Hello Bryan,

I am very pleased that you are able to speak at the Problem Gambling Social Marketing Campaign Celebration, this Friday March 23.

The social marketing campaign has been designed by the Health Sponsorship council aims to raise awareness about the negative effects of gambling harm on individuals, families and communities. It is not aimed at increasing numbers of gamblers who seek help, although it is likely that the campaign will also result in an increase in presentations to treatment providers.

The campaign is being officially launched in Christchurch by the Honourable Ruth Dyson and celebrations have been organised throughout New Zealand to support the official launch.

The Wellington celebration will be on the Corner of Manners Mall and Cuba streets, beginning at 12.10 with some food and entertainment. The first speaker will be at 12.30. You will be at approximately 12.40 and can speak for 3 minutes. The other speakers will be MP Marion Hobbs, Green Party Spokesperson, Iona Pannett and local councillors Celia Wade-Brown.

Please find a background paper with information about the campaign attached. If you need any further information or assistance please do not hesitate to contact me on the details below.


Kind regards,

Louise Hill

Hi Louise
Last night at Full Council I moved an amendment to have a city wide cap with a sinking lid. Unfortunately it was lost by 1 vote. My amendment was supported by Celia, and 4 other Councillors.
Cheers
Bryan
