Report from RNZ by Harry Lock
Wellington politicians are being urged to stop “bashing” those living in emergency accommodation, and start including them in their discussions for solutions.
A public meeting to discuss safety in Wellington took place in the CBD last night, organised by National MP Nicola Willis.
Gang presence, along with higher numbers of people living in emergency housing, was cited as a source of public safety concern.
“I have had numerous people reach out to me to share their quite frankly harrowing stories of the experiences they have had,” Willis told the audience.
Around 150 people turned up to the public meeting at Naumi Hotel on Cuba Street.
