National’s refusal to ensure our houses are warm, safe and dry is putting our kids’ health at risk, the Green Party said today.
An investigation by the New Zealand Herald revealed today that 20 Kiwi kids die from preventable respiratory illnesses caused by cold, damp housing every year.
“Kids are dying because they’re living in cold, damp housing. We need to fix this now,” said Green Party social housing spokesperson Marama Davidson.
