We need free RAT tests
We need Covid booster uptake - and availability for under 30s
We need clean air
We need to encourage masking
We need media reporting

Our health system is at breaking point now - and a wave will come.

NZ Herald: "An average registered nurse's after-tax pay will fall under the Green Party's tax plan By Thomas Coughlan 17 May, 2025"

92% of people who pay tax in this country would get a tax cut under the Greens' budget. So what angle does NZ Herald's Thomas Coughlan take? He says some nurses could pay an extra $3 more a week because of recent pay equity gains. Pathetic.
