LETTING PEOPLE LIVE (Letter to Dom Post, September 21)


I’m with Rosemary McLeod (Kissing goodbye to social justice, September 21) on huge salaries, houses (expensive, leaky, in short supply), on "monster" tenants and landlords, rewritten building codes, student loans, and especially on hospitals and mental health in "permanent crisis".

Then she asks, "What could be more important than helping people live decent lives?" The answer to that is, what’s more important is letting people live.
‘Health services’ which routinely and deliberately kill thousands of patients are a monstrous disservice which serves up only sickness - a psychological sickness characterized by the symptoms McLeod quite rightly deplores.
New Zealand kissed "goodbye to social justice" the day we legalised abortion.
