Show Notes

ACT leader David Seymour's controversial school lunch programme is getting a makeover going into it's second year of operation.

The changes include catering giant Compass Group no longer providing lunches to primary schools- but they will still provide meals for secondary schools and intermediates. 

Seymour told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "a subcontractor failed in term one of this year, there was a lot of publicity around that. We fixed it, with the help of Compass, and that's why they continue to supply the bulk of meals."

The $3 meal cap is also gone with costs now reaching up to $5 per meal.
