Want my seat in Parliament for 2 days?

Ginny Andersen - List MP based in Hutt South

Are you or someone you know aged 16-18 years old on 19 October 2018? Do you live in the Hutt South electorate? Are you active in your community and passionate about youth issues, politics or social change?

Youth Parliament is coming up in 2019. Apply to be my representative with a 2-minute video or 1-page letter with the following:

- Why you should represent the youth of Hutt South
- How you would make Hutt South a better place
- How you would make New Zealand a better place

Send your entry with home address, email address, phone number and name of your high school or university by 5pm 23 September 2018 to youthmp4ginny@gmail.com

I’ll pick 5 entries to do a 5-minute speech in my Petone Office on 8 October 2018 and from these I’ll pick my Youth MP representative.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
