Who pays if you don't?

30 Mar 2000
Child Poverty Action Group takes strong exception to the recent attempts by the IRD at social marketing. In September, October and November 1998, the IRD ran a controversial TV advertisement depicting a boy who apparently missed out on soccer because of the non-payment by his father of child support. We are particularly concerned that factual accuracy has been ignored, and children have been used inappropriately. This backgrounder is a follow up to the complaints made by CPAG in 1998, which were never resolved satisfactorily.
