How many people who use a food bank really need to do so and does anyone in Government actually investigate those who use it?

Are we really like Africa with starvation of the masses?

Surely if we have thousands of people in New Zealand suffering starvation, that could be of some interest to a Labour Government and could separate the needy from the greedy, or is that just too difficult?

Many organisations and individuals are involved to help the needy, but not the greedy, who just might join the line-up instead of going to a supermarket.

Are some organisations creating a career and a need for a food bank without finding out if people are really in need?
