Year after year after year ad infinitum, Dr. St. John has trumpeted the urgent need to alleviate child poverty. Year after year after year, successive governments have "kicked the can down the road," insuring that ever greater numbers of children and their families suffer. Shame. JG
Thanks Bernard and Susan… as far as I’m aware this issue hasn’t been covered at all (or in any meaningful detail) by the media ‘ budget reportage’. Really appreciate you highlighting this issue…. Now, off to chat with Nats supporting mates to raise this issue 😬😬
Everything I read in the budget seemed to be a further attack on the poor, disgusting. $93 Million in case management what a joke, only one benefiting are the lucky few to get a case management role with govt.
Nicky No Boats propaganda about this budget and this household-analogy bullshit about getting back to surplus and the budget being responsible measure relies on false claims about the level of public debt (net public debt is actually roughly 20% lower as a % of GDP than she claims) and defining a 'surplus' using a measure that she devised (OBEGALx) that differs from the measure that has been used by all previous governments.
I appreciate your work and clarification on what is not in the Budget to alleviate child poverty.

So much respect for you, Susan. Kia ora rawa atu.
Love these mini-Hoons, Bernard. 🙏
