Ellen Dixon: Union of Students' Associations Pres says students are forced into more work, turning to food banks as rents rise

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays

Student associations say students are being forced into more work and turning to food banks,  as rents rise. The student loan for living costs and student allowance rose by $20 from April 1. It follows a $25 weekly increase in Budget 2022. Union of Students' Associations President Ellen Dixon says there are landlords and property managers that monitor those financial changes. She says there's a difference between mum and dad landlords and those in property management companies who follow those trends. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
