The Finance Minister has acknowledged the Government's new cut-price regime for school lunches has issues - but indicated parents can also step up and contribute.
A number of schools throughout the country have complained about late deliveries and sub-standard offerings under the new system.
Nicola Willis says she expects the contractors to improve their service, but she's also reminding mums and dads that they can do their part.
"There's nothing to stop them from putting a Vegemite sandwich and a banana in their children's school bag. Actually, that's why we have a welfare system in this country - so that every family raising children has a minimum level of income needed to deliver their needs. I think we do need to get away from the idea that the Government does everything."

This weekend's Vegas venture couldn't have gone worse for the Warriors, as the NRL looks to launch an assault investigation into assistant coach Richard Agar.
According to new reports, Agar allegedly grabbed a British journalist by the throat - and also reportedly verbally abused him in the press box in Allegiant Stadium.
Coaching expert Wayne Goldsmith says it's expected this investigation will be followed on properly, rather than just falling back to the court of public opinion.
"I'm sure they're a very professional organisation and I'm sure that they're doing all of those things really well. And the important thing is to make sure this is played out correctly, properly and in time - it's easy to hang people in the court of public opinion."

Europe could be stepping up to the plate, but it's unclear if it will go the full mile in supporting Ukraine against Russia.
A 'coalition of the willing' has formed - alongside a fractious interaction between the US and Ukrainian presidents.
Centre for European Policy Analysis senior fellow, Edward Lucas, says a partial truce could be the first step.
But he warns protecting Ukraine further could prove tricky, especially if Russia attacks deployed European troops.
"If a drone hit British or French or German barracks and killed a few people, what do we do? Send a cross-press release - or do we fire back and hit something inside Russia?"
