Excellent article highlighting an important issue. Thank you, @MaxRashbrooke and @TheSpinoffTV 🩵

Max presented a seminar in our Poverty, by Design series earlier this year and will speak at the corresponding conference in Nov, which will cover topics like this one. 🧵

[Max Rashbrooke @MaxRashbrooke]

The government claims to have “saved” the free school lunches scheme, but they may just (to borrow from the vernacular) be “enshittifying” them: degrading them to the point where they no longer work properly. https://t.co/6Z4Rya9jtB

[Stout Research Centre @SRCNZ]

Max quotes another Poverty, by Design presenter in his article. Porirua College principal Ragne Maxwell argues that free school lunches are “one of the most direct ways to tackle intergenerational poverty”.
