新西兰政府因在不提供住房的情况下强制清除无家可归者而面临强烈的反弹, 批评者则称其无效和有害。 New Zealand’s government faces backlash for enforcing homeless removals without offering housing, with critics calling it ineffective and harmful.

新西兰工党和绿党谴责政府的“行动”命令, 允许当局强迫无家可归者离开公共空间, New Zealand's Labour and Green parties have condemned the government's 'move on' orders, which allow authorities to force homeless people to leave public spaces, calling the policy punitive and ineffective. 他们认为,它未能解决住房短缺和心理健康问题等根本原因,而是使弱势个人流离失所,而不提供支助。 They argue it fails to address root causes like housing shortages and mental health issues, instead displacing vulnerable individuals without providing support. 批评者说,这一办法加剧了无家可归现象,破坏了社会服务,并有可能将贫穷定为犯罪,一位绿色领袖指出,每人每年的监禁费用超过200,000美元。 Critics say the approach worsens homelessness, undermines social services, and risks criminalizing poverty, with one Green leader noting incarceration costs exceed $200,000 per person annually. 双方敦促向注重住房和支助的循证解决方案转变。 Both parties urge a shift toward evidence-based solutions focused on housing and support.
