At Least They're Doing Something Right

Funny thing, a 'new' government (4 years on, it's stretching the term a little, but nevertheless) and suddenly the issue of bowel (and perhaps also prostrate) cancer is 'on the agenda': as in prospective screening for this worrisome scourge afflicting increasing numbers of New Zealanders. And yet the previous crowd were zealous about cervical cancer, admittedly occurring with the backdrop of the well-publicized Hawkes Bay scandal. No, I'm sure it had little to do with the fact that the latter was clearly a female disease, and the former a male one - it couldn't possibly be, could it... But it sure makes ya wonder, eh... Anyhow, I for one will give the present Government and its Minister, Tony Ryall, due kudos - hey, it could one day be my life - or even yours...who knows?
