Make the TVNZ Election debates accessible.

Kim Robinson from Deaf Action New Zealand

Every vote counts right?

To make every vote count, every voter needs access to candidates and their party policies to a make an informed decision before placing their voting choice.

It's hard when information is limited for countless Deaf and Hard of Hearing voters in NZ.

TVNZ is hosting series of Election debates. TVNZ will only be captioning the Televised debate. They don't want to add a NZSL interpreter to this.

The Young voters debate is being livestream. This won't have captioning or a NZSL Interpreter.

Young Deaf and Hard of Hearing voters end up being excluded from this.

Come on TVNZ - make your Election debates fully accessible.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Edmund Hillary Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
