What's Been Happening
The Great Southern Marmite Drive
This afternoon we were proud to formally donate the Dunedin proceeds
from The Great Southern Marmite Drive to the Dunedin Combined
Foodbanks c/o Presbyterian Support Otago. The team at PS Otago took
us through the foodbank where the cupboard was shockingly bare. It
isn't until you see it with your own eyes that you fully understand the

very real need for private charity and community support.
Our thanks goes out to the team at PS Otago for what they do for the
community, and we look forward to working with them again this year.
If you'd like to find out more, head over to the PS Otago Facebook
Page, or follow them on Twitter. We'd encourage everybody to
consider grabbing an extra can of something the next time you're at the
supermarket, and dropping it into the nearest available foodbank bin.
Brighter Voices: Policy Forum
We recently held our first of
two Policy Forums where
Members were invited to come
along and discuss the
potential policies that the
YNSR would put forward tothe New Zealand Young
Nationals Conference. After
good discussion amongst
those present, the following five policy priorities were chosen by
Members: (1) equal rights under the law for same sex couples; (2) drug
law reform; (3) introducing civics education into the secondary school
curriculum; (4) re-prioritising support for mental health care; and (5)
death with dignity (euthanasia) reform.
Now we move onto developing these policies further and then
presenting them to the NZYN Conference for adoption. If you'd like
more information please get in touch with John.

In the Super Rugby, we're storming up the leaderboard, and now only
3 points separates us and current leader John Brinsley-Pirie. We
managed the top score this week, along with Scott Miller and Tim
Shiels. A few zeroes this round, so don't forget to get your tips in on
time!
Membership
As always, I encourage anybody who
hasn't already done so, to sign up
with the Party
atyoungnats.org.nz/join/ as
either a Member or a Supporter so
that we can ensure you're entered into
our system. As we move towards the
real decision making forums in the
year, it's a good opportunity to have
serious input into the workings of
government. Check out
our Facebook Page for more regular discussions, and add me on
Facebookif you'd like access to our Members & Supporters only group
on Facebook where we discuss further internal Party matters.
On a personal note this week, I start my new full-time job at the
University of Otago on April 23, so we're going to do a bit of
rebalancing with the external communications from YNSR, but my
hopes are that I can still maintain the weekly newsletter for you all.
For those students on holiday next week, do enjoy yourself, and come
back refreshed and ready for the Mainland Conference. For everybody
else, have a great week at work!
Cheers,
James Rawiri Meager
Chair
