By November 2026, the government will enact austerity to our rangatahi - despite of an available option preferred by the Ministry of Social Development.

Another example of reckless, unsubstantiated policies that force kiwis to needlessly suffer. #nzpol

Bring in mutual obligation,each person on jobseeker file a weekly review of their service providers ...any bad reviews are investigated and whilst being investigated the service provider isn't paid by the government...recurring bad reviews = termination of govt contract with the provider and FINES

There's an indescribable level that's above "fucked"

when even MSD prefers non-austerity options to reduce young jobseeker numbers.

Extraordinary. They all need to live on jobseeker payments for a while.

(I'm assuming this US SNAP thing is often used like the Jobseeker payment here in Australia, helping make ends meet when people have no income. Not saying it's solely for that)

Albo is no friend of the poor or the sick .. weasel words abound... but cuts to NDIS, aged care, refusal to raise Jobseeker, and this sort of thing shows we have a fake Labor govt.

Let’s see if we can come up with more suggestions as to how the federal government can terrorise vulnerable people. We can afford billions for the buffoon’s never-to materialise submarines and billions as incentives for fossil fuel suppliers and refuse to tax the gas companies but jobseeker?

The @thesaturdaypaper.com.au going full hagiography on Don Farrell. No whisper of criticism.

Maybe Farrell HAS entrenched Labor in govt, but what's the POINT if they won't make necessary change happen?

#JobSeeker still at beggar rates.

He's helped turn Labor into the Liberals.

What a legacy.

HRT is accessible to me. For virtually the entire time I have been on it, I have been living on Australia's federal unemployment benefit, JobSeeker Payment, which is well below the national poverty line and is one of the lowest unemployment benefits in the OECD.
i am very exhausted by disinformation about the cost of transition healthcare. it costs less than $100 for 1-2 years of hormones, depending on your exact sourcing. presenting HRT as impossibly expensive and inaccessible to people who need HRT but don't know how is equivalent to medical gatekeeping.

I wonder how many more people would've found employment if they were just given $1.2b in unconditional support instead. Mutual Obligations and the reframing of unemployment support as "JobSeeker" are sickening

had a thought today that was just “maybe if I wait until after I’m 35 I won’t have to continue to jump through the jobseeker style hoops they seem to have for the DSP anyway so I guess I’ll just suffer through until then” which is probably not great. anyway,
