Child Poverty Action Group dismayed by government inaction on poverty

From Morning Report, 7:50 am on 30 November 2020

The Child Poverty Action Group is dismayed the government is not moving fast enough to lift New Zealand families out of poverty.

It's been nearly two years since government-appointed experts called for an overhaul of the welfare system, but a new report shows the vast majority of advice has not been taken up.

Innes Asher is a Professor Emeritus at The University of Auckland and co-authored of the report.

She speaks to Corin Dann.
