National's unveiled a new plan for social investment, dusting off an idea from Bill English, re-imagined by current leaders. This is designed to combat crime and inequality.  Deputy Nicola Willis announced the initiative to replace what she terms Labour's "disempowered" social wellbeing agency with a more focused model. She says the new agency will give more resources to the front lines and be more efficient - constantly evaluating the success of policies, and diverting funds where needed.
