This is not how you build a stronger, healthier, or safer society. It’s time to stop the vandalism and rebuild NZ. Join Dr Gary Payinda and guests on The Frontline.

  • An Absolute Must-Listen

    We in NZ need this. The interview with a fair tax law expert was clear and riveting. Keep it going to inspire us to vote wisely and recoup a semblance of fairness at the next election. Maybe we could even save our Health System. Thank you, Dr Gary.

  • Awesome stuff

    Thanks so much for this Gary! The data doesn’t lie.

    Sad to hear how utterly neglected our health sector has been by recent governments.

    I really hope we can turn this around.
