Fighting for Democracy

  Registration is closed for this event

What is driving the coalition government’s undermining of democracy? 

We see National, ACT and NZ First 

  • cutting back voting rights with the planned electoral law reform
  • cutting back protest rights
  • refusing to lower the voting age despite the Supreme Court ruling in favour of Make it 16  (they declared that the current voting age is discrimatory)

Journalist and lawyer Ollie Neas talks with the Make it 16 team of Thomas Pope-Kerr (also youth vice-president of the Labour Party), Caitlin Taylor and Sanat Singh.
