Leighton Smith Podcast Episode 207 - August 16th 2023 - The Leighton Smith Podcast

On this week's podcast:

Turbo-charged by Covid-19 and a poverty of basic intelligence, common sense and irreparably bad ideas, the New Zealand health care system is in dire straights.

We are in crisis, and, as a result, it is at the forefront of election issues.

Emeritus Professor Des Gorman levels his sights on the issues and how to resolve them; especially the increasing shortage of GP’s.

We pay tribute to a great man Merrill Fernando.

The mailroom delivers a great collection of comment.

And at the back-end of 207, an ex-National MP provides a written assault on the state of politics in NZ.
