Except no, we don't. We can access them online, if we have the internet and know how to use it. And can pay courier costs. And don't mind our local chemists disappearing as fast as bank branches.

I think the Nats should think this one through. Their voter base is heavy on the blue rinse numbers, and as we age we all start downing meds. Sure, they can afford it, but like the Winter Energy Payment they don't need I cannot see them being that happy at losing a universal benefit.

Ahh yes, the polls...
I'm not so sure they'll mind too much about the blue rinse brigade - they know they can't last much longer & won't be around to vote for them long term.
And polls can be dodgy things; the only one which counts is on voting day.
