  1. I can see many obvious benefits in decentralising WINZ call centre and case management functions to local community groups, at the same level of funding. So why do we still need WINZ offices at all?

    Because if we didn't have them, the benefit system would go the same way as the mental health system. It's much easier to get away with de-funding those community groups by 1000 cuts while expecting the same outputs, than to do it to WINZ.

  6. CW: NZPol Benefits

    "And here’s the kicker: that stat Upston loves to throw around, the one about the average beneficiary being on a benefit for 18 years, isn’t what she makes it sound like.
    It’s a modelling estimate from MSD that projects how long people might receive a main benefit over their lifetime,
    ...
    But Upston’s been selling it like every young person who signs up for Jobseeker is settling in for two decades of couch time."

  11. #Trump keeps saying the #GOP mega bill will #eliminate #taxes on #SocialSecurity. It does not. And the #SocialSecurityAdministration tonight sent an email to all individuals who registered on the agency's site stating this - which is a #LIE "The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security #beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful, immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy."
