Coronavirus: Salvation Army concerned by growing 'underclass'

From Morning Report, 7:42 am on 24 April 2020

The Salvation Army is warning of a growing "underclass" of people out of work because of Covid-19.

In a report released this morning they catalogue how food parcel demand has gone up by 350 percent, and many people who have lost their incomes are unable to pay their rent or mortgage, and face losing their homes.

Ronji Tanielu is one of the report's authors.
