Labour - Epic fail.

From stuff; Severe shortage of medical specialists in NZ,

Labour Party health spokeswoman Ruth Dyson has taken issue with suggestions her party is responsible for New Zealand's shortage of medical specialists getting to such a concerning level.

Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) publication, Health at a Glance 2009, placed New Zealand bottom of 28 countries surveyed, with figures showing it had only 0.8 specialists per 1000 people.

Greece was top with 3.4 specialists per 1000 population, while Australia was 20th with 1.4. The OECD average was 1.8.

Health Minister Tony Ryall said the figures, based on 2007 data, were worrying.

That's right, the situation in 2007 wasn't Labour's fault - Epic fail Ruth.

It's OK when my team do it

rOb at the standard shows how partisan he is again

rOb uses the M.C. Escher picture of endless churn to represent National's recent announcements of impending tax changes. This is the same rOb who has endlessly defended WFF, top tax thresholds so low that people are paying the top rate while receiving benefits and of course rOb has always been the ultimate defender of status quo - the same thing he now dislikes about National.

Back in April 2008 I asked rOb some hard questions and did he care about the issues then - no he defended them.

I'm not sure rOb really understands just how much of a hack he really is, he has all the arrogance of his idol but none of his idols intelligence. He's just a muppet.
