  1. "...10,000 patients had waited more than a year to see a specialist and a further 2,500 had then had to wait another year for treatment. "; "Some people are being denied elective surgeries that they would qualify for if they lived in a different region. " - and much more from The #Kākā by Bernard #Hickey <[email protected]> commenting favourably on the #1News report by #JessicaRoden. Some of us who have moved barely 100 km north have noticed the #postcode lottery too. #Healthcare in #NZ varies greatly with location.

  2. So NZ Royal Commission into Covid-19 drops its first beats a month ago;

    #HatTip to 1news.co.nz for prominent link to source at the top of the article.

    Unlike NZ Herald, who stuck it at the bottom. But they did give us a through summary of the findings (not a lot there for unreformed Ardernists);

    Turns out nonpartisan institutions and corporate news outlets sometimes do their job and tell the truth.

  3. Huge shout out to Mei Heron of 1News, and her cameraperson, Matt, for their coverage of the earthquake in Turkey. It has been exemplary and has brought the scale of the tragedy into such sharp focus here where we know a thing or two about earthquakes. Her focus on individuals and their stories has been the right approach. My heart breaks for the scale of the loss and destruction. I hope she gets an award for her coverage.
