This. Lester Levy was given license to assemble a hit squad to decimate the health system even further, to be able to manufacture multiple crises, at the cost of all New Zealanders, and sets up privatisation.

Straight out the neolib playbook.

Also very similar to the appalling treatment Americans are getting from DOGE

This is the neoliberal right. This is who they are. Of the rich, for the rich, by the rich.

Ohh noo not the *check notes* high level executives

A number of sources have recounted that Goldsack told a finance meeting that, despite hundreds of accountants at the organisation, ‘I could cut my f***ing thumbs and fingers off and still have too many fingers to count the number of people on the call that can do accounting’.
At another meeting, sources say Goldsack told senior staff there were ‘bullets coming’ for executives, and he was firing them. Some of those executives were gone within weeks.
Newsroom has put these comments to Health NZ, asking if such language is acceptable to Dr Levy – and if not, does Goldsack still have his confidence?

Weak, mediocre bureaucrats crying because theyve been caught out. I dont see a frontline worker listed anywhere in that article.

@sup42 they're not hiding here either.

This is who the free speech union is. Racist and far right.

Laughing at you because you have to resort tone policing instead of engaging with the content is being a snowflake? Wild take...
