From Morning Report, 6:19 am on 25 August 2020

Auckland Council's Southern Initiative is warning South Auckland people will struggle to retrain and find jobs because they don't have internet connections.

The organisation set up to foster social and economic development is urging the government to connect South Auckland homes.

Tania Pouwhare from the Southern Initiative told our education correspondent, John Gerritsen, the Covid-19 lockdowns have highlighted the importance of the internet.
