Lots of people losing their jobs. Income, identity, purpose. Whatever happens, whatever coronavirus causes, we need to get as many of those jobs back, as soon as we can. And to do that, we have to stamp this shitty virus down. Please don't take the piss. Do what's required. ❤

Me whakanuia ka tika! #WorldSmokefreeDay2020. Tobacco Control in Aotearoa has come a long, long way since the passing of the Smokefree Environments Act in 1990. Check out our brief timeline, highlighting the journey over the last 30 years! Hāpai Te Hauora #celebratingsmokefree

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

Getting buy in from business leaders committing to support their workforce to quit will make a difference. Our team will provide all support. Vaping will be offered so pretty disappointed to see the barriers that quitters are going to have to face because of the recommendations!

"...the story my parents had to explain to me, & that I will one day explain to my own children—that so many in our community find themselves in these conditions not because black people have done something wrong, but because of all the wrong that has been done to black people."

A pleasure to meet with Jean Te Huia yesterday from Nga Maia Māori Midwives. Shocked to learn there are 9 DHBs that do not employ Māori Midwives. They are an untapped ‘valuable’ workforce that have the full potential to address the inequities for Māori māmā and their tamariki.

Correct *this guy* you do have 'Te karate' on Te Karere The presenter is a brown belt in 🥋

I hear you Dr Siouxsie Wiles kia kaha.

.RebeccaRC Great to catch you yesterday and fabulous segment on the news about much needed tweaks to the legislation on vaping/oral nicotine Hāpai Te Hauora

You think National can’t go much lower? Well you’re wrong. These TWO National MP’s are showing they are the lowest of the low. Using abortion, or using those who may choose to, or have to have an abortion, to make disgusting points that are unrelated to this story is gross.

Forgot to congratulate the advocates in the vaping bill. Worked really hard and copped a lot of flak to do it. Like many I received defamation threats, complaints and random photos being sent to the minister lol! But it is nothing compared to some. You have my respect!

I wonder if NZers realise how extraordinary this is? I have not, in my entire career as a foreign correspondent, seen a leader who has this constant command of her brief, who communicates the info so clearly, judges mood, & remains patient & pertinent. It's SO rare.

ASH met with Assoc Health Minister Ayesha Verrall today. Looking forward to helping this fabulous minister get NZ to smokefree 2025! Ben Youdan #smokefree #smokefree2025 #ASHmakesadifference

“Time to get real.” ASH’s Robert Beaglehole talks to Indira Stewart TVNZ Breakfast today: “We have had the Smokefree target since 2011. There’s been plenty of time for dairy owners to prepare.” #smokefree #tobacco #ASHmakesadifference #smokefree2025
