The Green Party wants to expand the free school lunches programme to cover more students, and ensure it continues beyond the end of next year.

The current programme provides free lunches to 230,000 school students, but funding has only been confirmed until the end of 2024.

Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson, says her party would expand ensure an additional 135,000 children are covered by the programme.
