I can’t help but think health is going to be a major election issue next year. Just look at the headlines this week regarding our first responders. The Professional Fire Fighters union is pursuing industrial action against Fire and Emergency New Zealand, in an attempt to get better wages and safer working conditions.Through all this we discovered firefighters co-respond with St John’s Ambulance to 96 percent of all of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.

Paddy Gower shared a lot more than I think he intended too last night when he set out to make a documentary on alcohol. In a very brave move, he’s produced a documentary called Patrick Gower: On BoozeIt is filled with facts and figures about alcohol, who drinks it, how we drink it and the damages it causes, but more than that, he’s come clean about his own drinking, and the realisation he is a high-functioning alcoholic. I applaud him for his honesty, it wasn’t pretty at times as we watched Gower

A minor shuffle eh? Not quite so much.There was more on offer at yesterday’s press conference than expected; actually, the announcement was pretty sensible. It’s a good time for the Prime Minister to be making sure the right person is in the right job, shift the Opposition’s focus by moving along a few folks, and attempting to arrest a slide in the polls.The shuffle was instigated by a couple of resignations, and the timing couldn’t have been better for the Prime Minister.Minster for Immigration and

You know, I was not at all surprised to see the headline on the front of the New Zealand Herald today talking about the state of mental health care for children and teenagers in New Zealand.A briefing document that was provided by the Ministry of Health, to the Health Minister Andrew Little in September last year, has been obtained by the Herald and it paints a grim picture.

Inevitably, we will do wrong, but given that God is always watching, their sins will be exposed and they will be punished.In this increasingly secular century and society, 48 percent of New Zealanders said they had no religious affiliations in
