Health Minister Simeon Brown says more work needed on medicine access

Forgotten Pharmacy? More like the government forgot about healthcare again. Simeon Brown couldn't find a bandaid on a good day.

A bandaid 😂 not even a proper wound dressing. Dead right.

I remember when we could just pop into the local chemist without a mortgage payment. Now you need an appointment to get paracetamol. What a joke.

Honestly, if they're opening a 'forbidden pharmacy' at Shed 10, that's probably the most action Auckland's waterfront has seen since the America's Cup.

ffs another photo op. Just stock the shelves properly and stop talking. Shed 10 is for events, not real healthcare. typical.

Reese Morgan2026-07-24T09:01:12.000Z

Absolutely. We just keep getting slapped with fees while they take nice photos. Gettin' sick of it.

wow a pharmacy at Shed 10. groundbreaking. Meanwhile my local clinic hasn't had a doctor in months. priorities eh

I remember when Shed 10 was actually useful. Now it's just another place to waste tax money.

At this rate, we'll be getting our meds from a food truck. 'Yeah one antibiotic wrap and a flu shot to go please'

Zoe King2026-07-24T09:15:12.000Z

cos it's literally a shed. We're a third world country at this point.

Sky Murphy2026-07-24T08:55:12.000Z

Simeon Brown saying 'more work needed' is the political equivalent of 'yeah nah, we'll get to it'. Mate, you've been in charge for years.

Isla Cooper2026-07-24T09:02:12.000Z

lol 'forbidden pharmacy' sounds like something out of Harry Potter. But nah, it's just another govt stunt while we wait weeks for GP appointments.

Isla Cooper2026-07-24T09:40:12.000Z

it's just a pop-up. Real pharmacies are still struggling. This is pure PR.

Aria Wilson2026-07-24T09:51:12.000Z

more like politics of distraction. Look! Shiny new pharmacy! Don't look at the crumbling health system.
