There's no simple answer. My daughter doesn't like it when kids who do have things, make fun of those who don't.

Make it New Zealand's number one priority, because that is the future.

I think child poverty in New Zealand is criminal and obscene, it shouldn't be allowed.

They need to get rid of gambling machines. There's no excuse for kids to be underfed and people on the benefit shouldn't just be given money, but things like food tokens.

I think just more awareness, really, whether that's through public service announcements. I guess the more people that's aware there is a problem is the first step really.
