Under these health reforms, the regions and the provinces do not have locally elected voices at the table. Elected voices are removed, and all the regions see is a socialist Labour Government goose-stepping to the cadence of "Wellington knows best, comrades". This could have been all different. If Andrew Little had resourced ICU beds, we might not have had to protect the health system by cancelling so many operations. Maybe lockdowns could have been shorter and the economic impact less damaging if he had built ICU beds instead of doing a premature COVID victory lap.
