I'm half a world away, but this is such an important issue I made time to talk to Kate Green at RNZ about the DSS Bill.
I am thankful to Kate for covering it, and to Victoria Coleman, Blake Forbes, and Prudence Walker for speaking out about this Bill as well:

The bill follows a Supreme Court ruling that two carers of adult children with disabilies were employees of the government, and therefore entitled to the same legal protections and benefits.
