I have emailed this to the top five political parties

I intend to ask all political parties to respond to a report I have written on disabled people and marginalisation in New Zealand. A Comprehensive Analysis by Glen McMillan
I have produced five books. Some are now used as training manuals; all are available as e-books or PDF downloads from my website, www.childrenwithdisability.co.nz....
My book, Disabled People and Marginalisation in New Zealand, contains facts and statistics on the connection between crime and disability. I have used appropriate illustrations.
I would like you to please read the book or PDF. It is full of facts and statistics with links to government websites. I would also like you to read the other four books if you want to be in government. These are issues that need attention.
Five books
1# Disabled People and Marginalisation in New Zealand A Comprehensive Analysis by Glen McMillan
2: Inclusive Beginnings: Preparing Schools for Children with Diverse Abilities An Effective Guide by Glen McMillan 2023
3: Transitioning young disabled people into the workforce An effective guide by Glen McMillan
#4: The top ten most common learning disabilities
#5: Mysteries of the Human Body A Journey into Rare Disorders
All are available here. www.childrenwithdisability.co.nz...

Our resident song thrush has started building its nest in a hedge just outside your home, and this morning my wife got lucky catching it mid-flight, just before landing on the fence adjacent to the bush, with a beak full of construction material.
