Poverty in Aotearoa New Zealand: Where are we now?

Our systems - economic, housing, health, and short-term political thinking - have created poverty, and continue to lock too many in its grip. Should a developed nation continue to tolerate the harm inflicted on people’s lives? How can we redesign the country to eradicate poverty?

Rebecca Macfie is a leading investigative journalist, and the author of major books about Pike River Mine and Helen Kelly. During 2024, she was a fellow at the Stout Institute at Victoria University where she researched responses to poverty, and coordinated a seminar series and a major conference on poverty.
