Ep 2: “You promised me safety and stability.”

Welcome to Whakarongo - the podcast representing the voices of thousands of tamariki and rangatahi in state care in Aotearoa.

Last year, we marched to parliament calling on the government to uphold six promises relating to our basic rights, and this year we’re talking to the young people affected by those promises being broken.

This episode is about Ihorangi Reweti Peters - and the promise of safety and stability.

We also talk to VOYCE CEO Tracie Shipton, about her experience as a caregiver, and how she came to be involved in the care sector.
