We all know that the impacts of just financial and housing challenges have got extra and cumulative hardships that go into the health, education, and justice areas, and many more areas, of people's lives. So I wanted to take the opportunity today to again join with the community voices who have been very clear. For example, right here in Porirua, I think it was just last week, I welcomed Porirua mayor, Anita Baker, urging party leaders to use the election campaign to outline plans to address the persistent and growing scourge of poverty in New Zealand, especially as it affects children. I welcomed the voice of my local Manurewa High School principal, Pete Jones, bringing to light the situation of students having to leave school, especially following lockdown and COVID-19, to help parents to make sure that there is enough income to support their families. It's not just about parents losing their jobs, but it is about parents on low-wage incomes as well, and losing income and jobs.
