59064 (2025). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister for Child Poverty Reduction

59064 (2025). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister for Child Poverty Reduction: Does the Minister expect that the Government will meet its child poverty reduction targets for 2026/27; if not, why not?

Hon Louise Upston: This Government remains committed to all its targets. Material hardship is the measure I am most focused on, which is why in 2024 I established a portfolio target based on the Child Poverty Reduction Act’s (the Act) material hardship measure.
