A new rangatahi-led campaign is calling on young people to help deliver the biggest youth-voter turnout in Aotearoa’s history.
‘Roll With Us’ has launched on Sunday as part of ‘On A Roll’, a kaupapa aimed at getting more young people enrolled and voting in this year’s general election.
Whenever I read about a new campaign, I get inquisitive. I check out their website. Who is involved. Who funds them etc.
They didn’t have a website a few days ago, but they do now. They say they are a collaboration between:
- Climate Club Aotearoa
- Social Change Collective
- Ngā Māhuri Tiaki | Forest & Bird Youth
To increase youth voter turnout by 15% across the motu, especially among rural, Māori, and Pasifika rangatahi.
No surprise who Maori and Pacifika youth tend to vote for.
And who are their key people. The co-convenor is Ethan Reille, who stood for Labour at the last election, and is an organiser for the PSA (which are running a Change the Government campaign)
Now I’m all for left wing lobby groups running get out the vote campaigns. But I bet you that a huge amount of taxpayer dollars has found their way to this group.

Why is this taxpayer union chap commenting on race issues again? I thought they were only interested in the public purse? Hager knows what’s up!
Corruption.
A worldwide trend pushed by the Left - including lowering the voting age to the maximum. What next? Votes for babies? Anything to achieve the aims of the cultural marxist-driven revolution .
Anon 10.36. What a great idea. Dont some groups consider rivers are now actually considered a 'person'? I have no doubt the left will soon be campaigning for allowing rivers to vote ...errrr i mean people, no rivers.....confused..... just ask a leftie for clarification. I'm sure they wont be able to. But just for a bit of fun, next time you see a leftie, wind them up by asking if the river needs to attend a voting booth? or do you have to take the voting paper to the river?
