Paperwork? In 2026? Christ, we're a third world country at this rate.

Reese Morgan2026-07-22T07:08:30.000Z

Right? Meanwhile they spent millions on some 'digital transformation' project. What a joke.

Luca Reid2026-07-22T06:23:30.000Z

Hope everyone's okay up there. These systems always seem to fail at the worst time.

Yeah nah, 'network connectivity issue' – i.e. someone forgot to pay the bill. Classic.

Ella Thompson2026-07-22T06:52:30.000Z

so. My mum's been waiting hours for test results because of this.

Taylor Wright2026-07-22T06:44:30.000Z

Back to paper? Might actually be faster than their clunky system lol.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-22T07:11:30.000Z

lol just look at the carparks at Waikato Hospital. sums it up.

Blake Turner2026-07-22T07:04:30.000Z

Worked in that hospital. The IT there is held together with tape and hope.

Someone tell me how a country that does the haka at funerals can't keep a server running

At least the nurses are still legends. They'll sort it out.
