Yesterday's double whammy of a weak and unfunded Smokefree 2025 plan and cuts to the National Public Health Service (including smokefree staff) underscored how uncommitted this Government is to reducing the number one risk factor for preventable death.healthcoalition.org.nz/smokefree-2025…

Another red flag over the new low-cost lunches - the Minister responsible casually told Ed select committee he had “heard” about the significantly poor performance of two key suppliers and "believes" Cabinet wasn't told. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360522…

Yesterday's school lunch. Arrived at 2pm, an hour late. I thunk its pasta with lentils. The lunches were offered to community groups, who turned them down. ACT New Zealand

The UK has voted to create a Smokefree Generation, phasing out tobacco sales for anyone born after 2009. In NZ, our world-leading law was repealed. We’re calling for stronger lobbying rules so public health isn’t traded away. Join us: lnkd.in/gfDeriwi #LevelThePlayingField
