Firefighters return to out-of-control wildfire in Tongariro National Park Dozens of hikers, lodges and centres around the national park have been evacuated, while a nearby highway remains closed.

Unlike the trees in australia who can bounce back after fire, these will not respond as fast, be interesting to see what a before and after will show. Big effects for the native wildlife too.

Corporate contracts and subcontracting taxes out should not be our future. Let's vote for real change and a better economy.

Pharmac wants to trim its controversial medicines waiting list - no list at all might be better Pharmac currently has 123 medicines on the Options for Investment list - but is there a better way?

This is screaming another lot of poor practice by an agency with the power to massively improve lives

I'm sure Brian tamaki is an expert on unlawful disruption right in the name of free speech.

Data breaches, poor practices, more expensive visits is the vibe I'm getting if they get the contract.

Exactly the opposite of what's needed.

FENZ aims to save $50m a year: 'We can't keep doing everything for everybody' Fire and Emergency is considering cutting jobs and "stopping or slowing" activities in a bid to save money.

FENZ aims to save $50m a year: 'We can't keep doing everything for everybody' www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Ministers in charge, pull your bloody heads in, you don't cut money to emergency services without risking lives to communities

I'm more concerned if it ends up being between TPM and NZ first, greens probably will be closer to act on current polling numbers. Agree with your second point. Hopefully the voter turnout is bigger than last time.

Some urgency required in the first 100 days for sure then hopefully crack on to working on the big tick items, lets hope no socially bad deals are required by the 3rd coalition party.

A lot of work by the left to do if they get in

Emergency services in NZ what are you doing, was there a fault in this truck you didn't inform the branch of. You're looking very suspect here

He was proud to help launch it, but now minister won’t step in to save this mental health service β€˜Putting lives at risk’ - mental health service facing closure after government funding dries up

www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Open clinic, decrease funding enough to possibly close. More risk.

I don't want to sound alarmist but I'm pretty sure they're trying to not find the bullies and such with this announcement.
