The review of the HEalth System announced today is probably the best thing they have done so far. It is where a huge proportion of Govt Funds go and hasnt been reviewed for a decade. All for it.

Is this the review chaired by Heather Simpson? The Heather Simpson who was Chief of Staff to Helen Clark?

Jobs for mates? Heather Simpson for Gods Sake. I can think of many better qualified Labour people who could do a much better job than Simpson.

What is your objection to Heather Simpson?

Was this indicated during the election? Considering how opposed Labour was to Assets being sold....

I wasnt happy to hear she got the job. It is jobs for mates plus she is female. Just because she was Helens lacky doesnt qualify her to run such a high powered review of the largest organisation in NZ.

What does gender have to do with it?

@Pumpedd would you please advise the qualifications and experience Heather Simpson has and what qualifications and experience she is lacking in order to do the job she has been asked to do.

Gender should have nothing to do with it. It should always be the best person for the job regardless of gender or anything else. Labour do not like that rule.

Maybe you are unaware Mike. Jacinda is committed to having 50% of her caucus made up of women.  Of course the fact that Heather Simpson is female place nicely into her favor. So yes Gender does have quiet a bit to do with it actually and its not always "best person for the job".

None of the naysayers regarding Heather Simpson have presented reasons for their opposition to the appointment.

I really have no qualm with her gender, could not care less. I'm surprised nobody has brought up her age yet? She seems very old for the job. Possibly a little frail?

You have trolled my two posts...without offering any substance. I thought you were better than this.

I have asked you a simple question with regards to your apparent opposition to Heather Simpsons appointment, that is not trolling. She is a very experienced individual with a  very long career at the senior levels of government bot nationally and international. She has a background of economics. She is more than capable of leading the review process.
