COMING SATURDAY | THE WAIKATO ADVOCATE
EXCLUSIVE: Our first major investigation launches Saturday, 10 October.
We’ll be sharing the stories of Mere and Blake* — two very different backgrounds, but both facing challenges with health, the cost of living and accessing support.
We’ve spoken with those involved and sought responses from community leaders, organisations and government agencies.
Two stories. We ask whether the support system meant to protect vulnerable New Zealanders is working as intended?
The investigation begins Saturday and will be published here first at waikatoadvocate.co.nz.
