I really don’t get this gov. Populist distraction? I guess they’re cutting health system budget by a similar amount so hoping less accidents in EDs to offset some? Ridiculous in any case. I’m all for prevention of accidents and other preventative health policies. The motivations here are blurry.
All good questions. I’m guessing RNZ may have the police association on the blower this week. See what they have to say. After last week’s exchange with the (former) gun lobbyist MP accusing the police assoc of being a lobby group (lol), I’ll be getting the popcorn out.
