The move to the 'Red' setting in New Zealand's Covid-19 Protection Framework has left thousands of Kiwis who work in the live events and adjacent industries completely without work for the foreseeable future. Throughout previous covid frameworks, kiwis have had access to wage subsidies and resurgence payments - However, this time around no such support has been made available despite some industries being totally unable to operate. After an already brutal 2021 for the music and live events industry especially, being left without work again in 2022 could see the decimation of many livelihoods. By signing this petition you support the case of assistance for the workers and businesses who have worked so hard to keep these industries afloat. Thank you
