This isn't just important. It's life-altering. I urge you to dive into these writings that are far more than ink on paper—they are windows into lived experiences

Take a moment before you cast that vote, and ponder—truly ponder—about who will be there to embrace and support our most vulnerable; the disabled children who are so often left on the margins, and their whānau who tirelessly advocate for them. Who will lend you a hand when life becomes unbearable? I've poured my heart into compiling an emotional and deeply insightful collection of e-books and PDFs that don't merely state facts—they scream the raw, unspoken realities that these families face every day.

This isn't just important. It's life-altering. I urge you to dive into these writings that are far more than ink on paper—they are windows into lived experiences, meticulously researched and detailed, yet drenched in raw emotion. Please, read and grasp the unsettling truths about the dire circumstances and genuine struggles these families endure.

Every word comes straight from the soul of Glen McMillan, the founder and CEO of the New Zealand charity, Children with Disability NZ. I've dedicated my life to making a difference; now it's your turn. Feel the urgency. Let your vote be the change we desperately need.

The Government of New Zealand has a commitment to the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD)

The New Zealand government has been actively working to support disabled people and make progress in this area. The government of New Zealand commits to the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which includes ensuring the rights, dignity, and well-being of disabled individuals.

Some key initiatives and areas of focus in New Zealand regarding disability support and progress include:

Enabling Good Lives (EGL): This initiative is a partnership between the government and the disability sector to provide disabled people with greater choice and control over their support services. It emphasizes shifting the focus from traditional, institution-based care to more community-based and person-centred approaches.
Disability Strategy: New Zealand has a Disability Strategy that outlines its goals and commitments to improving the lives of disabled people. The strategy addresses areas such as accessibility, participation, and removing barriers that disabled individuals may face.
Education: Efforts have been made to ensure disabled students have equal access to education. This includes providing support and accommodations within schools and higher education institutions.
Employment: The New Zealand government has programs in place to promote the employment of disabled individuals and to create inclusive workplaces.
Accessibility: There have been ongoing efforts to improve physical and digital accessibility, making public spaces, transportation, and online resources more accessible to disabled people.
Healthcare: New Zealand's healthcare system provides services and support tailored to the needs of disabled individuals.
Advocacy and Support Organizations: Various advocacy groups and support organizations in New Zealand work to represent the interests of disabled people and promote their rights and well-being.

Many initiatives listed above are failing. We need to ask why and let us get out there and vote.

To get the most up-to-date information on the government's initiatives and progress regarding disabled people in New Zealand, I recommend checking with official government websites, disability advocacy groups, and news sources for the latest developments and policies in this area. Progress can vary over time, and government priorities may shift in response to changing needs and circumstances.
