Former Labour MP and ACT party leader Richard Prebble gives his take on New Zealand’s current socio-economic issues, spotlighting two “alarming” statistics.
“After six years of Labour, the number of children in material hardship is higher than when Labour came to office.
To compare, Prebble says in the four years preceding Labour, under National, 60,000 children were lifted out of material hardship.
The total number of people on Jobseeker has reached 189,000,” he says.
