Under the Public Finance Act, the government is required to release a report on child poverty as part of the budget process.
The report for 2026, released last week, shows that New Zealand is far from on-track to meet its goal of reducing child poverty to 6% by 2028. One of the key measures of this - material hardship - was not even able to be estimated by the Treasury, but was calculated to be sitting at 14.3% in the financial year 2024/25.
With community providers, such as foodbanks, reporting increased hardship in the community, it seems highly unlikely that the government will meet previous targets for reductions in child poverty.
So, to speak on the government’s approach so far, and what the recent Child Poverty report tells us, Producer Theo was joined by Honorary Associate Professor at the University of Auckland, Susan St John.
IT'S BUDGET WEEK and despite the modesty of this budget, the news cycle has been rolling in.
Key to the budget is the gutting of the public service, with an additional 9000 thousand Kiwi’s working in government services set to be gone by 2029 on top of the thousands the government let go earlier this term.
Seemingly as a part of this, The Social Security (Modernisation) Amendment Bill will enable automated or ‘robo’ decision making within the Ministry of Social Development. Taking humans out of benefits and disability payment decisions, a practice that came to a dark end in Australia with many recipients wrongfully lumped with debt that the government eventually had to foot. Here in New Zealand it is made even more alarming by being sped through parliament under urgency, removing the oversight and guardrails that reforms would normally face.
And if they will have to foot the bill in the long run, is the government really making the savings they claim? The Green Party wants to ask this question in regards to our climate commitments. They say that poor caretaking of our Emissions Trading Scheme has led to the failure of recent auctions of credits, leading the government to be over a billion dollars behind and failing to meet our international commitments, which will cost the country even more.
So for our weekly catch-up w/ the Green Party, Host Manny spoke with MP Ricardo Menéndez March about the budget, do the numbers add up? And what are the consequences to cutting people out of the hard choices.
