Despite the clear similarity to an actual cut, this is apparently
not a cut. At all. Not even slightly.
120 Wellington families have lost access to respite care support, but according to ministers this is not a cut -
because the programme's budget was intact.

Satire is all well and good for smuggling political miscreances into the public's attentions but the situation we have in front of us presently would be far better addressed by way of quality mainstream journalism. That is what we're really lacking.
And our glorious leader & his matesĀ seem not at all bothered by that, in fact quite the opposite - it suits them very well. Surely there must be a better system, something to keep ALL politicians on the straight & narrow.
