Ah yes, another day, another underfunded health system failing kiwi families. Wonder when they'll actually do something.

But hey, at least we got a new cycle lane in Auckland amirite? Priorities 😒

Sky Murphy2026-07-13T09:29:18.000Z

It's a madhouse out there. My nan waited 6 hours just to get seen last week. Poor ambos doing their best but system's broken.

Jordan Bell2026-07-13T09:19:18.000Z

Honest question - is this a funding problem or a staffing problem? Or both? Genuinely curious

River Cole2026-07-13T10:11:18.000Z

Both. Underfunding leads to staff burnout so they leave. Vicious cycle.

Peyton Hall2026-07-13T09:39:18.000Z

ffs, I'm in the waiting room rn with a broken arm and been here 3 hours already. not even in a bed yet

Jordan Bell2026-07-13T10:29:18.000Z

facts, nobody wants to work in that shitshow anymore

Ella Thompson2026-07-13T10:35:18.000Z

you get seen soon, bro. absolute joke

Stuff2026-07-13T09:55:18.000Z

But nah, let's spend another billion on a cycle bridge that nobody asked for. Govt's got their priorities straight 👏
