NOTE: The Christchurch Progressive Network is not a party-political organisation but we have taken the step of inviting a Green MP and local election candidate for Te Tai Tonga electorate to speak at this public meeting because the issues at the heart of her personal experiences on a benefit are of critical national importance – and no better time for them to be discussed that in the heart of an election campaign.

The media may have hounded her out of her co-leadership of the Greens but we refuse to allow the issues she raised to be swept aside. This will be a meeting not to be missed. A poster to circulate will be sent out later today.
