Feed the Kids Bill Deferred – Harawira
Posted on July 10, 2013 by admin in Hone Harawira, Press ReleasesFeed the Kids Bill Deferred
Hone Harawira, Leader of MANA and MP for Te Tai Tokerau
Tuesday 9 July 2013
“Unfortunately, my Feed the Kids “Education (Breakfast and Lunch Programmes in Schools) Amendment Bill” will not come up in Parliament tomorrow because of an urgent issue in the Tai Tokerau which I have been asked to attend to.
The Bill will now go to the bottom of the Order Paper and will come up again in due course.
“I’m actually pleased it’s worked out this way because the issue has become a political football and that’s not right; feeding our kids should be our first priority as a decent society.
“We will now re-group and work on building even greater support for when the Bill comes up again. I extend a huge thank you to everyone involved for their efforts up till now, and I will be calling a meeting in the next few weeks to plan the next phase of the campaign.
