Family for Every Child, VOYCE - Whakarongo Mai and Grandparents Raising Grandchildren have come together to collaborate with Tick 4 Kids, a movement designed to stimulate conversation around what must be done to improve the lives of children and young people in Aotearoa.
Today on the Wire Beth spoke to Christina Howe from Grandparents Raising Grandchildren about Tick 4 Kids’ scorecard, a survey that Family, VOYCE and GRG contributed to, that asks political parties which policy solutions surrounding care and protection they will implement if elected.
Other scorecards have been developed across other liveable incomes including housing, health, education, belonging, climate action and youth justice.
Earlier this year Green Party MP Chloe Swarbrick had an alcohol harm minimisation bill voted down by Parliament which would have limited alcohol advertising in sports amongst other measures.
Since today is their 18th bday, Caeden spoke to Chloe about her bill and the drinking culture that kicks in with the drinking age.
They started by asking if Aotearoa has a drinking culture problem.
The big 18 currently means the chance to vote, especially relevant when like Caeden, you’re turning 18 in the middle of a voting period.
They chatted with former Co-Director of Make it 16 Sanat Singh about why keeping the vote age 18 is not a good idea, and why voter turn-out is currently so low amongst 18 to 25-year-olds.
Full disclosure: They were part of Make it 16 with Sanat but couldn’t pass up on an opportunity to talk about the voting age on the day they're finally able to vote.
