Auckland Action Against Poverty on Election Results

Left of centre parties have emerged strong after the election, with the Labour Party commanding an outright majority, the Māori Party returning to Parliament, and unexpected success for the Green Party. Pundits have commented this gives them an unprecedented mandate to make bold changes - changes the Greens and the Māori Party have been pushing for. However, Labour don't need a coalition partner, and have exercised caution in government and on the campaign trail.

Hanna spoke to AAAP Coordinator Brooke Stanley Pao about what changes are needed to alleviate poverty in Aotearoa, and the prospects for welfare reform under different coalition arrangements.
