Perhaps idiot politicians doing this kind of thing should be prevebted from using any other health system except our own public health system - what's left of it - until they fix the damn thing....?

Willis said that in her new role as Minister for Economic Growth she will be helping NZ to "Cook with gas".   She may not be the Environment minister (yet...) but one would think that her degree in Eng Lit would give her pause for thought before voicing such an unfortunate metaphor.

Nice change from doom & gloom - NZ has developed the smallest brain implant ever; well done us!  Its for hydrocephalus which can develop later in life or it can be something you're born with.
