Yet the Family Violence Death Review Committee (FVDRC) included the following statement in its submission:“Research shows that poverty and income inadequacy are key drivers of poor outcomes for children. Ms Bennett’s Green Paper ignores this with systemic issues like poverty barely rating a mention in the summary.
Low socioeconomic status (typically defined as family income below the poverty line, under-employment, and low education) is one of the major environmental conditions associated with child maltreatment. However, while the research shows an association between physical abuse, neglect and poverty, it is not a causal pathway. The majority of families living in poverty raise their children well.Amen to that.
Being lightweight isn't going to do Labour any favours.

Jacinda Ahearn is an airhead with no life experience. She has been closeted in the halls of politics since leaving school and has no idea what is going on in the real world. Her views are not worth commenting on.
But they are Allan. Her position in the Labour Party guarantees her an airing and influence. So the inadequacy of her views begs for comment.
What I mean Lindsay is that everytime Socialist Cindy opens her mouth her lack of life experience is shown up. Unfortunately she has been placed in a position that far exceeds her ability and her utterings from this position tend to be wrong in content and, as you say need to be challenged immediately.
