Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says incomplete or wrong information from the IRD is to blame for shortfalls in the Government's FamilyBoost scheme. 

The tax rebate of up to $75 per week was initially touted as a $249-million-a-year handout to help with covering childcare costs. 

Only 1.2% of eligible families received a full subsidy. 

Christopher Luxon talks to Luxon about the shortfall, his experience at the Pope's funeral and time commemorating Anzac Day.
