Firstly, All Black Doug Howlett’s drunken rampage in London: The discussion was around whether his actions and apology were acceptable or not. My stance: It doesn’t matter - just like it is best to ignore the bad behaviour of a child, the media should not reward anti-social behaviour from public figures by making it headlines.
Secondly, the host was lamenting the demise of public healthcare, blaming all political parties for failing to meet the needs of those needing surgery, for example, by classifying it as elective and making them wait in pain and discomfort. My stance: we place far too much emphasis on restorative healthcare, helplessly letting conditions worsen until they are so bad radical intervention is needed. Our focus needs to be on preventing the need for curative remedies by using natural, preventative measures.
There, I said it. I feel better now!
