Poll: Should former defence force interpreters get the same access to care that Kiwi veterans do?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from South Waikato News

Hi neighbours,
Former Afghan interpreters in New Zealand are struggling to cope with the after-effects of war.
While nightmares and panic attacks keep some from sleeping, others rely on alcohol to put themselves to sleep.

Hi neighbours,
Former Afghan interpreters in New Zealand are struggling to cope with the after-effects of war.
While nightmares and panic attacks keep some from sleeping, others rely on alcohol to put themselves to sleep.
These former Afghan interpreters, awarded medals for serving with Kiwi troops, are desperate for support, but they don't qualify as Kiwi veterans and can therefore not access funded counselling and medicines.

So we want to know, should former defence force interpreters get the same access to care that Kiwi veterans do?

Through these tough times we have learned the true strength and resilience of our communities and have witnessed first hand the abundance of aroha in Aotearoa.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.

The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.

From Warkworth to Wigmore Hall, New Zealand star baritone Julien Van Mellaerts and South African pianist James Baillieu take you on a journey of the song from Schubert, Ravel and Vaughan Williams, to a world premiere setting of iconic NZ birds by Gareth Farr.

This journey through the world of art song and Lieder probes the human psyche with an intensity no other genre, not even opera, is permitted. Unhinged. Gruelling. Hallucinatory. Joyful. Beautiful. This ranks as the most searing experience any music lover can undergo.

Julien Van Mellaerts & James Baillieu: touring NZ 10-16 April

I have gotten so much out of toastmasters not only did it teach me to manage my nerves but also to gather my thoughts and think while I speak, how to express myself effectively, I have also gained leadership skills as well as mentoring. In addition to all these benefits I have certainly met some very interesting people and been part of a very supportive groups that learn and have fun toastmaster nights together. We will be having a demo meet up again on the Thursday the 4th of April, please feel free to check out our facebook page Tokoroa Forestlands Toastmasters for details we keep it updated and post our meetups on there. We would like to have as many guests as possible so everyone is most welcome.
