Survey finds wide support for greater income support
Seven out of 10 New Zealanders support giving greater income support to those on low wages, or unemployed. The UMR poll was commissioned by more than 40 separate organisations, including unions, social service providers, and kaupapa Māori groups. It surveyed more than 1100 people over January and February. The Child Rights Advocacy and Research Director at Save The Children New Zealand, Jacqui Southey, spoke to RNZ reporter Harry Lock.
