My Final Word: Cheap School Lunches, Lost Jobs & Hungry Kids

This week, Martyn takes aim at the Government’s overhaul of the school lunches programme — cutting costs from $8 to $3 while slashing local jobs and reducing nutritional value.

When feeding prisoners costs $2.74 per meal and school kids get just cents more — is that investment in the future, or ideological penny-pinching?

Hungry children don’t learn.
Local economies don’t thrive on outsourced slop.
And public programmes shouldn’t wear Māori names while delivering policies that harm Māori communities.

If we believe in education, equity, and dignity — we feed our kids properly.

In solidarity, the revolution continues.
Ka pai.
