    Kia ora. Do you remember when we were look at the electoral system in New Zealand and we tried to get our heads around the US Electoral College system?  Its good to see we were not the only ones confused as even some American voters were unsure how the numbers worked.  I have had to explain to some people I have talked to that there is a MINIMUM age to be President of the US.  Isn't that incredible.  I guess the adage that wisdom comes with age influenced that requirement, but look at the opportunites for change that a younger set of experiences may have provided.  Especially when the candidates taunt each other about their ages!  This week, we are going to continue looking at another environment where age affects the way you are treated - employment legislation in New Zealand.  You will hopefully, continue earning your certificates of completion from the employment website and also explore the legislation around the youth employment scenarios I have provided to you.
