This Government has the aspiration that New Zealand is the best place in the world to be a child. It is everybody's dream, I guess—or wish—that every child in New Zealand has a safe, secure, loving whānau, and preferably their own family; however, that's not always the case. For whatever reason, there are a number of children who, sadly, cannot be looked after by their own family and therefore have to be looked after by other caregivers. Across New Zealand, there are about 15,000 caregivers who have stepped up on a day-to-day basis to look after some 24,000 New Zealand children who are not able to be cared for by their parents.
