WORD-Web-Event-TIPPINGSCALES
Back to Programme

Venue: Rydges Savoy West

Price: $18/ $16

With the election looming, inequality and child poverty are pivotal issues. A tiny number of New Zealanders are getting richer while everyone else is struggling. Twenty-seven per cent of New Zealand children live in poverty and all evidence suggests that the system is failing them. How did we get here? What can we do about it? Is it too late? And will what happens at the polling booth on 20 September make a difference in people’s lives?

Join Max Rashbrooke, editor and co-author of Inequality: A New Zealand Crisis, and Bronwyn Hayward, political scientist at the University of Canterbury who specialises in children and democracy, as they discuss the problems, and possible solutions, with Wallace Chapman.
