Homelessness in the CBD, unemployment figures, action plan for methamphetamine usage w/ the Green Party's Ricardo Menéndez March: 12 November, 2025
Description
During an interview with the ‘Morning Report’, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon confirmed that orders for the homeless in Auckland’s CBD to move on were “definitely a consideration”. He later stated, that “Aucklanders don’t feel safe going into the central city”, and both Central government and Auckland Council are considering how they can move homeless people out of the CBD ahead of summer.
This follows previous reports that the Government was considering a rough sleeping ban for central Auckland.
This news comes as Stats NZ released their annual unemployment figures this week. The results show that national unemployment has risen to a nine-year high at 5.3%, with the New Zealand youth taking most of the damage.
For our weekly catchup with The Green Party, Wednesday Wire Max spoke to MP Ricardo Menendez March, to discuss the new unemployment figures released last week. They also spoke about the Government’s new action plan to combat methamphetamine use.
But first, they discussed what The Green Party thought about the Government’s plan to decrease homelessness in the Auckland CBD
