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.
