released its twenty twenty three annual report. It shows a
thirty seven point nine million dollar operating deficit, a far
cry from the predicted ninety three point four million Azariah

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Taking land and building values into account, the year end
result is a thirty five point six million dollar surplus.

to intensive cost savings. Cost cutting plans continue, with the
government holding firm on plans to disestablish the merger.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Good news for up to thirty cancer patients who'll get
early access to the drug a keytruder. Health Endset has
said it would wait to offer patients the drug until
FARMAC fundings darted in October. It's now agreed the small
group could begin this month. Labor Health spokesperson Aisha Verel
says that's doing right by patients, but illustrates the government
(01:10):
chaos over cancer medicines. Officials at Health New Zealand should
have been crystal clear that no delays were acceptable for
this group of patients that the government has already let
down once. Speaker Jerry Brownlee is warning MPs against bad
behavior after dramas last week. Act clashed over wearing forbid
and party logos. Its Children's minister complained of feeling bullied,
(01:33):

didn't initially hear. Brownlee told the House today presiding officers
will be more vigilant and urged MPs to raise concerns.

cannot be omnipresent, nor can all the cross house comment

Minister's taking advice on whether the government should intervene to
save hundreds of jobs at two North Island mills, Windstone's
o Haakuni Pulp and timber mills could close. Struggling with
power prices rising six hundred percent in recent years. Nikola
Willis says New Zealand needs affordable electricity and it's appropriate
(02:17):
to consider action. I would hazard a yess that the
reckless decision of the previous government to ban gas exploration
in New Zealand has contributed to this situation. Auckland police
say the day officers fatally shot a rampaging gunman last
year was extremely frightening for staff. The Independent Police Conduct
(02:38):

noonger outside Henderson Police station. Jordan Dunn has.
