Southland Hospital is losing both of its urologists. This means patients from Southland will need to travel to Dunedin, where there's already a shortage of urologists.
Health NZ is making the usual soothing noises... 'our focus is on patients' while doing nothing practical to sort the problem.
Who remembers Luxon claiming that National's massive cuts to the health service wouldn't affect front line operations? Because urology is as front line as it gets.

Gemstone Beach is about 70km NW of Invercargill, on the road to Te Waewae Bay and Tuatapere. It's famous for its colourful stones. Sapphire and garnet have been found on the beach.
Now a Queenstown dude called Michael Reedy has applied for a 10-year mining permit over 47ha of the beach. Locals are not amused.
"I don’t think one man should have that power over a tourist destination that brings money to our area."
The applicant insists there won't be any diggers or trucks.
"Mr Reedy said it was a non-mechanical operation and he would be walking up and down the beach looking for high-quality sapphires and gemstones.
"It won’t even include a spade. It will be just me and a bucket, walking down the beach."If that's the case, why does he need an "exclusive" mining permit when he can already remove stones just like everybody else?

A "high profile" Dunedin man has been convicted of dealing meth and possessing an arsenal of weapons. The man, aged in his 60s, has interim name suppression while he faces further charges. He was sentenced to just 22 months in pokie, which seems fairly light to me.
Oh... and he's already in jail for "other drug-related offending".

A couple more kiwi "sovereign citizens" have had their day in court.
Bradley & Michelle O’Donnell from Raglan decided they didn't need building consent or other formalities when they added an extra room onto their house. The couple refused to meet with the Council unless they were paid. The only document they produced was a "Māori sovereign authority" signed by somebody called ‘Piripi’.
The court said "Nah" and fined them $20k.
SovCits never win.

Sometimes, Apple's notarization of my Mac app takes longer than I'd like, but I found a thing that seems to get it insta-notarized and I am curious as to why it works and if I'm breaking something.

Sorry PM, but wearing a t-shirt over a suit and tie is not the cool look you were hoping for.
The man employs six social media 'advisors' and this is the best they can do?
It doesn't matter how much money you have, you can never buy style.

CW: Golf - Saudis bail from LIV
Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Bone Saw and his mates tried to take over world golf by throwing billions of dollars at their own LIV Golf show. They divided the golf world in a reputation-washing exercise to distract from their appalling human rights record and the fact that they dismember US journalists.
LIV has reportedly been losing £75 million (NZ$173m) every month and after four years, the Saudis are pulling the pin.
Because the world needs yet more chaos.

This ODT editorial is from last week but it's worth noting how strongly they come out against the coalition government's all-out war on clean vehicles and a cleaner environment.
Soon after taking office, National ditched the Clean Car Discount scheme, just as it was beginning to flip the fleet. Now they're killing the Clean Vehicle Standard to encourage the import of the dirtiest vehicles. They're willingly sacrificing NZ's environment, merely to line the pockets of a handful of vehicle importers.
As the ODT says, Luxon's government is "prioritising private interests over the nation's future."

National's watering down of methane limits has rightly attracted international condemnation for its ignorance and its complete disregard of climate change.
Naturally farmers are ecstatic that their right to pollute for another 25 years has been preserved. Sure, the climate is getting wilder and that might lead to an extinction event, one day. But short-term profits are more important. Right?
Wrong.
Today's ODT editorial describes National's dirty moves as "a loss for sensible policy making." On a positive note, they suggest this bad legislation is unlikely to survive a change of government.

Today's ODT editorial is entitled "Dim energy announcement" and it's a good one, critical of the Luxon government's backwards leap towards fossil fuels and their inability to come up with any viable plan.
"When it finally arrived, the government’s big announcement on the energy sector had all the oomph of a low-watt bulb."
