Episode 3 - Susan St John
from Head2Head Hosted by Bryan Bruce
New Zealand has an estimated 150,000 children living households with incomes below the poverty line (think the entire combined populations of Nelson, New Plymouth and Invercargill) with 64,000 of those children living in extreme hardship. In this episode of Head2Head Susan unravels for me some of the complexities of the Working For Families benefit and reveals the wired in unfairness that discriminates against children living in our poorest homes.
