Labour and the Alliance have joined National and
Act in voting down Green MP Sue Bradford's bill that would
have had the Emergency Unemployment Benifit (EUB) available
to all students during the upcoming summer holidays. Under
the current scheme, if you cannot prove absolute perental
poverty and are under the age of 25, you can expect no
assistance from the government in paying for accomodation,
food and other basic necessities. For the majority of
students, those who do not qualify for the EUB, this is
terrible news. Many will be forced to rely on foodbanks,
loans and charity to survive. Don't let this happen again.
we demand immediate reinstatement of the EUB.
S.O.S.- stop the Summer of Starvation
Demonstrate this Friday!
