- Demand for KidsCan support is at a six-year high as the cost-of-living bites hard into households.
A KidsCan survey released this morning has revealed 65% of schools say poverty is worsening in their communities, with 47 schools reporting students who had taken on part-time jobs or left school altogether to work.
Breakfast spoke with Porirua College’s deputy principal John Topp, said some of his students turn up to school without uniforms, lunch, or devices.

Feeding your kids should be the thing that comes before anything else. Most of these parents are just financially irresponsible.
most of these parents have no money left after $600 rent and then $400/month power in their cold unhealthy homes
@@nikkster01 True, and meth aint cheap..
@@AdventuraNZthat's sort of a generalisation of the poor families, in families with gang links and ties, yes could they afford to buy meth, but the majority have to pay monthly bills, and rent, which leaves little to no money for food for the kids.
Cost of living in NZ hitting hard and really high for low and medium income people.
I hope the school lunches continue. Well said by the principal.
Jacinda did it... Failed on every single one of her promises
Mutdern destroyed nz 😡
That’s right. She raved on about how she was going to fix child poverty and like all Ardern’s raves it was a word salad full of lies and smokescreens.
@@Theresaisabiologicalwoman She certainly was an exemplar in forcing her global-evilitist masters' society-destroying, cultural marxist agenda, riding over the people's guaranteed basic human rights in the name of 'the greater good/kindness' , to divide families and conquer with propaganda and legislation (that has not, and never will be, revoked) ...
That was her job and intent. Her puppet master rewarded her well with her bs Damehood which she doesnt deserve one bit based on the fact shes left us in one hell of a mess . Wish mainstream would stop their love fest of her and start showing these facts. Instead of focusing on parents who are struggling to put food on the table. Focus on whats caused this issue. I mean $15 for a pumpkin?
@@-Free.Spirit-100% it’s all an illusion. They don’t control anything it’s the secret societies in the shadows calling the shots. Humanity is in deep shit right now we will win we just need to continue with love and ignore their fear
School lunches help so many kids. The numbers are going to get worse if you take away the lunches .
I wonder if this has anything to do with the price of cigarettes there needs to be an investigation into how many of these kids that cannot afford lunch the parent's smoke?
Hiking the price of cigarettes is just another failed government policy.
They always got money for smokes and meth 😂
what kind of parent doesnt feed tgeir kids? its about time the media did a few articles on personal responsibility
@@PondScummer rubbish! rice, potatoes and cheap vegetables are within everyones reach. Stop being so pathetic.
@@PondScummer It's amazing that the lefts solution is to rebrand every problem s a "crisis". This never solves any of the issues
@@PondScummeror just have 2 kids instead of 5
@@PondScummer *can’t afford to feed kids because of cost of living crisis 👉🏼 somehow able to buy overpriced smokes*
Or who's getting a free ride and it's effect on production.
Why the MACHINERY is leaving.
People just need stop breeding popping out kids when they cant aford to. Some one needs ask hard questions as to why familys are still having kids when they dont have jobs etc and rely on handouts to feed there off spring
And what is your solution to this? Yes it is a problem that kids are going to school without lunch and the Healthy School Lunches Programme is desperately needed for that very reason. Don't penalize our tamariki for the faults of their parents, we need our next generation to grow up healthy, strong and educated. Now programmes like this are on the chopping block because Act deems it to be "wasteful" to feed our children. Shameful.
@@emoemo247
Many women deliberately have kids so they can get government pay. Remove the incentive and you get less of the behavior. Reward bad behavior and you get more of it.
If the parents can't feed the kid then we remove the kid from those parents. We have set up a system where bad people can use kids to fund their bad habits.
@@emoemo247the solution is for people to stop abusing the welfare system for their personal gain, and to look after their kids. What are Iwi doing across the country to help look after their community?
@@alexpj4569 How does abusing the welfare system (something that in the grand scheme of things barely costs the country anything by the way, for example tax evasion costs magnitudes more) have anything to do with what we're talking about?
It's not exactly easy for families and communities at the moment if you hadn't noticed we're living in a cost of living crisis and this governments solution is hyper-inflationary tax cuts for landlords and millionaires, paid for by cuts to public services that are desperately needed by the communities you are talking about.
If schools teach life skills and not dumb unnecessary things but all ant dumb in respect we all can live off the land like gardening hunting and gardening we can do it for 100 years but the government wants taxes in now days we can get free power free vegetables why dont the kids learn that in schools
If you cannot afford to feed your children don't have them. The fact he keeps mixing languages
shows the ethnicity of those neglected by
parents and lack of both the English and tribal language.
That can't be right because labour promised to reduce and Jacinda told us 7/9 of the categories they made up were better
Tell that to the coalition government who wants to get rid of the lunches/breakfasts or free fruit from schools . Stop going back to jacinda when you won't even acknowledge proposals brought to the table within the last 6 months
This guy is scared to say the truth, n it's a lack of strength from a guy in leadership.
"What support do you need?"
Parents to feed their kids and do their responsibility of getting them ready for school.
Instead, it's "teachers need more training to deal with these families" and "we need more money so we can buy food and uniforms and sports equipment to give to these kids whose parents have dropped the ball".
It's not the govt or tax payers job to provide for kids, it's the parents', and this guy should have called it out like the principal from the other school did in the fb post last week.
Hopefully more schools start putting responsibility back on families to do basic parenting so teachers can worry about teaching.
Well Done deputy principal!
Keep showing kindness and care.
Those students will never forget you.
My school visited Titahi Middle School last year on a cultural exchange program. We had fun.
Love and prayers from Fiji
School lunches are being taken home by staff or thrown in the rubbish.
He said kids learn better . The new minister of Education disagrees with this.
Isn’t it a great idea having expensive houses. High mortgages and rent. There was a time in most nz towns and even areas of cities where you could buy a house for under $400k and weekly rent under $300 per week. Since the 2008 GFC . Things have gone stupid and the nz central bank has taken its OCR from 8.25% in 2008 to 0.25% in 2020 & 2021 . Utterly stupid. The icing on the cake of stupidity was the central bank taking its OCR from 2.5% (historic low) in 2016 to 1% in 2019. BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, then dropping LVRs in 2020, dropping LVRs in march of 2020 enabled every property investor in nz to double their housing portfolio. And a lot did. You wander why people aren’t doing so well. Blame the central bank and their Addiction to helping property investors. Prices need to collapse . It makes no sense having expensive housing. Half the countrys people rent and most people buy and sell on the same market. Investors are probably only 20% of the population. Most people would benefit from lower housing prices and therefore rent. Everyone would have more to spend and make a better economy
The nature of apartment development is different from building a house.
In Australia overseas investors are allowed to invest, as long as it is only "new builds", this provides a constant stream of housing into the secondary market.
Whenever foreign investment particularly if "China" is mentioned, Kiwi's loose their minds. There are many issues with housing , it's time to admit that one of the problems is the xenophobic, sometime racist attitudes that exist in NZ.
Some Kiwi's thought that the government could just build all these homes with "kiwibuild". Considering the 'success' of that program, It's time to admit, that is not the solution.
Investors are not the problem, foreigners are not the problem, China is not the problem. The problem is the only large developer in NZ is Fletcher. The market is closed to the development companies who would build thousands of apartments.
5:26 No, the main problem regarding poverty is the debt based fiat money system the world operates under it simply facilitates growing poverty as more debt is created than the amount of money that exists. People are simply unaware of how the money debt relationship works, let alone aware of the resulting effects as they blame other factors.
@@TinekaJasonPalmer Well, there are 2 parts there. 1) Fiat inflation moves wealth from those who hold the fiat to those with the hard assets.
2) If NZ builds less houses we have less hard assets as a country.
Agree! My first job in 1980 salary $10,000. Cost of first 3 bedroom house in Johnsonville was $32,000 ! Happy days! Neoliberalism. No control over property speculators plus mass immigration has ruined that happy country.
@@redpink9773 everyone blames supply problems for high housing prices. Thats part of it but you could say there was a supply shortage going into the GFC to. And there was . But still house prices dropped and went flat for many years after the gfc even tho the rbnz dropped its OCR by a whopping 6.5%. Demand created. Everyone including media and economists and government are fixated on news only about investors or fhbers / new housing and auction data. There’s basically 3 parts to house sales and most of it occurs in secondhand sales and can ajust prices easy with demand differences because only about 3% of homes are for sale at any given time. There’s basically FHBers, investors and everyone inbetween which is people just changing houses, mostly upgrading because of capital gains. And making no difference at all to supply just swooping from one to another. This area of the housing market is massive. In a downturn like after the gfc and capital gains are lost is why housing prices and sale crash and can go flat for 5 or so years because these people simply stop and stay put and generally renovate existing houses. Of course high immigration can affect prices too. Nz has a massive problem. Prices are simply to expensive for most people. Nz is about to go through a very bad period. Building will slow, unemployment will probably climb to over 5%. Immigration will drop off massively. The OCR will probably drop but not down anywhere near where people are hoping ( unless theres another pandemic or global recession) the secondhand market will crash. Which makes no difference to new housing sales. Small towns won’t benefit from big city people moving in. So small towns will get hit badly with extremely low sales . Its already started but since about 6 months before the election many put off selling or dropping prices because they were hopeful national would change everything. But this is bigger than any government. Could a government or central bank keep house prices increasing past the GFC . No. And they crashed interest rates. Lucky it was so high to begin with. Or things would of been a lot worse. The good thing is i think throughout nz a lot cheaper housing will return
So what is ACT,National and NZ First have say? What new steps are they taking?
When even voluntary repatriation is considered wrong, kinda have both arms tied behind their back.
The government just want to give schools sweet fanny adams nothing
Is was apart of ACT policy to remove school lunches
not good for nz... incredible.
Welcome to the world that many kids have lived for centuries around the world,kids been starving to death in Ethiopia for decades.
Time to abolish the Domestic Purposes Benefit in order to change generational cycle of dependantcy (fraud), Parents will always put their needs first before children's
Name 5 different domestic Benifit situations that people legitimately find them selfs in? Let's make it slightly interesting "they've worked and payed taxs there whole life". I can sum up atless 10, if you can't name 5 then you've most likely been feed by the silver inheritance spoon.
@@PondScummer I suppose the sad fact is... If you haven't witnessed it or some how been made aware of some peoples situations, then you just don't know right. I mean, as you said.. livible, to me.. living is being happy which requires being active and self sufficient whilst getting social benifits which really.. only work can provide, a sense of worth and being proud of being a part of society. I never take for granted the fortunate decisions I made when I was younger, Prodominantly Maori parents made it very clear to me at a young age that I have nothing to support me "Inheritance wise" or any such other financial means. They also made it clear that society won't accept me if I didn't start building a stable career, which refers to the gentlemans or mams statement above. 🫤
If you want to sort the issue, NZ need to stop breading for all wrong reasons. This isn't ok. Show how little some people in this cares for children. How to have children without a partner? Who should loom after them? People needs to pay child support, if they don't use condoms keans they afford to pay. ITS TIME TO SEE RESPONSIBLE HUMAN BEINGS AS PARENTS. Situation in NZ is complex but parents are playing a big role. Many choose tattoos instead of feeding children, choose alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, doing nothing instead of feeding their children. This isn't right and is not the way to carry on this way in this country. And always gets worse under labor unfortunately as we enforce wrong behavior and attitude. We should have children if we can offer them a loving, caring environment to strive, not use them for selfish, self centered reasons. And unfortunately is whats happening in NZ for decades now.
And let's not forget who was in government for the past 6 years.
Exactly, who was it that implemented the healthy school lunches programme? And then expanded the programme again in 2020 so that it extended reach to even more students around the country. Seems like one party actually cares about our tamariki while the other is more focused on how to get them hooked on ciggies.
Labour enacted Kids can thank you very much.
@@Kult365 Exactly, and healthy school lunches programme. Very plain to see where each parties priorities are.
the same people that made it necessary to have such a program. @@emoemo247 You don't get credit for cleaning up a tiny part of a massive mess you made...especially after everyone warned them.
The government isn't pushing ciggies at all. It's not the governments place to tell adults what to do even if what you choose to do is harmful to yourself. Remember the government is just people, not omniscient Gods. The best thing they can do most of the time is to do nothing.
If you think Nationals going to do any better you need to get in touch with reality
New Zealand is going down hill we going to be a 3rd world country so sad food gas power and everything else is going up but pay rates stay the same how can our government help other countries but not help new Zealanders
which country new Zealand support?
@Dance4lifeBR The war in Iraq,the war in Israel,theres a war in NZ we need to fight and that's child poverty,dont worry about kids in other countries its the kids in this country that matters FFS!!!!!
It really unbelievable that a country that produces food cannot feed their own children. It years and years of bad goverance.
Meanwhile, the coalition Clowncar are getting rid of KidsCan
Didn't you see the news. Jacinda resigned. The leftie clowncar ran right off the road
@@redpink9773 so, you're good with the govt. stopping food for hungry NZ kids?
@@Kult365 Oh so strawman argument. So you're good with lying are you? 🤣🤣🤣
Labour spent all the money on ppe and the jab. Sorry kids. No food for you.
This has been going on for decades in NZ.
Stop funding unrwa
Kai Ora,
Staff training in self-awareness as well as the continued collaboration with kids can and organisations of similarities, would be a great solution. The self-awareness workshops would arm teachers with some much needed tools to identify enemies. Not enemies as in people, enemies as in energy. Like burnout prevention. Those teachers are very important as they are navigating our future leaders. If we look after our teachers, we are investing in great possibilities for our future. I’m not a teacher but I do value their mahi…
December 20,2023. Mini budget! The minister of finance could talked about this issue. The minister of education was quick take steps in other matters but not this one.
First ,people will naturally try and get food free ,plead poverty while taking home couple of dozen beer with food money saved and if you thought labour was bad just wait and see how national stuff things up
The labour party effect
Money is a failing system. Smh
Parenting is a failing system
There's alot of meth in porirua mum an dad always fill the pipe though 😅
This comment section makes me sad. 😢
not for long you can celebrate a $5 tax cut on July I , of course the Nater renter owners will put up the weekly haul by $20 so you will only be $15 worse off win win really
The credit Money Is finish..
this has been the trend 4 the last 30 yrs....no 1 gives a shit.....DUH
Ka pai John ❤
Well, lets just add that to the amounting list. Our mate luxons probly pulling his hair out 😅. Pun intended 😢😂
Oh look the guy that still thinks Jacinda was great. Hows its going mate 🤣
@@redpink9773 oh wow look who it is, it's Reppink lol. Who said she was great? I merely said she done as good as a priminister could do giving a 1st in history pandemic. Check yah facts before you step to this legend my boy.
@@MediVacPack Lol "facts". My Bad - you're the guy that claimed in December 2023 "National wouldn't make it to the New Year". Well done 🤣🤣 great prediction. That was a legendary prediction. You are the legend
@@MediVacPack And your NEW prediction is National won't make it to new year 2025 right? Truly genius predictions. I predict you will be "right" again "Facts" 😂
Maybe he was talking about those that could afford to .I don't think he would be encouraging unemployed with no accommodation or means of taking care of kids to breed. Do you? That sounds like the Greens and the entitled
