A child's potential is a terrrible thing to waste.

2012 Appeal
The High Court agrees that the In Work Tax Credit discriminates against some of our poorest children.

We need your help to stop Government discrimination and take our case to the Court of Appeal.
Our guiding principle, is the right of every child in New Zealand to security, food, shelter, education and healthcare. Child Poverty Action Group
