This is a good headline! It refuses to amplify the false claim by using "wrongly", and includes the truth in the headline for everyone who doesn't read the full story (which is mostly everyone). It's also compelling clickbait for those ad guys. Now do this all the time!

Low productivity is NZ’s economic elephant in the room. Election pledges mostly avoid it
Economic growth may have returned to NZ, but lifting living standards will require more than a cyclical recovery. What should voters be looking for in policies?

NACT1st has deliberately allowed our healthcare sector to become understaffed. . #NZpol #Listener #cartoon
Patient: "I WAS FORCED TO GO TO WORK EVEN WHEN I WAS SICK."
Cartoon depicts a scene in a crowded hospital where a nurse is pushing a very sick patient. Both appear ill.

Patient: "I WAS FORCED TO GO TO WORK EVEN WHEN I WAS SICK."
Nurse: "SAME."

Refers to a RNZ report : "Some nurses working in the emergency department at Auckland's Middlemore Hospital say they have been asked to come to work despite calling in sick.
They say they have repeatedly raised concerns with management about the pressure on staff over the past two months, but little has changed."
