Meet our Ethnic Women Candidates: NZ Election 2020

Todd Nachowitz from EarthDiverse

“Meet the Ethnic Women Candidates: NZ Elections 2020 Webinar series”
1. Tue 29th Sep 2020, 6:00-7:30pm
2. Wed 30th Sep 2020, 6:00-7:30pm

Hosted by the Ethnic Women in Politics (EWP) project at the University of Auckland and University of Waikato, with support from the Marsden Fund, Royal Society and EarthDiverse, the ‘Meet the Ethnic Women Candidates: NZ Elections 2020’ webinar series features two panel discussions with women candidates from minority ethnic communities who represent the major political parties in the upcoming 2020 New Zealand elections. The use of the term ‘Ethnic’ is defined as non-Māori, non-Pacific and non-Pākeha. Globally, we are observing an increased spotlight on women leaders from minority ethnic groups, often as voices of resistance to and transformation within established political systems.

Poll: Would you help your kids out with buying a home?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

OPINION: Over the past year, I’ve had the same conversation with many Waikato families again and again.

A child has found a house. The market feels like it’s moving. There’s pressure to act quickly. And before anyone has really had time to think it through, parents are being asked to step in with cash, guarantees, or equity from their own home.

Would you help your kids out with buying a home? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
