The Government's 2022 budget was released last week and we have some thoughts!
In this episode, we chat to Salvation Army social policy analyst Paul Barber about what The Salvation Army sees as the good points in this "secure future" Budget and what areas we found disappointing in terms of the level of immediate support provided to families struggling the most with the high cost of living and housing costs.
ABOUT PAUL :
Paul has worked in the non-profit and social services sector for over 25 years, working on social policy issues with a focus on social justice and social transformation. Before joining SPPU in August 2019, he spent 15 years as a policy advisor with the NZ Council of Christian Social Services. His background is theological study with a focus on social ethics after earlier studying commerce and accountancy.
