flag New Zealand’s government faces backlash for enforcing homeless removals without offering housing, with critics calling it ineffective and harmful.

flag New Zealand's Labour and Green parties have condemned the government's 'move on' orders, which allow authorities to force homeless people to leave public spaces, calling the policy punitive and ineffective. flag They argue it fails to address root causes like housing shortages and mental health issues, instead displacing vulnerable individuals without providing support. flag Critics say the approach worsens homelessness, undermines social services, and risks criminalizing poverty, with one Green leader noting incarceration costs exceed $200,000 per person annually. flag Both parties urge a shift toward evidence-based solutions focused on housing and support.
