What happened
Te Taumata Hauora o Te Kahu o Taonui released a report detailing experiences of housing insecurity among whānau. The report criticized the Government’s move-on orders, which were enabled by the Summary Offences (Move-on Orders) Amendment Act 2026, as a failure of leadership. The Act allows Police to issue written orders requiring adults to leave public places.
