john --



Today I announced National's commitment to the social investment approach and outlined the framework we would use to bring this approach to life in the next Government.?



With kids ram-raiding shopping malls, thousands of families living in motel rooms and cars, and soaring truancy rates, there has never been a more important time to think differently about the way government delivers results.



You can read my guest lecture to the Victoria University School of Government, titled 'Doing good, better: A new approach for New Zealanders in the greatest need' below:?

The basic idea underpinning social investment is that if Government intervenes earlier and more effectively for our most disadvantaged citizens then their lives could be so much better.?



Ultimately, social investment is simply Government done well. It is doing good better and most specifically doing better by those who need us most.



Social investment will be a driving project for the next National Government, and I hope you will join me in bringing it to life.















Nicola.
