Our mighty leader’s other second-in-command, Mr Smug himself David Seymour, has hit the headlines. Again. For being an arrogant wee troll. Again.
He reckons our ever-shrinking pool of healthcare professionals have no business expressing an opinion on the state of our ever-shrinking healthcare system.
In fact, he says there are too many whining “busy-bodies” in the profession.
The ACT Party leader (and possible stunt double for Rimmer in cult TV series Red Dwarf) had the fucking gall to refer to public health leaders “muppets”, but then wimped out by saying he wasn’t referring to the medical profession when he made the comment.
But then he told the Press that he he feared the medical profession had “attracted too many whining busy-bodies”.
We have medical professionals leaving for less stressful roles in Aussie at an alarming rate, story after story in the media about overworked staff, overflowing waiting rooms, missed diagnoses, late treatments. Stories about people dying because of these shortfalls.
But this government has done sweet FA to fix the problem. Every issue is blamed on the previous administration. What feels like daily reports of shootings? Labour’s fault. Food banks over-run with demand? Labour’s fault. Businesses closing in record numbers? Labour’s fault. Healthcare going down the gurgler? Labour’s fault.
There must be a point where this motley bunch currently infesting the Beehive finally take some responsibility for the damage being done by their shitty policies.
A good start would be health. It’s something that will affect us all at some point, and this idiot with his trolling is fixing nothing.
Listen to the people working in the system. They can see what is working and what isn’t. And they are in the best position to help fix things.
