The Government has scrapped the Broadcasting Standards Authority. Yay – no more sanctimonious bureaucrats saying that someone on the telly caused someone else offence with hurty words.
A few months agoI wrote to Minister Goldsmith as suggested a double-whammy maneouvre: (1) Shut down the BSA and save a heap of wasted money, and (ii) Give that money to Pharmac so that (all) sick New Zealanders can benefit from life-saving / lifestyle saving medicines. Because no one needs bureaucrats to save them from someone else’s hurty words, but we do need bureaucrats’ help to save us from cancer, diabetes, and a bazillion other real, life-changing health conditions. And where I wrote ‘bureaucrats’, you coudl also say, ‘hardworking taxpayers’ because let’s be real, that’s where the money comes from.
Thank you Minister Goldsmith (and Minister Seymour Associate Minister of Health with responsibility forPharmac).
