The press conference yesterday for Health New Zealand - Boy, Oh boy, what a doozy. So they've appointed Lester Levy as the commissioner, the CEO Margie Apa was there alongside him. She's been in the job two years, that's how long the organisation's been set up for. They're overspending $130 million a month. We know that — that can be nothing more than mismanagement if you take Levy's word for it. He says they don't need more money. They basically just don't know how to spend efficiently within the

An election analyst says Kamala Harris' nomination is probably a done deal. The process will be formally open for challengers, and none of the delegates at the Democratic National Convention are required to vote for her.

In the Herald this morning, the boss of traffic management firm Traffix laid into the Transport Minister, saying he and Wayne Brown don't understand how the industry works. He says they don't charge per road cone for work, but rather per worker and truck. He says the public's abusing his staff on site because of misinformation being spread.
