Our Children, Our Choice: Priorities for Policy Our children, our choice: priorities for policy A Child Poverty Action Group Monograph Edited by M. Claire Dale, Mike O’Brien and Susan St John About Child Poverty Action Group Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) is an independent charity working to eliminate child poverty in New Zealand through research, education and advocacy. CPAG believes that New Zealand’s high rate of child poverty is not the result of economic necessity, but is due to policy neglect and a flawed ideological emphasis on economic incentives. Through research, CPAG highlights the position of tens of thousands of New Zealand children, and promotes public policies that address the underlying causes of the poverty they live in. If you would like to support CPAG’s work, please visit our website: www.cpag.org.nz About the Editors This series is edited by M.Claire Dale, Mike O’Brien and Susan St John.

  • The Stolen Stars of Matariki by Miriama Kamo Illustrated by Zak Waipara
    teacher notes The Stolen Stars of Matariki By Miriama Kamo Illustrated by Zak Waipara Synopsis The Stolen Stars of Matariki is a picture book story about two children, Sam and Te Rerehua, visiting Grandma and Pōua at Te Mata Hāpuku (Birdling’s Flat). While collecting agate and fishing for eels from the beach they look up at the stars and their grandmother tells them stories. One night Grandma notices two Matariki stars are missing from the sky. They then discover some naughty patupaiarehe playing on the beach with two glowing rocks. It’s up to Sam and Te Rerehua to save the stars. The two fair-headed children blend in with the patupaiarehe on the beach and ask what is happening. The patupaiarehe spend so much time skiting about what they’re going to do with the two stolen stars they don’t notice it’s nearly sunrise. When Te Rerehua tells them the sun is coming up, the patupaiarehe run from the beach, fearing their delicate white skins will burn. Pōua launches the two Matariki stars back up into the sky with his eeling gaff, and the nine stars of Matariki are back together again. The grandparents and children then carry their freshly caught eels home. About the Book’s Creator Miriama Kamo is an award-winning journalist. She is the anchor of TVNZ’s flagship current affairs programme Sunday and Māori current affairs programme Marae.

  • Miriama Kamo
    Miriama Kamo Twitter Award winning journalist Miriama Kamo grew up in South Brighton, Christchurch. Of Ngai Tahu and Ngati Mutunga descent (from her father) and Scottish/Irish (from her mother) - she grew up with a love of story-telling which steered her towards journalism. This saw her enroll in a three-year journalism course at the NZ Broadcasting School in Christchurch. Shortly after graduating, she promptly landed her first job in television as a reporter and presenter on Get Real - a science and discovery show for children. A year later she moved to Wellington, and began work as a reporter on TV3's Sunday with Mike Hosking (later to become Backch@t with Bill Ralston). Miriama stayed on with Backch@t for almost three years. Australia's sunny shores called to Miri, who then moved to Sydney - taking a short break from television. After disastrous experiences working as a receptionist at an advertising agency, a trainee typesetter and a waitress - she returned home, accepting a presenter role on TVNZ's Sunday. During her three year stint, she won the prestigious Best Current Affairs Reporter gong at the Qantas Media Awards in 2005. Miriama then spent an impressive six years manning the hull of TVNZ's popular current affairs show 20/20, before eventually returning to TVNZ’s Sunday as a correspondent and anchor. She has also presented for current affairs programme Marae and lifestyle show Kiwi Living. As an MC Miriama’s natural warmth, professionalism and poise shines through allowing guests and organisers to relax and enjoy any event. She's bubbly and engaging, with an infectious and ready smile.
