PM expects Seymour to give school lunches his 'full attention'

[C_T_Russell]

They should just go back to what Labour were supplying - lunches to only 30% of the kids - Jan Tineti wasn’t happy with the quality of the food her own government were supplying - so if labour couldn’t get the scheme to work for only 30% of the kids - feeding 100% plus pre schoolers was very ambitious.Can’t remember headlines when Labour never kept their promise to give every child a free lunch but it seems feeding 100% is now imperative ..Hipkins was very happy with their 30%

Labour never planned to deliver to 100% of schools, that would cost too much, they only ever intended to deliver them to the low decile schools where they targeted the demographics most in need.
ACT just have rolled out a more affordable option to the schools instead as it was still too costly what Labour had introduced.
Even then, it doesnt mean all the kids at these schools are in need of the lunches and some parents may still want to give their kids lunches.
I hope there is an opt-out option so that no lunches go to waste should parents give their kids food.
