Child Poverty Action Group in association with University of Auckland - Dept. of Paediatrics and Dept. of General Practice and Primary Health Care; Auckland University of Technology-Institute of Public Policy; Public Health Association invites you to:
Surplus to requirements? Who gains from the 2005 Budget? our Fifth Annual Post-Budget Breakfast
7:30am - 8:45am, 20 May 2005, Old Government House, Waterloo Quadrant, Auckland City.
Last year's Budget promised much, and delivered some: but not to the most vulnerable children in our community. 175,000-plus children were allowed to fall between the gaps, amidst growing inequality between the haves and have nots in Aotearoa - New Zealand. Special guest speakers will scrutinise the budget and the government's latest policy directions, while you eat!
What relief, if any, is there for our poorest children in this budget?
Will 2005 be the year for a credible national child poverty reduction strategy?
Speakers: Prof. Tim Hazledine, Dept of Economics, University of Auckland Prof. Innes Asher, Dept of Paediatrics, University of Auckland Dr. Susan St John, Dept of Economics, University of Auckland
MC: Assoc. Prof. Love Chile, Institute of Public Policy(AUT)
