Three years ago, the Prime Minister said in this very debate that if National is to defend its record, we must defend record homelessness and child poverty. Well, three years on, the Prime Minister has not delivered; it's got worse. Homelessness and poverty are worse now. In October 2017, the Prime Minister said, "If you have hundreds of thousands of children living in homes without enough to survive, that's a blatant failure. What else could you describe it as?" Well, the numbers of households needing food grants more than doubled in the first two years of her Government, and it's just got worse since COVID—more than doubled before COVID.
