original & new plans have the intention to expand to 4o. 
Eventually. Possibly. If Dunedin is really really, good. And really,really lucky.
