“I have been proud to be part of the New Zealand health sector. When I started in GP I didn’t feel the need to have private health insurance. The health system, while it had its limitations, generally worked well. I would do everything I could to manage the patient in the community and when I needed help I could refer the patient on and they would be seen. I was so proud of the initial government response to Covid, one that prioritised public safety, that I applied for citizenship. How things have changed.”

Will we burn down this house before we learn to share it? Nadine Anne Hura: “From the outside, a straggle of wet straw hangs from the hole and flutters in the breeze. The parents fly in and out, expertly tipping the plastic flap before disappearing inside the narrow cavity with their beaks full. They wake me before it’s light, but I keep them up all night, aided by the artificial sun on my ceiling that I can flick off and on with a switch, god-like. We know each other’s business and routines, these starlings and I, because they have made their nest inside of my nest. Or perhaps I have made mine on top of theirs?”
