"Not sure how helpful a repayment bonding system is going to be to help nursing students survive their training.

"Why does National continue to ignore pay parity for nurses who work for Iwi and Māori providers? When National was in opposition in 2008 they said they would support equity for Māori nurses working for Iwi and Māori providers.

Why would I choose to support this party?" Keelan, Te Poari
