The leader of New Zealand's main opposition party is calling for a major overhaul of the country's anti-poverty policies after 40 years of doing the same thing.
"I think after 40 years of doing the same stuff, we've actually got to start to say is there not a different approach, is there not a different way of doing it?" Christopher Luxon tells Radio New Zealand.
"The real question we've got to start to ask ourselves is why aren't we able to get the shift and the transition we need to see to be able to lift people out of poverty so they're able to live a much more fulfilling, more prosperous life," he adds, per Stuff.co.nz. "I think we've got to try much harder at it," says Luxon, who is the leader of the National Party.
He says the party will focus on "social investment," which he describes as " bespoke and really targeted about what they actually need to be able to move forward." For example, he says, more support is needed for childcare and education.
