Christopher Luxon: Prime Minister on FamilyBoost failure, the Pope's funeral and Anzac Day - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says incomplete or wrong information from the IRD is to blame for shortfalls in the Government's FamilyBoost scheme. 

The tax rebate of up to $75 per week was initially touted as a $249-million-a-year handout to help with covering childcare costs. 

Only 1.2% of eligible families received a full subsidy. 

Christopher Luxon talks to Luxon about the shortfall, his experience at the Pope's funeral and time commemorating Anzac Day.
