  • You got me wondering:

    Te Tāhū Hauora / Health Quality & Safety Commission reports:

    New data shows 47 percent of those who visited their GP in 2018 were dispensed at least one antibiotic.

    But don’t despair! It’s quite an exciting time for antimicrobial awareness in New Zealand! In 2017, Manatū Hauora - Ministry of Health in conjunction with Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand launched the “New Zealand Antimicrobial Resistance Action Plan” which established the “New Zealand Antimicrobial Resistance Action Plan Governance Group” (NZAMRGG). The group meets 3 times per year and the only meeting notes published are from 2019. In those meeting notes “Bryan Wilson” sent apologies. It isn’t clearly stated if this is the Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys but it’s important to note the spelling is different.

    It is difficult to understand if the group was effective because they only seemed to publish notes from one meeting which consists mostly of planning and action items.




























  • I’m all for new solar but the rebates going towards residential installs will go directly in the pockets of the same companies that are squeezing us as they make billions in profit.

    Without similar DER/VPP legislation they have in Australia, the markets will continue to be skewed in favour of the big gentailers. I agree that this is a separate issue from the distributed generation needing to be installed but don’t stop there. Let’s take it all the way and make a level playing field for small generators.
