I was a professional nurse in South Africa qualified for 20 years. Now permanent NZ resident. NZ nursing council declined my application for registration saying they don't accept my qualifications. No way into the profession here in NZ available to me, no return to work training or exam/evaluation offered to prove my competency. A flat no!

no mention of Kiwibuild or the decision to carry on with the drug testing of welfare beneficiaries? I guess the show itself is evidence of a post-truth era!

So, doesn't this suggest we look seriously at high tech, low emission incineration instead of burying our rubbish? Great podcast, by the way, thanks.
