Wow - an $11.5 billion surplus, and women with breast cancer can't get government-funded Herceptin. People are being knocked off waiting lists. It cost me nearly $60 for a 10 minute visit to the doctor, and $14 for my 1 year old son just to have his ears looked at the other day. Add prescription costs to that and it was nearly $100 for the visit in total. $100!!!!!!
It seems that the people whos taxes have given the government this surplus - middle-income earners - are being completely ignored.
I confess that I have always voted for Helen Clark, she's always had my respect as she's a strong woman who doesn't take any crap. But she won't be getting my vote any longer.
Even though the alternative is sadly and pathetically embarrassing, they'll be getting my vote in future.
