Variety - the Children's Charity - CEO Wayne Howett says that organisations who care about child poverty should collaborate, rather than fighting for the cause alone. 

Howett told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "1 in 7 Kiwi kids that are living without the basics food, warmth, transport, school costs, and healthcare, and we're not making any margins on that."

"And, when you look at what's happening in the Treasury's own child poverty forecasting it shows no movement towards hitting the 2028 goal of halving child poverty."
