With a health system under pressure, would you prioritise more timely access to care or promotion of the Treaty? Supporting mums and babies, or climate change?
Using the phrase "trumpian censorship" makes little sense. Trump is bringing a lot of things out into the light. We should join Trump in pushing back the stupid, or exposing deads of darkness.
“In Wānaka, Health NZ made an 8-page submission against a proposed fast food outlet, including observations about planetary health, landscape values, traffic and Te Tiriti. The submission did not mention healthy eating.”
Another example of a spurious & meaningless 'word salad' that in of itself is far more unhealthy than a piece of meat between two buns which we are happy to cook up on the BBQ!
Why should McDonalds come under greater scrutiny than any other takeaway, café, restaurant in Wanaka of which there are about 50!
Is it that they don't want the competition! It can't be about health given what people may be cooking up & eating at home!
A good point and sadly, this appears an example of trying to find any excuse to justify a conclusion - that is, we don't want this business so will attempt all and every argument ot stop it.
Sadly, I though this government was going to 'dial back & drill down' on WOKE!
In some respects they are worse than the previous Labour Govt whom we would expect that of! Luxon has lost the plot regarding the Treaty, DEI, the 'diversity' brainwashing, climate & gender! He is essentially continuing in Ardern's (UN) ways with a bit of tinkering to the economy! To what end?
He's as woke as any Labour politician!
NZ'ers have been fooled again, 'shame on us'!
This Govt & all political parties need to be challenged on their agendas & their policies!
For Democracy to work people need to be engaged & challenging what the Government does!
With a predominantly Left wing media, that can be a little harder to achieve! Hence the need for a growing alternative media which we do have NOW as in Simon's 'substack'!
There is a Globalist agenda to divide people based on race, gender, climate fear mongering, & flooding nations with illegal migrants & refugees! The old Marxist agenda/dialectic of working class vs 'ruling' class no longer works, for some time, so new ways of dividing people had to be devised as above!
So much money is being wasted on these ideological & fruitless divisions that we would have much more money for health if we rejected all the above, inclusive of 'carbon credits', mythical Treaty interpretations & hand outs, transgender surgery & our own 'USAID Live' nonsense, like money for whale songs for dying Kauri trees. The list goes on!

I think such phrases are simply 'signposts' as it were to the inherent bias in the media using it.

Oh thanks for clearing that up Simon…I thought doctors were having more censorship placed on them…but your post explains it clearly. Thank you!
