    When the small South Island town of Timaru and its cluster of US doctors hit the front page of the Wall Street Journal last week, it highlighted New Zealand's dependence on overseas doctors, particularly in rural and regional parts of the country.

  6. CW: Hallucinated Interruptions - AI in Timaru

    It's surprising how many people in Timaru rely on AI in their daily lives.

    People using Google's Gemini AI to search for "Timaru Hospital" received the correct result with contact details. But those searching for "Timaru Hospital phone number" were offered a direct line to a local café called Sopheze, 15-20 times a day for several weeks.

    Naturally Google didn't respond until media got involved.

  11. A Sovereign Citizen builds a swimming pool... and you'll never believe what happens next!

    In Timaru court Simon Richardt claimed he was "Simon in the living" -- the judge said he was not there to play “Simon says”. And the judge's final comment is a beaut.

    "Ignorance of the law is not a defence and neither is ignorance in general.”

    Fined $18,000.

  16. CW: Timaru Hospital Victory

    VICTORY!
    Health NZ's decision not to proceed with a proposed merger of South Canterbury's clinical leadership with Southern DHB, is a victory for local healthcare.

    Local National MP's are taking the credit but it was absolutely the people who stood up and said NO!

    So we must rename tomorrow's gathering the ‘CELEBRATION’. Our community’s voice was heard.

  20. Health NZ have plans to shift a number of management roles away from Timaru. I joined the protest against this on Saturday.
    I personally have had to use the services of different departments in our hospital. The last was a two night stay for treatment for a cat bite! Probably rather trivial to the needs of other patients. The staff were exceptional.
    We won't stand for anything less.

  25. CW: Hospital

    A substantial number of Timaru citizens stood opposite their hospital this morning and voiced their unity in keeping all management of the hospital in local hands. Organized by a local concerned about the rumblings of losing some vital management to Dunedin, speakers included a surgeon that sees this move as the first to diminish the capabilities and services the hospital offers to our community.
    Thanks to all that have taken a stand. There will probably be more to stand up for.

If the government was smart after yesterdays announcement by Alliance shutting down Smithfield they'd start a small team at WINZ in #Timaru in conjunction with local businesses and employment agencies on Monday and tell workers to register with it so the balls rolling on getting these people into other jobs before the closure or look at helping people relocate for employment they need to front foot this.

  47. And if you think I'm talking out my arse when it comes to #Timaru and Rooney I've seen multiple examples of one site getting shut down for something and Rooney doing the same thing and they do nothing because the local government is scared of him.

    It's like the alliance site I know for a fact that entire site is riddled with aspestos i promise you the local government will completely ignore were he dumps it when he bulldozes it.
