Thank you for sharing your heart with us Gary. Your passion for your work colleagues and your patients is obvious. You and other health workers are supported by a lot of New Zealanders who feel helpless to change things right now. Protesting the Government decisions and spreading the impact of bad decisions by Brown to as many as we can will help inform people. Our feet walking to the polling stations and voting will bring about a change of Government.

Brilliant commentary stating the facts of how the health system has been eroded financially by the Coalition Government and their intentions to privatise health.

Simeon Brown and other MPs should feel shame and hang their heads for what has happened to our health system m.

🫂 I've seen you being interviewed and making most of these points at other times, but when you string them all together like this it is even more outrageous to realise how OUR taxpayer $$ are being misused instead of being put into vital services needing funding - in this case literally life v death, and quality of life v unable to return to work. 👍 Keep up the good work - you are NOT alone as you are finding out, and you have a gift for explaining things that many of us struggle with 👏♥️

Gary did you hear media watch Sunday morning . Mike Hoskins and Christopher Luxon and Simeon Brown . Saying the public hospitals are heavily unionised . Basically making out we are lazy will only work to a certain schedule and then will cancel surgery . It was outrageous. I work at the largest hospital in Aotearoa and I can assure people the Health Professionals work hard and are dedicated and work well beyond the hours they are paid for . I was furious . Unfortunately Hoskins has the largest audience in the country ( god know why ) but this is mis information . It really puts down the hard work done in the public health

system . I was so cross pacing

round the house I had to do a head stand to calm down !!

Hi Rachel, I can't watch Hosking because I feel like he is damaging New Zealand. He is a bad person, along with HDPA. It's so sad what all is happening.

But we will fight it. They have clickbait and corporate money, We have strength in numbers and also what we're on the side of the people.
