Update:

Friday, 8 March 2013 1:30 Peaceful Protest out side MP Electorate Offices:

https://hef.org.nz/2013/media-release-21-call-for-peaceful-protests-on-social-security-bill/

https://hef.org.nz/beneficiaries/mp-electorate-office-for-peaceful-protest/

Social Security (Benefit Categories and Work Focus) Amendment Bill

Make a submission: Reject compulsory Early Education for 3 year olds

The Most effective thing we can be doing over the NEXT TWO weeks is to contact the 11 Select Committee Members by letter/email/phone/visits and the Peaceful Protest outside each electorate office 8 March 2013 at 1:30pm. Remember this week Parliament is in recess – so your MP should be in his electorate office – making it easier to contact them.

There are three new MPs on the Select Committee. I am not sure if they heard our submissions or not. Please make sure that you include them in all your correspondence you have sent to the Select Committee.

Over the next two weeks please write letters and emails to these MPs

Please also phone and visit these MPS
