Move-on orders are being pitched as a way to “reclaim” town and city centres.

The Government is proposing a law which would allow Police to order someone rough sleeping or begging to leave a public space for up to 24 hours.

They could be fined up to $2000 or three months in jail if they don't.

Critics say that does nothing to create homes, risks criminalising poverty, and simply shifts people – and the problem – from one street or suburb to another.

Today on The Front Page, Community Housing Aotearoa Chief Executive Paul Gilberd joins us to talk about the real impact on people experiencing homelessness.
