Is feeding children the responsibility of the state?

This is one of those issues that is impossible to fix in the short-term, due to the nature of politics itself. Some drastic actions must be taken AGAINST a certain ethnic group of people who are causing the issue. However, if any political party were to attempt this, they would lose a lot votes (which the "other" political party would be happy to gobble up)... So no one is going to take this step since politics isn't about making your country a better place, its about winning.

Perhaps the only way for problems like these to be fixed is, very slowly and very gradually over a long period of time. Then the next question would be, which political party would have the foresight to attempt something as intelligent as this?

I think a good example that should be used is the anit drink driving campaign ("bloody idiot").

Both here and in Australia, over the last 15 years that advertising has helped shift the culture to be such that there is now a social stigma to drink driving, where as 20 years ago, you weren't a real man if you didn't drive home.

Just need those in the advertising game to think up a campaign that sticks and cuts through to the people who need to hear it.

One issue around that is NZ people are not as heavily involved in politics like other countries are. Apart from the 1m square billboards on peoples fences and breif TV adds, there arent any parties that take any innitiave. This is bad, because parties who come up with catchy slogans and promises are more easily voted for, without people actually realising what they mean. e.g, conservative party saying LESS TAX or some other bs.
