Official analysis of the Governmentโ€™s welfare changes for 18- and 19-year-olds says the โ€œcosts will likely significantly outweigh benefitsโ€, with no overall gains in youth employment or in reducing long-term benefit dependency.

The income test for a beneficiaryโ€™s parents is also expected to hit hardest for young Mฤori and Pasifika, the disabled, and those in the rainbow community, and could potentially force abuse survivors to seek help from their abusers, according to a regulatory impact analysis (RIA) by the Ministry of Social Development (MSD).

โ€œThis policy may result in young people being expected to be financially dependent on their parents in situations where they have previously been subjected to physical, psychological, emotional or sexual violence,โ€ the RIA said.

Of course Louise Upston (and her embattled leader) will ignore this advice because their real aim is to create an underclass willing to accept appalling pay and working conditions while making their stats look better

Minister Shane Jones says 'green banshees' in regional council are stifling growth The Regional Development Minister says 'green banshees' are stifling growth, as the goverment shakes up local government.

Deeply tired of Shane Jones theatrics.

โ€œShane Jones says 'green banshees' in regional council are stifling growthโ€

Tearing down protections & experienced people NZ voted in months ago (ST act). Review duplication & unnecessary formality but stripping regional councils for #nzpol gain is just wrong

When you hear of males treating females with disrespect its time for EVERYONE to say something
If they use the media as a springboard for their views we can use the public space for our feedback

Ray Chung used his position to antagonize Tory
We have lost Tory but still have Ray
