No, but I would like to think this has not come down from DHB/ ministry level. If it has then heads should roll.

making sure gang members and associates cannot exploit taxpayer support

This might be something that Hilary said that almost all of us can get in behind.

This is agonising but she’s right . I can’t believe we gave another disease to Samoa . I read this week one family there lost two babies to measles from NZ .
