Labour recycles 2017 policy it never implemented

Stuff reports:

Labour is re-promising to lift the age of eligibility for free breast cancer screening, just a few months after saying there weren’t enough health workers for the expansion to go ahead.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins and the party’s women’s caucus delivered their pitch to women on Sunday, including the promise of extended breast screening.

This is a 2017 Labour and NZ First coalition commitment, which hasn’t been actioned despite calls from the Opposition and Breast Cancer Foundation.

So Labour promised to do this in 2017, failed to do it for six years, said it was not possible earlier this year, and now suddenly it is promising to do it again.

They really do think we’re all stupid.
