Insights From Social Media


Victoria Slapper writes > Some of you may have had a text from the Labour party over the last few days who is rubbishing the NZ Health system. They are blaming this government for not having enough health care workers and the health system in disarray.

I have a story to tell.

Three years ago (See the video below) we had 1,000 nurses leave NZ for Australia.

We had twenty doctors a month leaving for Australia.

We had radiographers walking out to Australia, we also had anesthetic techs leaving for Australia - All of these left NZ en masse THREE years ago.

This was the time when they were told to brace for the governments new Health make over. Millions and millions spent on new signs, new letter heads, new branding, going from Health NZ to Whata Ora. We are talking more than half a BILLION dollars on rebranding. Not on the care of patients, not on surgery, not on reducing wait lists or ED times.........it was for Signage and Stationary.

Then the Maori 'consultants' were hired to teach staff how to answer phones correctly. How to address Maori patients correctly, how to ensure Maori patients were seen above everyone else. It was at THAT stage, more staff starting handing in notices. Queues were getting bigger, people were desperate for heathcare and yet printing a new name and answering a phone came above all else. **Please note I do NOT blame Maori for this - Maori were not consulted in this new radical overhaul, they were not advised of the fallout that would ensue when staff were told to "treat who we say you will or funding will be reduced"

When a staff member insisted the 80 year old with a suspected broken pelvis should wait while the Maori with a suspected broken finger go first, tempers were rising from within. Again, Maori had no knowledge of what was happening or why.

By September of that year, surgeons were then told operations were going to be based on race rather than need. It was then the surgeons kicked up a media outcry - only a surgeon could say who should be operated on and in what order - NOT the government.

More and more moved to Australia - my son included. After 6 years at an Auckland hospital, collapsing at work doing double shifts, 28 days straight, he had reached his limit, as had his colleagues.

He was leaving, he was offered a place in Melbourne, his partner was also in healthcare and she too was going with him.

He and many of those before him were paid more, to work less hours, they were valued, they were respected.

So now, when I hear Labour and Twyford of West Auckland are arranging a bitch session in West Auckland to rubbish this government, it makes me SICK.

What we have is Labours disaster.

Am I lying? Watch the video below from THREE years ago and make up your mind.

Appalling two faced Phil Tywford needs a reality check, dragged into the hospitials where we are trying to deal with the one thousand six hundred staff that left NZ because of Labour.

Sorry for the rant people but it p*sses me off the hypocrisy of their text would be funny if it wasn't just downright lies

Thank you for your blunt and detailed comments. It took the Labour gummint under Aden & co to tip NZ into disarray [and don't blame Covid - that was purpose-led by WEF wannabees] ... and give the radical fool Moris their opportuniddy to gut the country. Bravo for your bravery in speaking thus..

Yes we tend to forget how much we gasped at the antics of Twyford and Andrew Little. Imagine what half-baked ideas he would try to inflict on Wellington if he got the Mayoralty. He won't get it. Even Wellingtonians have seen through the crazy left politicians. Surely. Please God.
