Policy interventions can do amazing stuff. This newish analysis of the intensive Healthy Homes Initiative finds:
- 18.6% drop in hospitalisation, or about 10k/year. That's a small hospital.
- 5% drop in school absenteeism.
- Slight increase in wages.

Well, yes, if you cut 8500-10,000 public sector roles, and drive 79,000 people to leave NZ, plus give landlords a tax break, of course the tax take will be lower 🤦🏽♀️
This is a very simple maths equation.
