      Exactly. This isn't about Pharmac at all. It's about tinkering with the treaty. How many more experts UN ecetera have to state the Treaty is the founding document as it stands.
      Yet here we are yet again trying to exclude Maori. It Unlawful and he knows it. And Michael Laws knows it so he groveling over the 4th article. Shamefully so.

If it is a one health system for all equality and needs based approach you are after that’s fine but then let’s go all the way and actually not let any groups of people have an advantage over another when it comes to accessing healthcare. Why did we allow people to profit off people’s health?
      Surely in a needs based system, those with the most disadvantages have the greater need, which according to the data over decades Maori would be one of the key disadvantaged groups.

    Disagree on Government not owning things like the railways or ministry of works etc. What needs to change is the thinking that such endeavours need to run at a profit like a corporation does, as a country is not a corporation, its job is a service provider to all residents, including job creation. A government department will never be efficient, such is the nature of bloated bureaucracy.
    They now spend billion's on consultancy and fund corporate profits E.g Fulton and Hogan, who never seem to fully open roads before sucking at the teat again, in order to repair their last crap constructions, yet the old MOW built solid roads and were generally able to keep them pothole free.
    Thus far all the colours of the political rainbow - (yeah and even that beautiful word and image is now politically charged) are all useless short term thinkers. I use the word 'thinkers' loosely.

    Back to the private sector so more money can go into shareholders and CEO's pockets and less money going into customer service. The Pandemic ruined the aviation industry that's why Luxon bailed out .
    Seymour is full of B.S as usual. Air Nz. 52% owned by government- is one of the few airlines that managed to remain profitable through the global financial crisis and immediate aftermath without Luxon. Air NZ is still reaping profits with a near record NZ$390 million last financial year, of course without Luxon and total privatization, and that's why the likes of Seymour wants it to go private so he and his mates can get their sticky little fingers on profitable stock, (insider trading).. so Seymour is spouting nonsense as usual and needs to do some research before he opens his mouth

      Jesus tell me you know absolutely nothing without telling me.

Don't accuse others of opening their mouth talking nonsense while literally doing just that.
