Petition request

That the House of Representatives establish a subject select committee that considers business related to all New Zealand children's rights, care, and wellbeing.

Petition reason

I believe children are the largest disempowered sector of our society. Submissions relating to children are currently handled through a number of other select committees reducing the chance of submissions related to New Zealand children being heard, diluting attempts to protect those whom are neglected, abused, and murdered.
