27840 (2025). Hon Marama Davidson to the Minister for Child Poverty Reduction: What advice, if any, has she seen regarding the Social Assistance Legislation (Accommodation Supplement and Income-related Rent) Amendment Bill's impacts on the Government's ability to meet its child poverty reduction targets?

Hon Louise Upston: In my capacity as Minister for Child Poverty Reduction, I regularly request and receive advice on a range of topics. In the interest of transparency, a list of reports received by my office from the Ministry of Social Development is regularly published on the Ministry of Social Development website.
