and they’re attached to an accredited training institution for a couple of years to practice on the public under supervision. That almost always means one of the larger DHB emergency departments. It also means they fall under the New Zealand resident doctors association, possibly the most virulent and militant union in the country.
: A middle class union the most militant ... Fell about laughing ...
And knowing a few of them I’d say their income ranges from $60k (basic wages) to $90k, plus a range of perks that’d make any politician blush.

All of the “public safety” arguments ignore one important fact: the rest of the world pays for their own lunch
Do they now ... for real ?? Or just asking your keyboard ... the "rest of the world" is a fucking big place ... ever heard of Expense Accounts FFS ... asnd other wasys of having lunch paid for by work ...
