I wonder when NZ will move away from the quasi-free-market-but-funded-by-the-government system in health (and education). It leads to outcomes like this which are clearly inefficient. I’d like to see more centralisation.

Makes sense. NZ super single is about twice core benefit. That would pretty much lift everyone out of poverty super fast.
Our gini coefficient would shrink and our entire society would get the bonuses to health and economy that go along with that.
Right, I want to vote for you at the next election.
Haha it may make sense but it’s not a vote winner. Your average voter will think spending hundreds of millions on WINZ reform just to make it more complex (now we need a bank account from everyone in the country so they can be paid from two sources) is not a good idea, and the right will for sure be telling people no one will work and the economy will collapse even though trials overseas have not had this effect.
True, true. I think we spend millions on pointless cosmetic winz remodels pretty much every time we get a new govt, but people never notice.
