Can you identify whatÂ’s in those school lunches?
Go see the pictures and see how many you can figure out.
Better still - bring your own lunch, as millions of us did.
And some still do, but perhaps we have a few more unable to afford
school lunches? https://union.org.nz/action-needed-now-as-child-poverty-grows/
By some reckoning yes. However it is a matter of cherry picking.

I think it is fair to say
"There has been no significant change in the percentage of children living in poverty and the government has missed all its child poverty targets, new figures show."
There has been a reduction since 2018.
"However it was a marked reduction from 2018 when measurements began, when 183,400 children (16.5 percent) were living in poverty."
So some of this can probably be credited to the previous Government. It also looks like the numbers have levelled off and results in the Government not achieving its own targets.
Note that the lower socio children score higher numbers of poverty.
