- Reposted by David LormansRacism has been central to Trump and his movement since he came down the escalator. He is a racist. His people are racists. His defenders are racists. His supporters are racists. His party is a party of racists. If they want to disprove that, they can. But it's important to know they don't want to.

Risk reduction makes sense and saves lives. “The research showed that 97% of the central government expenditure was on responding to and recovering from natural disasters, with only 3% spent on risk reduction and resilience” 1/2 #nzpol

- Reposted by David LormansACC plans on "getting more non-serious injury clients out of the long-term claims pool" to get its financies in order. That's an admission that they've either not been doing their job in the past, or plan to not do their job in the future. It has to be one or both. Either should land them in court.
- Reposted by David LormansACC shouldn't need access to your medical information. They should just pay the compensation and bills as directed by your doctors. Medicine should be strictly the role of the health sector. ACC isn't health sector: they're a finance. We've let financiers make our medical decisions for too long.
