Kia ora everyone,

We’re so close to a huge milestone - nearly 10,000 signatures. That level of support is incredibly powerful, and we’re grateful to everyone who has signed and shared the petition so far.

To keep the momentum going, we still need your help. Please continue sharing the petition, encouraging your friends, family, and networks to get behind it. Every extra signature strengthens our position and every share brings in more signatures! 

Looking ahead, we want to be very clear about how important the submission process will be. Submissions are where decision-makers truly hear from individuals, not just numbers. They are a key part of this process and will carry significant weight in the final outcome.

When submissions open, we strongly encourage you to take the time to send one in. Personal, genuine submissions explaining why this matters to you can make a real and lasting impact.

Thank you for standing with us and for your ongoing support. Let’s keep pushing forward together.

Ngā mihi nui,

Rachael Asher
