Candidates and Human Rights Disability Commissioner in Kaitaia

Published 08 November 2011, Posted in Northland Candidates and Human Rights Disability Commissioner in Kaitaia

Attendance to our recent ‘Political Engagement = Disability Empowerment’ hui in Whangarei highlighted the interest from the disabled community to standing candidates policies around disability and their responses to some local disability issues.

The Far North disability community will have a chance to hear from candidates at the Baptist Church on Thursday 17 November. We look forward to meeting and hearing from Lynette Stewart (Labour Party), Sue Bradford and Ngawai Herewini (Mana Party) and Pauline Evans (Green Party). 

Speaking first though will be the new Human Rights Disability Commissioner Paul Gibson.  Paul will be speaking about the role of the Commission and is looking forward to meeting the disabled community to hear about the issues that are a barrier to them participating in their community.

Please find below our programme and panui for this event.
