I made my comment yesterday and was taken off because the truth hurts...Everything I said its bloody true just like you said...DONT bloody have kids if u cant provide the basic needs..I saw it all because of the type of job I did in the past...I worked 45 years in this country and retired. I never took any short cuts like some do, just keep breeding and go on the benefit ... Easy money, dont have to work. I never ever been on the dole or any benefit. I Came to this country with nothing n took labor jobs til I landed in a good job. I worked for every glory I have to get to where Im today.. All good things comes to those who truly worked for it.. Not a plain Jane journey but the end result were rewarding...And here we are today made responsible for these arseholes failure... Sorry about the language but Im very angry because these people made some selfish choices at our cost....and the kids suffered..

Keep up the good work Karen we know you are trying to help these children unfortunately some children are too damaged to save. The blame lies with the parents and not with poverty. There are lots of poor people past and present who are doing a good job with little.
You and Karen could be mates, both got no clue what you're talking about and anybody that does know what they're talking about, strongly disagrees with you 😂

@@Freeeedumb free dumb you need to wake up to the child abuse and total lack personal responsibility that 1 certain race is guilty of. I bought up 5 children youngest being 24 now.

@@Freeeedumb I have several family members in the Maori health sector and they tell me how Maori parents put dope in their babies' bottles to kept them from making a noise... and 5 year old children going to school spaced out on drugs..others bashed and mistreated badly.

Great speech and great answers Karen can they be quite when questioned being answers this is in Parliament not in kindergarten kindergarten grow up be adults
Will the labour, green previous government take responsibility for financially and emotionally destroying the New Zealand way of life. All government spending is a tax on the few people still working.
The government has been criticised for not wanting to allocate $3bn in funding to alleviate child poverty. Labour's spokesperson for social development Carmel Sepuloni has said; "New Zealand’s suspicions were raised when the Government failed to show any real interest in solving the issue of child poverty, and had zero plans to achieve the targets" Can Carmel Sepuloni tell us why Labour did not allocate adequate funding in their six years in office? The tax take went from $70bn in 2017 to $125bn in 2023, why did they not use some of these extra funds to put towards child poverty? Labour also could have allocated funds from the $139bn spent in 2023. It is a bit rich for Labour to criticise when they had ample opportunity to correct the issue.
The opposition just wa3nt to carry on using issues like this for political points scoring, which is disgusting the last government had all their pet providers and now they are getting upset that their trough is not getting refilled if something is broken then fix it instead of throwing good money after bad like the last government did
Child Poverty. Jacinda Ardern gave herself the Child Poverty portfolio to show how serious Labour took the issue. But they only made things worse. Six out of nine child poverty indicators deteriorated under Jacinda Ardern’s leadership. And the most important metric, material hardship, got much worse. Another embarrassing failure from Labour.
Relationships and systems band aid solutions with band aid support staff had no experience and pragmatism which is tikanga in its application deteriorated massively sadly labour and Greens know this to be true that's why all the good ppl mps members communities who once stood by and for the values of this party left Greens have contributed to that to the party have not recovered since last election its more bitterly disappointing and shocking all the delusion from that side of the house.
Good job Karen, also opposition needs to face the fact that more drugs are being circulated adding to crime, they can still work at that within their family and community. The youth can be helped BEFORE they become a statistic.
I doubt it, you think they care about the youth. No why because they come from a low decile area. The govt don't give a shit about them. The govt give a shit about people like you. They do cut backs that could help the youth, and then they do a song and dance. Like oh what a good am girl am l. So please unless you live in a low decile area, just think about it Because I do, and I do live in such area
These guys care about their voters.. Karen cut funding for 190 social work programs and reduced funding for 140 ..and replaced them with a bootcamp for 10 people. Sometimes actions speak louder than words
Under Labour, the number of children reliant on a benefit is at its highest point since Labour became government in 2017. The number - 211,617 - even surpasses the total at the end of 2020 after the chaos of Covid. The number is 26% higher than in March 2018, the end of labour’s first full quarter. Over 43,000 more children are now dependent on welfare. Was that the price former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was willing to pay in her naive pursuit of poverty reduction? It was a massive risk to keep increasing benefit rates and tax credits for children.
I find it hard to listen to the questions from TePatu Māori ,constantly with no evidence of what they are debating. Speaker , please control the shouting in the background . It is an embarrassment to know that this is seen by the entire world. Such a waste of taxpayers money.
It’s a pity those imbeciles shouting have nothing intelligent or helpful to offer and of course it’s apparent that their inability to deal with the issues have got us to this complete out of control shambles in the first place. Well done Karen the majority of law abiding people agree with you.
Just like any business,cut funding iff them responsible for wastage arent being held to account ,so be it.most taxpayers despise our hard earned tax money notbeing monitored sensibly.also i look at it as normal to only have children you are able to look after without leaning on the rest of society.
Not sure why act put this on their channel? It just highlights the problems their cuts are causing across the board.. as demonstrated by a social worker with 18 yrs experience
the years under labour were so much worse for children in Nz under OT's care. I say this as a retired child therapist who was there. Who did see. I find it disgusting how the tepatis and labour mps speak of our children in parliament. So negative.
I do not like this govt but I do agree with you on that, kids shouldn't be anywhere near this 'debate'. They've removed funding for 190 ssp's, and cut funding for 140.. and replaced them with nothing. How is that going to improve outcomes?
Can someone in the Labour Party please explain exactly what they did to reduce youth crime?
Well done, Karen. Your final statement was incredible. 100% correct.
As a former child therapist in NZ I full support Karen's respnse.,I hate the way the tepatis's and labour speak about our children herein parliament.
Stop having children if you can't support yourself let alone them. It's that simple.
100% close ya legs and keep it in your pants. They keep having kids so they can keep getting the benefit.
So are you suggesting a dictatorship for New Zealand??. If so,i hope you are not having children.Its that simple too .

Great work Karen
Why is it the left cannot keep quiet when someone is speaking.
It is truly astonishing to hear people blame a government who is cleaning up the mess be accused of causing the mess
Because they are emotional woke people, who find it hard to separate facts and logic, from their feelings.
The left cannot bear an emotional paradigm that is not under their persuasion.
Because they are downstairs servants who have turned feral.
It’s disgusting how the speaker does not pull them up for their rudeness shouting over someone talking.
Great speech and great answers Karen can they be quite when questioned being answers this is in Parliament not in kindergarten kindergarten grow up be adults
Neighbour, I’ve got nothing to say Karen. You took over a mess and you’re cleaning it up. Stand strong.
