Abstract	The purpose of this paper is to respond to Jonathan Boston's article, which outlined the findings of the Expert Advisory Group (2012), in which he singled out one policy change, the 1991 budget cuts to benefit levels, as being the major cause of one-quarter of New Zealand's children now living below the poverty line. In her response, Liz Gordon argues that the work of the Expert Advisory Group has, after many years of child poverty, given some purchase to those arguing for policy change. It is not really enough however--only the Greens, the third party in parliament, are so far advocating significantly new policy settings. Gordon suggests that perhaps policymakers need to start with a ride on the 486 bus, to view what New Zealand's society has become, before making decisions that will effect what lies ahead for New Zealand's children living in poverty.
