The People’s Select Committee

  • The People’s Select Committee was put together by Marilyn Waring, an ex National MP to take submissions from the public retrospectively on the Equal Pay Amendment Bill when the government failed to do so.

    These hearings are incredibly powerful and come from women across race, class and political background in Aotearoa.

    We highly recommend watching them.

Watch: Equal Pay Bill Readings

  • Watch the hearings yourself! If you missed watching the bill being discussed and debated in Parliament, your’e not alone - opposition MPs had only a few hours notice that the proposed amendments were going to take place.

    There are some particularly good responses from the opposition that breakdown what this bill means. Its not complicated, that’s just how it’s meant to seem to stop people from understanding.

    1. Committee of the Whole House

    2. The First Reading

    3. The Second Reading
