    So remind us Rich. How much did Labour ever lower the 'poverty' numbers?
    Don't you find it odd they never made a peep about poverty while they
    were in power?

    That article (and presumably the Amnesty report it is commenting on)
    uses a meaningless phrase - there is no such thing as 'Child poverty'.
    There may be an issue with children being borne into a family where
    the parents cannot adequately fund their wellbeing.

    The point of the article is political in that they see this as a
    problem the government needs to solve - but the problem is parents who
    have children they cannot afford.

    When such a state is the same as the 'child poverty' in Ethiopia then we
    have a problem.

    Until then it is the left trying to be relevant and failing

    Dangerous ground Crash. Even China has given up the 1 child per family
    policy.

    The poor will always have more children on average as, ironic as it may
    seem, that is all they have. Children are insurance that they will be cared
    for in their old age.

    No we have a disaster. New Zealand is not a third world country.

    And we do not have the poverty of a third world country...
    It's just another election year

    Bullshit in New Zealand. Children are a sign of irresponsibility when
    your on low incomes! Along with an overbearing sense of entitlement.
