Child Poverty Action Group not happy with latest figures
'Shocking and disappointing', Those are the words the Child Poverty Action Group are using to describe the state of child poverty in New Zealand following a new report from Statistics New Zealand. Over two years, the new figures show more children are moving out of poverty - but not quickly enough. Disabled children and Maori and Pasifika children are in urgent need of further support. Innes Asher is a spokesperson for Child Poverty Action Group.
