The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...

"A leading member of the Iwi Chairs Forum has slammed the Māori and Green parties for voting against Labour’s three waters reform.
The Greens voted against the third reading of the Water Services Entities Bill last night because the Government had second thoughts about the constitutionality of an entrenchment clause aimed at stopping future privatisation, while the Maori Party says the bill failed to recognise Maori ownership of water.
Outgoing Te Rarawa chair Haami Piripi says that’s a vote for the status quo, which entrenches white privilege.
“Those privileges have been allocated to different elements of our community and society which have promoted their development. They get the water first. There’s been a whole history of marginalisation and I’m just amazed the Maori Party can vote for white privilege. I’m more amazed the Greens can vote against an environmental issue in support of a financial one,” he says.
Te Rarawa and other Muriwhenua iwi have been fighting to get the water they need to develop land returned in their treaty settlements."

I do have some doubts about the future medical care of the child, which is likely to be ongoing for some time unless the parents ‘complicate’ things.
That's interesting.
Interesting that agents of the state are drip feeding the morsels into the public domain so we can keep tossing our reckons about and reinforce our biases.
Your comment makes zero sense.
Seemed straight forward, it is the state that is releasing information about this sad affair.
Arguably, none of our business.
RNZ is reporting on a case of high public interest.
Your comments make zero sense.
Those humble quiet people Sue Grey and Liz Gunn have nothing to do with the initial or ongoing coverage..

Former Prime Minister Sir John Key mobbed after hole-in-one at charity golf match – NZ Herald
So what! At the 19th hole at a golf course near you there are holes in one being celebrated often.
And Wayne Brown is silent on looking at selling golf courses in his asset hunt but has his eye on those terrible, terrible places called childcare facilities not to mention the Auckland Art Gallery.

The Health and Disability Commissioner has released a decision on a Dr who sent a text to 600 of his patients advising against the Covid vaccination and referring them to New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science (NZDSOS) for further information.

The HDC made these recommendations
The Commissioner has also asked for the follow-up action
Good.
I'm curious what the professional and ethics training would be. Obviously there is a breach in texting patients with one's personal views like this. He's also wrong about the comparison with the flu, so is there's a competency issue there.
Theoretically it should be possible to do the ethics training without making it about vaccines are always safe. Hard to see this happening with such polarised views. eg if the training is 'you have to accept the conventional view on covid vax' rather than 'your behaviour has to conform to these standards even if you disagree with covid vax'
Apparently one was well known for his obdurate vaccination views, so there were 2 more? They should be named imo.
Sounds like Dr B and Dr C are expected to put guidelines in place so Dr A can be told not to cross those lines again. I would think they are the more senior or directors of Dr A's practice, not that they are accused of doing anything wrong themselves. I'm also assuming the above was largely quoted so the specific wordings are significant.
that's my reading (without having read the whole document). I would guess that in many GP clinics in NZ it's currently possible for a GP to do what Dr A did. Training and development of good practice hasn't really kept up with the technological advances eg texting.
The report says there was no breach by Dr B and C.
