About this event

Budget 2022- What does it mean for children living in poverty?

CPAG WBOP are proud to host this 2022 Post-Budget speaker event on 24 May.

The Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) Regional Network for the WBOP first met in December 2020 and has become a well established collaborative, under the umbrella of CPAG National.

Child poverty is of ongoing concern in Aotearoa NZ. The presence of the Covid-19 pandemic has further placed a disproportionate burden on those in our communities that are least resourced to weather the storm. Various media channels report on a regular basis on some of the challenges faced by those that live in poverty/deprivation. The recent added impacts of increasing inflationary pressures are further widening the gap between segments of our society and are only the last of a number of documented challenges facing a significant and growing proportion of our population.

You are warmly invited to join us and our keynote speakers, hear what the 2022 Budget means for our children/tamariki experiencing poverty, let's shine the light on child poverty - together.

Max Rashbrooke - Senior associate, Institute for Governance and Policy Studies

I write about two of the biggest issues in the modern world – democratic renewal and economic inequality – and their potential to shape our societies for better or worse.New Zealand based but globally engaged, I carry out original research and bring it to a wide audience through my books, my collaborations with artists and data visualisation experts, and public lectures such as my TED.com talk on upgrading democracy, which has had over 1m views.

My writing and commentary appears in outlets such as the Guardian and Prospect magazine, and I write a fortnightly column for Stuff, New Zealand’s largest news site. Running through everything I do is a profound belief that for societies to flourish, everyone needs their fair share of a country’s wealth and the opportunity to fully participate, as an equal, in the democratic process.
