A pregnant, homeless woman says she does not choose to live on Auckland's streets, and does not think Sir Bob Jones' idea of outlawing begging will stop people asking for money.
Speaking to NZ Herald Focus on Queen St, she said homelessness and begging wasn't a "bad life", but a "normal life".
She said, despite being 12 weeks pregnant and having "heaps of family" in Auckland she would remain on the streets.
When asked if she wanted a job, she replied: "Yes, of course. All of us do."
