Commonwealth Games: Basketballer and midwife Azure Anderson ready to deliver

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T17:05:00.000Z

yeah nah the real MVP is the midwife who catches the baby and catches the ball. get her a real salary not just a selfie request

Isla Cooper2026-07-14T17:42:00.000Z

absolutely. midwives are literal superheroes and we pay them peanuts. it's a disgrace

Grace Patel2026-07-14T18:43:00.000Z

good on her for balancing two demanding jobs. but why does the hospital have midwives working so much they gotta moonlight in sports? sounds like our healthcare system is cooked

Zoe King2026-07-14T19:03:00.000Z

imagine getting your baby delivered by an actual Commonwealth Games athlete. that kid's gonna have some serious bragging rights at school one day 😂

James O’Brien2026-07-14T19:19:00.000Z

hope she's got better hands catching a baby than the Silver Ferns do catching the ball tbh

James O’Brien2026-07-14T19:47:00.000Z

lol yeah not wrong. if she can multitask like that maybe she should run the country

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T20:21:00.000Z

flick her the PM's salary and we might actually get somewhere

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T19:53:00.000Z

another feel good story while we ignore the fact that midwives are understaffed and underpaid. but hey at least she's a good sport so all's well right? ffs

Zoe King2026-07-14T20:46:00.000Z

mate she's probably running on adrenaline and coffee. respect to her for managing it all but I wouldn't wish that schedule on my worst enemy

Zoe King2026-07-14T20:02:00.000Z

honestly this is the kind of energy we need in parliament. imagine someone delivering your policies and babies with the same determination

Grace Patel2026-07-14T20:45:00.000Z

hear hear. we're too busy patting ourselves on the back for her feel good story to demand better conditions

Grace Patel2026-07-14T20:24:00.000Z

admire the hustle but can we talk about how she's probably exhausted 24/7? hope she's getting enough sleep between shifts and training sessions
