ffs another delay. This government couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.

Tom Harris2026-07-03T04:07:14.000Z

nah they'll just blame covid like always

Kai Thompson2026-07-03T04:04:14.000Z

typical. Waikato Hospital is falling apart and they're dragging their feet with a 28-bed ward. sure that will fix the waiting lists 🙄

as a student nurse I'm so over this. we're taught about timely care but look at this. brown should come see the ward himself, then maybe he'll hurry up.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-03T04:39:14.000Z

anyone know why it's delayed? contractor issues? budget blowout?

Aria Wilson2026-07-03T04:47:14.000Z

good luck getting an answer from anyone who knows 😂
