The Ministry of Social Development has released a 'Tactical Plan for Rough Sleepers' to brief regional managers.
The document refers to 'dispelling myths', claims it's a "narrative" that hundreds of New Zealanders live without shelter and that there is "no evidence" to validate that.
The report's author is not named, but while MSD is back-pedalling fast, this is an indication of the level of ignorance affecting officials under the Luxon government.
