Submission to

To the Social Services Select Committee

Relating to the Child Support Amendment Bill (No 4)

Yet again the Child Support Act 1991 is back before this committee for consideration of amendments to the Act.

The Child Support Act 1991 is unique in its ability to fail paying and receiving parents and their children. The focus of the Act is collecting a one size fits all formula assessment, designed with the focus on benefit recovery and not the best interest of Kiwi Kids.

The Act is a fundamentally flawed piece of legislation that no amount of tinkering can fix. This amendment will create even greater injustice for paying and receiving parents and their children.

The time has come for the members of this select committee to show political courage and return this Bill to Parliament with the recommendation that it does not proceed and that a complete public review is undertaken of the current child support regime and its administration.

Therefore I ask that this committee recommend that this bill does not proceed and that a complete public review be undertaken of the child support law and administration.

I remind the committee members that the financial future of hundreds of thousand of children is in their hands. Members have the opportunity to make a real difference in the financial security of Kiwi Kids or you can remain locked in the failing and flawed officials advice .
