So now the government is 'urgently seeking advice' on banning kids' play sand because of asbestos concerns. Righto. Because obviously the biggest threat to our children is a sandpit, not the housing crisis, failing healthcare, or the fact that public schools can't afford toilet paper. Classic NZ priority list: let's panic about something utterly marginal while the real shit burns. And who exactly is supplying asbestos-laced sand? Probably the same guy who sold us those leaky pipes. But sure, ban the sand. That'll fix everything. Ffs.
