“ethnicity is a lottery.” Oh indeed it is. I am of an ethnic minority that suffers poorer health outcomes than others. The reasons are complex, and require more nuanced solutions than race based preference.
IMHO Trans women are not women. And no, the point of Incognitos reply was to use their mod privilege to bully people they disagree with. They have form.
Woman can’t get prostate cancer.
There is also a 5 year gap between Asian males and the male population as a whole. Perhaps non Asian males should get their super earlier, or get priority for medical care.
“Without knowing how many have had them it isn't possible to tell that.” Had what?? This is about the number of people waiting for first assessments. An aging population cannot account for a 16 fold increase in 2.5 years.
An aging population doesn’t explain a near 17 fold increase in people waiting for first specialist assessments.
This op piece casts more light on the situation: https://businessdesk.co.nz/article/opinion/healthcare-the-next-policy-mess-that-needs-to-go-on-hipkins-bonfire-1 “In December 2019, NZ had 253 people waiting more than 12 months for their first specialist ...
The claim was ‘the change has been seamless’. This is easily refuted, as there have been numerous examples of transition problems with TWO, including inaccurate and out of date data (https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/491572/health-data-out-of-date-after-...
The Platform has been given a document dump by Foon, and he’s on with Sean Plunkett at 9.00 tomorrow morning.
‘Seamless’? Are you joking?
This piece of shit sexually abused a young girl for years, and he gets to go home with an ankle bracelet. I hope the victim gets the help to deal with not only his offending, but this piss poor excuse for a sentence.

“That's a move that many of them in my experience do not find so hard after all. “ I agree. “.,.people who have convinced themselves that they are not really ideological at all, but are simply interested in 'solutions'. “ They may also be tired of the old ...
Thanks Observer. I’ve tried the search criteria you suggested, and don’t get the Twitter thread. I do get the Herald link, but it’s behind a paywall, so not much use unless you’re a subscriber.
Previous TM polls seem to have been covered by media about a week after the end of the polling period. There is no current media coverage of the poll Ian refers to, not a whisper, so it will be interesting to see if he comes back with a source. TM do ...
Not diverting at all. The comment about Hipkins hypocrisy was directly related to Louis claim about Luxons ‘blatant hypocrisy’. [Actually, you were diverting and now you are wasting Moderator time, as you’ve done so many times before and which I already ...
Yes yes yes you believe the journo uncritically. You are still unable to provide a shred of evidence beyond those musings.
“You ignored the part where the Labour govt completed the project that National had announced 8 years ago …” The hypocrisy is not in completing it, it’s in celebrating it with a photo op. It’s so obvious.
Where did I say they had given up? Breathtaking ignorance in your part not to understand what they have contributed.
Or perhaps the 70 somethings are worldly wise. They have learned the danger of excessive debt and poor quality spending. They are less idealistic and more interested in actual outcomes. Many have fought for social change, protested against the excesses of ...
Media have not ‘quoted Luxon’ about ‘ordering’ a Tesla’. If they had, you could quote it, which (again) I note you haven’t. And the journalist who made the claims about Luxon being talked out of something had provided no evidence, just their own reackons. ...
You’re compromised by bias. Criticising a project and labelling it a ‘holiday highway’, but being happy to enjoy the photo op, is rank hypocrisy.
So you say. And a reporter. Here’s another report. https://theplatform.kiwi/opinions/media-ignore-the-real-story-behind-luxon-s-tesla-rejection
But hey, if you want hypocrisy, try Hopkins opening the “holiday highway” up north. [You must be mighty proud of yourself successfully diverting from Luxon’s faux pas to Labour’s alleged hypocrisy. Clearly, you’re not getting the traction & result you want...
Luxons words didn’t slag off Tesla owners. Which is why you’re avoiding quoting them yourself.
What does whether he or his wife owns a Tesla have to do with whether he ordered one on the taxpayer??
What ‘facts’? Plenty of reskins by journalists.
Quote Luxons actual words, not a journalists reackons..
Re-quoting a journalist. What next? And still no evidence he slagged off Tesla owners.
Meanwhile, back to the topic… margins are a function of price. Prices are set by the market. There are plenty of sources of supermarket based products outside the ‘duopoly’. Shop around, it’s fun.
The market.
