Northland mum Alethea Nathan with lung cancer pleads for publiclyfu­nded meds

Kerry Sinclair Shocking that treatment is so expensive so basically if u hav no money ur screwed.

Dee Attwood yes it should, and being chronicall­y ill on a benefit leaves me either going to my GP or buying my medication or getting petrol or get my teeth fixed with a plate and or hair cut, which I can’t do all of these at once. so if I get sick I can go to the GP can’t buy the medication. Am on a disability allowance full and on slp but still can’t get my teeth fixed etc. . . . why is it so expensive here to get proper health care? Revealed: What New Zealand’s top CEOs are paid

Elisa Glamuzina A cap on executive pay will more than likely lead to a brain drain effect as top executives leave the labour market in search of higher pay in other countries.

If the rewards to CEOs are limited, then executives may decide to take jobs at companies in other countries. This will create a scarcity of talented leaders in industries and might lead to a loss of dynamic efficiency in the long run.

June Mordecai Never mind the CEO’s salaries, what about the ordinary chaps who have loads of skills but cannot get a job or even sometimes not even an interview.

Lisa Prager The reason bosses at TVNZ are paid so much is that our state broadcaste­r has been automated! It now runs on a small, dedicated skeleton staff that have no idea how vibrant, creative & engaging it was in the early days. It

is now a sad, soulless void. A fortress most people are not allowed to see inside of or are fired if they challenge the status quo! TVNZ no longer deserves state funding! It is no longer a state broadcaste­r! Tony Quayle Disappoint­ing to see that there are no women on this list . . . Dayl McKenzie Nothing beats waking up, grabbing a cup of coffee and sitting down to talk about other people’s money. We’ve come a long way New Zealand. James Thatsme My yearly salary isn’t even their weekly tax. David Maue They are smarter and have more responsibi­lity so they get paid more.

Andrew Caie David Maue if only it were true.

David Maue Andrew Caie You asserting that they were made CEO because they were dumb? You went to govt school didn’t you?

Andrew Caie David Maue no I’m asserting that their responsibi­lity isn’t always higher. And they are definitely not guaranteed to be smarter then their workers. Honestly, the evidence says they will statistica­lly have higher levels of psychopath­y.

But this notion of those at the top of our society “earning it” has been fundamenta­lly disproven. Coffin to provide safety reminder to motorists travelling through Whanga¯rei this weekend

Rachel Pidgeon Thought it was a coffin at the lights.

Helen Mead What’s wrong with common sense, we shouldn’t need reminders. Kathleen Cherringto­n

Unfortunat­ely not a lot of people use common sense on our roads.

Helen Mead Kathleen Cherringto­n so very true it doesn’t take a lot of effort. Sadly.

Kei Lib Common- (Adj.) 1) occurring, found, or done often; prevalent.

2) shared by, coming from, or done by two or more people, groups, or things. There is limited ‘common’ sense and ‘common’ ignorance or lack of thought for the welfare of others.
