PM's focus on family hardship:
Prime Minister John Key has announced a review of the ways the Government spends billions on vulnerable families and children ahead of the Budget in May.
"The Government is looking at ways to help families and children in material hardship," he said in his Prime Minister's statement which he tabled after Parliament resumed for the year at 2pm.
Action needed on family violence:
The high level of domestic violence is fast becoming the "new normal" as the government fails to take action, the Salvation Army says.
The organisation has released its eighth annual State of the Nation report on the social issues facing New Zealand, and has pinpointed family violence and housing availability as the main areas where the government should do more.
