“1News’ Tom Day broke down all the big moves here, explaining that Simeon Brown – who has undoubtedly been one of the government’s top performing ministers – will swoop in to try and steady the health ship.”
On what basis has Simeon been top performing? His decisions and direction have been ideology driven, go against available evidence and I believe at least have worsened the outlook for NZ’s low productivity. Or does this mean politically, as in number of positive New Zealand Herald headlines and National party conference standing ovations?
My Auckland relatives were surprised to hear how angry we are in the South Island about how we feel ignored by this government. It's all Auckland, Auckland, Auckland..........
What you and many other commentators seem to have overlooked is that Simeon Brown is seen by many as too ideological and rigid in his approach to the Transport portfolio as exampled by his almost exclusive devotion to expensive faster road for cars, ignoring climate change remediation and the safety progress already showing from lower speed limits and raised crossings. He may have been shifted because his thinking was so rigid.
Well at least we now know who the out-of-his-depth Luxon sees as the Minister most likely to roll him this year. Go Simeon - it can't come soon enough!

"get the job done" - destroying the public health system so it can be privatised? The most anti-community government ever.

I believe an appointment of a Minister for the South Island is a huge insult. Reducing its importance as if it is about the size of Rakiuru..
If that’s the best the coalition can do God help us to see out the rest of their term

Cracks me up that you’ve use the relative pronoun ‘that’ instead of ‘who’ for the rude porn star. He sounds like a jerk but he’s still a human.,
Oops
I mean, maybe it was on purpose haha!
