The Turei debate has divided many voters, with some loyally standing behind Turei, and others saying they will no longer be voting for the Greens. However, has the conversation around the Green Party crisis and Metiria Turei not being fit to be a leader distracted from some of the broader systemic issues with how beneficiaries are looked at and treated within New Zealand? Ximena speaks to Canterbury University’s Bronwyn Hayward and Victoria University’s Claire Timperley to find out.

More than 30,000 people are protesting today for a better pay rise for teachers. Today is the first time primary and intermediate teachers are taking action in 24 years. There are dozens of protests taking place across the country.
In Auckland the march started at 11am at Fort St and will end up at Aotea Square, with more than 2000 people turning up to stand next to the teachers in solidarity. The teachers union New Zealand Education Institute say they are protesting to fix the teaching crisis, and need better investment in education so there can be a teacher in every class.
The New zealand educational institute are after a 16 percent pay rise over the next two years, as well as more funds for a special education needs coordinator in every school. The offer the government proposed was a pay rise between 2.2 and 2.6 percent each year for three years and more time to work individually with children or plan and assess learning.
