Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she disagrees with some of the findings of a report that has found most of advice from the Welfare Expert Advisory Group (WEAG) has not been taken up.
The new report, from the Child Poverty Action Group, found out of the WEAG's 42 key recommendations none have been fully implemented, seven have been partially implemented, 12 have been minimally implemented and 23 have no evidence of implementation.
"There are elements of what the Child Poverty Action Group has said that that I just disagree with," she told Morning Report.
Ardern told Morning Report the government had done plenty to improve welfare and pointed to the general benefit increase of $25 a week, the winter energy payment and family tax credit increases as examples of what has been done.
The WEAG had suggested an increase of 47 percent, but Ardern said the government had said at the time it noted that was not something it could do.
