The hall was packed for a lively political panel on prevention co-hosted by the Public Health Communication Centre, Health Coalition Aotearoa, and the University of Otago, Wellington, in the capital on 8 August 2023.
The panel was held on the back of the release of a Health Coalition Aotearoa political survey on where the parties stand on tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy food. You can read more about that in our Briefing.
