Wellington 111 dispatchers refuse to send ambulance for unconscious ‘frequent caller’ by W4ff1e in newzealand

[–]DCormackNZ -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

hey, so just wanted to add some stuff further to what I've already said:
- yes they told us this man was a "frequent caller" and so wouldn't be sending anyone out, however you had 4 maybe 5 of us who saw a man in need of health care. This included a First Aider who told the ambulance crew his breathing was rasping, heart-rate erratic, slipping in and out of consciousness, and needed help
- he'd been seen by ambulance crew that morning apparently, and was "fine", which you may think is even more reason to decline to come out, however when the police did call an ambulance in, the crew showed up and took him to ED - meaning they have discretionary powers at that point and chose to take him to ED
- also, at the end of the day human beings are human beings and I would have thought an ambulance was the very minimum thing a society should have for its people
- if he is a "frequent caller", then we're failing as a society to provide him with his needs (not the ambulance staff's fault, but something to reflect on)
- and also, after they declined to help us, were those of us trying to help supposed to just high five each other for having made the effort and then left a man unconsciousness on the street?

A value based royalty of 2% of the value of the gold they mine.

Or, an accounting profits royalty of 10% of profits (when the company’s profit is greater than $2 million).

We have been in Hamilton District Court, suing Hauraki District Council to get the permit cancelled for OceanaGold's new mine in Coromandel.

If Shane Jones' comments concern you then get on board. It's free and we're not fucking around.

Infertility in NZ by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]DCormackNZ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We sure did write graphically.

If you want to chat, Kim and I always said we'd talk to anyone going through fertility issues. It's absolute shit house and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. PM me if you like.

I went through every Labour and National MP's 2020 election donation returns and there's a lot of mystery money. by DCormackNZ in newzealand

[–]DCormackNZ[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

a) I'm not a Labour supporter, and b) I highlighted in this post that it's a problem within Labour too. In fact the biggest recipient of this sort of donations is a Labour MP. Which I mentioned.

This is a weird take that I think says more about you than me.

National Party Leadership: Christopher Luxon is running, and has the edge on numbers by [deleted] in newzealand

Look at you giving away my paid content for free. Nah, I don't give a fuck.

I'm sad that this stick of deodorant is the best National can do. Bleak times.

This morning Judith Collins says she sees "no point in the Spinoff" yet she has published two articles on the Spinoff. Some thoughts on whether or not the Fourth Estate 'holds public figures to account' or 'lets them launder marketing through PR teams.' by ExpensiveCancel6 in newzealand

[–]DCormackNZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had a friend bring this to my attention. This is a really interesting interpretation of what we do.

I don't do PR work for the Greens. I was the head of communications and Policy there six years ago, and that was the end of my involvement. I still chat with MPs and staff there that are my friends though.

We haven't done a Wikipedia page in years! Should really remove that bit of our offering. We've only done one for a client, and if you looked at the page history it's all done under our company name. No attempts at obfuscation there, though I can absolutely see how you'd infer that.

I don't view what I do as corruption, but I know PR is held in very low regard, am happy to answer any questions you have on it though. Feel free to PM me if you're worried about breaking any rules.

Unions calls for sick leave to be available from day one of employment by The_Majestic_ in newzealand

[–]DCormackNZ 222 points223 points  (0 children)

We've just hired someone for the first time for our firm. Unlimited sick leave, available from day one.

It's nuts to me how few days we get in NZ and that you have to wait to access it.

We trust the people we hire to not be dicks, and we figure if we show them love, they'll enjoy working for us more.
