  • 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.

  • Open Letter: Free Public Transport for ALL Students under 25 to keep every young person in education
    We the undersigned are writing to address the crisis facing our young people.  Aotearoa New Zealand is in the grip of a fuel crisis driven by conflict in the Middle East. Petrol prices have surged past $4 a litre in some parts of the country, and the consequences are being felt most acutely by families who cannot afford bus fares, let alone drive their children to school. Students who rely on public transport to reach university and higher education campuses are also feeling it.  This Open Letter is grounded in the Government’s own words and commitments. The Prime Minister, Minister of Education and Minister of Transport have all spoken clearly about their determination to protect education during this crisis. We are simply asking them to match their words with urgent action, for every child and young person in this country, whether they live in a city, on a farm and everywhere in between. The solution is simple: Free Fares for all children, young people and under 25’s Therefore, we call on the Government to respond to this crisis by: • Immediately reinstate free public transport for all children and young people aged 5-18 on buses, trains and ferries across Aotearoa for the duration of the fuel crisis and beyond. • Immediately reinstate free or half-price public transport for all young people aged 19-25 enrolled in tertiary education (university, polytechnic or any other approved provider of higher education).  • Restore all rural school bus routes that were cancelled or amended in the 2024 Ministry of Education reviews and impose a permanent moratorium on further cancellations until a full community-led review of rural transport is completed.  • Lower the eligibility threshold for government funded rural bus services from eight students to four, as recommended by Federated Farmers, to better reflect the realities of rural communities.  • Guarantee that school bus operators are resourced to continue running rural routes despite rising diesel costs, by classifying school transport as an essential service and ensuring diesel fuel is prioritised for school buses in any future fuel rationing phases.  • Work with NZTA and regional councils to rapidly implement free urban fare changes. • Commit to making free fares for under 18s permanent policy beyond the immediate crisis, as long-term investment in the education and well-being of New Zealand’s children and young people. The Government has said, in its own words, that it will take ‘every step necessary” to keep children in the classroom. We are calling on Ministers to take the most obvious and proven steps available to them: restore free and subsidised fares, restore cancelled bus routes, and fund the school buses that rural children depend on. “We do not want to see children outside the classroom as occurred during Covid. We do not want to see children forced to learn from home. We think maintaining access to schools through all of these phases is essential, and the Ministry of Education are working actively on plans to ensure that. This generation have already had years of learning disrupted by the Covid experience that had a marked impact on their achievement, and we will be taking every step necessary to keep kids learning in the classroom.” - Finance Minister Nicola Willis, ‘Government Fuel Crisis Rationing Plan Announcement’, 29 March 2026 (RNZ/Scoop). “I just want to be clear: kids are going to school, they are not sitting at home. This is not Covid, this is about a fuel crisis.’ -  Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, 27 March 2026 (RNZ). These are strong and unambiguously clear commitments. But promises alone will not get a child onto a bus. The Government must now provide the practical means to back these promises up and free public transport is the most direct and effective tool available.

  • Don't Dump on the East: Stop the Ocean Outfall Bypass
    To the Christchurch City Council ​We, the residents of Bromley, the surrounding East side neighborhoods, and the wider Ōtautahi community, demand an immediate halt to the investigation into diverting partially treated wastewater through the ocean outfall.  ​Why this matters The air quality from the Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant is actively worsening, and the reality of the situation is reflected in the current abatement notice. Instead of focusing all resources on an immediate, root-cause solution at the plant, the Council is investigating a "diversion" option that the community vehemently opposes. [1] ​We are drawing a hard line: ​No Ocean Dumping: We absolutely refuse to accept the dumping of partially treated wastewater into our ocean as a band-aid solution. It is unacceptable for our city and our environment. ​Stop the Waste: Spending millions of dollars of public money just to investigate an option the community will never accept is entirely irresponsible. ​Focus on the Fix: We demand that the Council stop this investigation immediately and redirect those millions of dollars toward actual, permanent solutions at the plant that do not involve sacrificing our marine environment. ​Our Demand: For CCC to permanently remove the ocean outfall diversion from the Pond Resilience Project options and halt all related spending and investigations immediately.

  • Urgent Visa Pathways and Family Reunification for Iranians
    We urge the New Zealand Government to create pathways to allow for Iranian New Zealanders to sponsor family members currently dealing with the ongoing human rights crisis and war engulfing Iran, and enable for the reunification of Iranians with their family members.  We see the current conflict as increasing the risks of persecution and repression towards our family members in Iran which have already been longstanding and prevalent. We consider the 2022 Special Ukraine Visa to be a helpful precedent which can be replicated with the Iranian community. In addition, we urge the Government to urgently review the Parent Resident Visa ballot and prioritise Iranian applicants, as many have been waiting in the queue with no clarity as to timeframes or next steps.  We also seek blanket extensions for all Iranians currently on temporary visas in New Zealand (whether student, work or visitor visas), as the current conditions in Iran are unsafe for their return.

  • Bring back Tiriti-based, inclusive Relationships & Sexuality Education in schools
    We all want all of Aotearoa’s young people, whānau and communities to be able to have loving and respectful connections, and to live with confidence, free from bullying, stalking, abuse and all forms of violence. Relationships & Sexuality Education (RSE) in schools is an important support for this vision, as it is Aotearoa’s key cornerstone of prevention of bullying, abuse and violence, including family violence, and sexual violence. RSE is vital to supporting respectful relationship norms, respect for diversity, and safe online interactions for rangatahi in all our communities, helping to make and keep people safe and free  - including those most targeted by relationship violence and/or online abuse: women (cis and trans); people who identify as LGBTQI+, Rainbow and/or queer; and disabled people.   In 2020, RSE school guidelines [1] were introduced that were expert-led, and inclusive of Tiriti o Waitangi, and diverse sexualities, gender identities and cultures. The guidelines were world-leading in supporting healthy and respectful relationships and attitudes among young people as well as their confidence and self-esteem, and were fit-for-purpose to help prevent relationship violence.   But right now, the government is proposing to permanently remove this key cornerstone of early prevention of violence: Tiriti-based, inclusive, expert-led Relationships & Sexuality Education in schools.    In its place, the government is proposing inappropriate and inadequate relationships and “sex” education – no longer “sexuality” education – in the Health & PE curriculum currently out for consultation. [2] The government’s proposed RSE fails in the critical missions of violence prevention and support of respect and social wellbeing in multiple ways, as dozens of health experts and community organisations have already advised Minister Erica Stanford [3]. The latest curriculum draft ignores nearly all their advice.  The RSE proposals “underserve rangatahi Māori and will not reduce inequities in sexual violence victimisation.” - Associate Professor of Psychology, Jade Le Grice (Ngai Tupoto, Ngati Korokoro, Ngati Wharara, Te Pouka), University of Auckland [4]  “This curriculum sidesteps several critical issues… This puts young people’s safety at risk - both within and outside school” – Jackie Edmond, Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa (formerly Family Planning) [5]   “It is clear that the changes outlined … are not in good faith, and are not about evidence-based violence prevention. This draft ... would be a deliberate step backwards and would represent a shocking and shameful failure to do our best for our children and rangatahi.” – Deborah Mackenzie, Backbone Collective [6]  We, the undersigned, oppose the government’s ideological and non-expert approach to changing RSE for rangatahi, which will reduce support for  young people’s safety, confidence and respect for each other. We oppose the government’s resulting proposed relationships and “sex education” curriculum, including the following aspects:   1. The dishonouring of  Te Tiriti o Waitangi  2. The absence of respect for diverse gender identities  3. The absence of respect for diverse sexualities  4. A lack of genuine engagement with multicultural perspectives, normalising a monocultural, Pākehā view of the world. (More detail on these four concerns is given in the "updates" section below.)  Together, these moves are regressive and narrow, contravening the rights of children, young people, and all our communities to be their whole selves, and to live free from discrimination, harassment and violence.   In addition, the government’s dismantling of RSE as a key cornerstone of violence prevention  is further evidence of the government’s structural disrespect for women: they have removed support for gender pay equity, and they are also removing support for gender equity in safety and freedom. As well as removing RSE, they have halted the rollout of ACC sexual violence prevention initiatives and defunded women’s self-defence classes and women’s centres. Minister of Education, we ask you to  1. Immediately reinstate the expert-led, Tiriti-based and LGBTQI+ inclusive 2020 Relationships & Sexuality Education guidelines, for the prevention of bullying, abuse and violence  2. Start and maintain an ongoing process of updating and improving the 2020 guidelines and underlying curriculum, to ensure they’re always fit-for-purpose for all communities (including disabled children) in a fast-changing and increasingly online world. The ongoing improvement process should   i. Honour te Tiriti o Waitangi by ensuring decision-making is shared across Tiriti partners: tangata whenua and the Crown, in all development of RSE   ii. Be led by experts, including Māori experts, in Māori and non-Māori education, violence prevention and health  3. Scrap the proposed counter-productive 2026 relationships and “sex education” curriculum, which is exclusionary, fragmented, and not fit-for-purpose, and which will reduce the effectiveness and strength of violence prevention in schools  4. Implement the Education Review Office recommendations [7] to increase consistency in RSE teaching across schools, while retaining the right of parents to remove  their children from RSE if they wish.   Minister, we hope you will be guided by what is best for our rangatahi: a future of respectful relationships, safety and freedom from bullying, abuse and violence.
