This will be a series of speakers held monthly from February to August. The speakers would be experts in their area, and definitely not politicians. The topics will be something like:
Energy: Wow do we get enough at a reasonable price??
Health: What are the priorities towards the goal of good healthcare for all?
Housing:
Jobs and Wages:
How do we adapt to climate change and limit its effects?
What are our responsibilities to our neighbours in the Pacific?
Education: What do we need to do to ensure all our students reach their goals?
There will be a 35 minute speech and then 25 minutes of questions / statements. I have some speakers in mind, but I would welcome any suggestions. At a preliminary meeting in early February, those who wanted could meet and suggest some topics to be changed. I just see that I have not got anything about Te Tiriti or taxation! And we could also have a panel rather than one speaker to ensure different perspectives.
