ACT's Brooke van Velden on End of Life Choice Act, COP26 and ACT's 'Vax Break Policy': November 3, 2021

This week Zazi and Brooke talk about the End of Life Choice Act, COP26 and The Act Party’s “Vax Break Policy”.

First off, the two talk about the End of Life Choice Act. Brooke shares how she has been involved in implementing the legislation, whether she expects New Zealanders to immediately use it, and how widespread concerns are about this Act.

Secondly, Zazi speaks to Brooke about COP26, and whether Brooke still thinks it was the wrong move for James Shaw to attend. Zazi also asks Brooke about India Logan-Riley's speech at COP26, to see if she agrees that climate change issues are rooted in colonialism.

And finally, Brooke talks about the ACT Party's 'Vax Break Policy'. She discusses how a $250 tax credit could increase vaccination numbers, if there has been any interest or support shown from other Parties or the Government, and why she believes incentive is an important angle to think about, aside from general access to vaccinations.
