We are calling on the New Zealand government to ban lead from ALL children’s products. Many children’s items have fallen through the legislative cracks and can pose a danger to kids, including crockery, mugs, glassware, baby bottles and jewellery. We want these gaps and loopholes closed so that ANY product intended for kids under the age of 14 is safe from any lead in the total content of the product.

We demand you follow the recommendation of Judge Henwood and the draft Human Rights Commission Report and set up a wide-ranging independent Commission of Inquiry into the historic sexual, physical and emotional abuse of children in state care, to ensure these abuses can never happen again. [1] The Inquiry should seek to discover the scale of abuse, acknowledge the harm done to victims and clearly identify the failures in the system that allowed the abuse to occur. It is your professional, moral and ethical duty as Minister to expose and address the systemic failings in state care, give a voice to victims and create a robust framework to offer redress for the immense harm these children - our most vulnerable - suffered while in the care of the state.

Dear Prime Minister, We support your call to treat drug use as a health issue. This is especially important right now because every week people are dying from synthetic cannabinoids. Many want to access help, but find it’s just not available. You’ve got some big decisions coming up very soon about next year’s Budget. We the undersigned ask you to follow through on your commitment to treat drugs as a health issue by: • Doubling the investment for drug-related treatment and harm-reduction initiatives in Budget 2019. This means putting aside an extra $150million. • Ensuring that people using synthetics and other dangerous drugs get a referral to health and other services, rather than a criminal conviction. The Law Commission proposed a workable system in 2011 – it’s time to implement their recommendations.

Join these New Zealand’s Intergenerational Climate Ambassadors, aged from 13 to 88, to call on the Government for a climate reset now. We are all a group representing all generations including the Solid Generation (pre 1946), Baby Boomers, GenX, Millennials and Centennials, calling on the Government for accelerated climate action. The climate crisis is major, global, and perpetual – until we do something about it. In July 2017 Jacinda Ardern proclaimed “This is my generation’s Nuclear Free moment!” Since the Ardern-led government came to power, there has been progress. The Zero Carbon Act has become law, the Climate Change Commission has been created and is working on its first emissions reduction budget, and the first Climate Change Risk assessment has been published. But we still need rapid action to reduce those emissions. If we keep going the way we are we will have one and a half degrees of warming (compared to pre-industrial) in 10 years, two degrees in twenty years, and 3 to 4 degrees by the end of the century. While New Zealand is moving towards action on climate change, we need to move faster.

Dear Ministers, We call on you to legislate that all councils must install and service public drinking fountains in 50 per cent of public playgrounds, parks and sports grounds. Easy access to safe drinking water in outdoor spaces is an important public health and environmental issue and an essential community service. Making water fountains compulsory in public places will make it easier to find free drinking water when out, encourage better health for our communities and reduce plastic pollution from bottled drinks.

To whoever wants to win our vote in 2017, We call on you to restore at least $1.85 billion in Government funding to our public healthcare system. We also seek your commitment to ensuring future annual health budgets cover: - provision for new treatments - population growth - demographic changes - inflation

According to media reports, the people protesting conditions at Waikeria Prison are not being given food or water. In one report, negotiators claimed they were trying to "starve out" the protesters. In another, a prisoner claimed that he was desperately trying to get water remnants from an old hose pipe. We believe all people deserve the right to food and water. We call on the Minister of Corrections, Kelvin Davis, to intervene and make sure these people get food and water.

- Reinstate the low user power tariff - Regulate standard user tariff and split it up into medium, high and extra high users. This would look like: Low user - 0-10,000 kwh a year pay $0.30 a day Standard medium user - 10,001 - 20,000 kwh a year pay $0.60 a day Standard high user - 20,001 - 30,000 kwh a year pay $1.20 a day Standard extra high user - 30,001+ kwh a year pay $2.40 a day. - Work with all power companies to create cheaper power plans for those with a community services card and gold card. - Keep the winter energy payment
