  • Never again: Ensure the wellbeing of children and tāngata whaikaha
    Last year, an 11-year-old autistic and nonverbal child was handcuffed, admitted to a mental health facility, and given at least two doses of anti-psychotic medication after being reportedly mistaken for a 20-year-old mental health patient by police [1].  An independent review found that no cultural support was provided to the young girl, and her disability was not considered beyond initial assessment [2]. The Rapid Incident Review Report (which wasn’t done almost two weeks after the event) concluded that several systemic failings contributed to the distress and trauma experienced by the young person and their whānau [2]. We are calling on the Government to: • A formal public apology from the Prime Minister, Cabinet, and the five Ministers responsible for Health, Mental Health, Disability Issues, Police, and Crown Relations, together with accountability from Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora Board and Chief Executive, Ministry of Health | Manatū Hauora Director-General of Health and Chief Executive and New Zealand Police | Nga Pirihimana O Aotearoa Commissioner. • A public commitment to an independent, system-wide review on tāngata whaikaha / disabled peoples’ experience across whole-of-government – all agencies. • Meaningful reform to ensure the rights, dignity, safety, and wellbeing of autistic people and minors are protected across health, disability, mental health, Police – across the whole-of-government/state system. • Greater public and government awareness, education and understanding of the systemic issues highlighted by this case, with a focus on preventing similar harm from occurring to other tāngata whaikaha and their whānau. Accountability must apply both to the people involved and to the broader systemic conditions that allow incidents such as this to occur in Aotearoa

  • Urgent Establishment of a Sudan Special Humanitarian Visa Pathway
    We call on the Government of Aotearoa New Zealand to urgently establish a dedicated humanitarian and family reunification visa pathway for Sudanese communities in Aotearoa who have direct or extended family members displaced and affected by the ongoing war in Sudan. This pathway should be modelled on the Ukraine Special Visa pathway introduced in 2022, ensuring a timely, compassionate, and streamlined response to ongoing humanitarian needs. The war in Sudan, now entering its fourth year, has resulted in mass displacement, widespread violence, and severe humanitarian conditions. This includes direct threats to civilian life and safety. Many Sudanese people in Aotearoa remain separated from their immediate and extended families, with no safe or accessible pathway for reunification. We call on the New Zealand Government to: 1. Establish a Special Sudan Humanitarian Visa Pathway • Create a dedicated visa category allowing Sudanese people in New Zealand to sponsor immediate and extended family members affected by the war. • Model this pathway on the 2022 Ukraine Special Visa category. • Include both internally displaced persons and those displaced across international borders. • Prioritise urgent family reunification pathways for Sudanese communities already living in Aotearoa and extend pathways to extended families. 2. Increase Humanitarian Protection for Sudanese Refugees • Allocate a significant portion of New Zealand’s refugee quota to Sudanese refugees in recognition of the scale of displacement and humanitarian need. • Ensure equitable humanitarian responses aligned with previous emergency visa and refugee pathways. 3. Ensure Humanitarian Accessibility and Equity • Design the pathway to be accessible, fast-tracked, and trauma-informed. • Remove unnecessary bureaucratic barriers that delay reunification in emergency contexts. • Ensure culturally responsive and humane processing systems for affected families. 4. Community Wellbeing - Culturally Responsive & Safe Settlement • Ensure Sudanese families arriving through humanitarian pathways are supported to settle safely and with dignity in Aotearoa. This should include access to culturally responsive mental health support, trauma-informed services, English language learning, employment support, housing assistance, education pathways, and community-led settlement support. This initiative aligns with Aotearoa New Zealand’s commitments to: • International human rights law • Refugee protection principles • Humanitarian obligations • Te Tiriti o Waitangi- informed values of dignity, protection, and collective wellbeing Aotearoa New Zealand has consistently positioned itself as a nation that responds to global humanitarian crises with fairness and urgency. Its actions must reflect these commitments by protecting vulnerable populations and ensuring equitable humanitarian pathways during times of conflict.

  • Restore Funding for Wellington’s Citizens Advice Bureau
    We call on Wellington City Council to urgently reinstate funding for Wellington Citizens Advice Bureau, reversing the devastating cut that threatens the future of this essential community service. The recent decision to cut CAB funding by more than half, puts the future of this vital community service at serious risk. Without adequate funding, Wellingtonians will lose access to trusted, free, independent advice and advocacy at the very time many people are struggling with rising costs, housing stress, employment issues, family hardship, and increasing social isolation.

  • Repeal Fast-Track laws and protect people’s rights to hold polluters accountable in court.
    People of Aotearoa need a flourishing environment for future generations to thrive.  The current fast-track legislation seeks to enable destructive, short-term projects to bypass environmental safeguards, ignore community input and Te Tiriti obligations. These short-term projects would not only cause long-term, irreversible harm to our forests, waterways and oceans, but they would also increase emissions and accelerate global warming, increasing the frequency of climate-related disasters like cyclones & floods [1].  We call on the New Zealand Labour Party to: • Commit to repealing the Fast-Track Legislation and Revoke All Fast-Track Mining Consents granted under the fast-track process.  • Commit to protecting people’s rights to hold polluters accountable in court.

  • Stop the Discriminatory Bill Removing Disabled People’s Rights – Ensure Fair Due Process
    We’re calling on Parliament to scrap the Disability Support Services Bill entirely. Any law that takes rights away from disabled people and carers should never be allowed. This bill is fundamentally discriminatory and must not go ahead. This bill will strip disabled people and their carers of legal rights that other New Zealanders still have. It cancels existing court cases, denies access to justice, and treats disabled people and their whānau as less than equal under the law.

  • Don't scrap the Broadcasting Standards Authority. Strengthen it!
    Responsible, trustworthy media is the backbone of functioning democracies. We need media that are honest, reliable, and uphold the law and basic ethical principles.  The government's plan to scrap the Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) will make Aotearoa New Zealand's media less trustworthy, less balanced, and less reliable. It will allow more misinformation to be spread, not just through social media and online media but on radio and television. It will weaken our democracy, eroding trust in media further, and encouraging more vile, dishonest, divisive and hateful media, like we now see in the United States.  Don't scrap the Broadcasting Standards Authority. Don't replace it with weak self-regulation by the industry. Instead, put in place the recommendations of the government's 'Safer Online Services' research project which incorporates the best of the BSA and applies it to online media. All media including television, radio, newspapers and online media would come under industry self-regulation but with real statutory penalties for irresponsible media organisations that go rogue. It's an inexpensive and effective solution that is working well in Australia and the United Kingdom. We need better regulation like this. Not worse as a result of scrapping the BSA.

  • Migrants are not disposable workers
    We call on every political party in Aotearoa New Zealand to commit, in their immigration policy, to act with urgency and humanity by: 1. Ending Tied Visas Decouple work visas from single employers. Migrant workers must have the right to change jobs freely to escape exploitation, creating a fairer labour market for all. 2. Suspending the 12-Month Stand-Down Period Scrap this cruel and counterproductive rule. It creates a massive risk of exploitation as migrants scramble to find any way to remain, while simultaneously harming family wellbeing and stripping our industries of the experienced workers they need. 3. Implementing Reasonable English Language Requirements Replace rigid, one-size-fits-all English testing with flexible, reasonable and role-appropriate language standards.
