Stuff's News item regarding RESTHOMES

Russ from Wigram

I've read the STUFF article on REST HOMES
What a poor state of affairs when our elderly have virtually NO RECOURSE due to the INACTION of our elected POLITITIANS !!
Absolutely abysmal - 5 years more to wait before anything happens ??
30,000 elderly have passed already WITHOUT their complaints being actioned ??
Come on !! Where is the care & empathy we sALL should be showing these people in their latter years ? POLITITIANS GET OFF YOUR HANDS and make this move !
Adern had legislation and gun laws changed and done lickity split over the Christchurch Mosc murders -- 30,000 elderly have passed without their complaints against Rest Homes being actioned !

Response to regifting presents

Gordon from Halswell

My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
