ABOUT US

New Zealand has some of the highest levels of social problems of the world’s developed countries and one of highest levels of inequality. There is a causal relationship between the two. Something needed to be done about this bad situation in New Zealand, and so Income Equality Aotearoa New Zealand Inc was set up. We are a voluntary, national organisation formally incorporated, with currently over 2000 supporters.

OUR MISSION

Our aim is to raise public awareness of the benefits of a more equal society to such a level that our leaders take notice and act. He waka eke noa--A canoe on which everyone may embark
