Carmel Sepuloni on Criticisms of the Welfare System: Friday the 24th of April

Last week producer Louis Laws reached out to three organisations; all advocating for changes to be implemented in our current welfare system.

He spoke with Brooke Fiafia from Auckland Action Against Poverty, Justin Latiff from The Child Poverty Action Group, & Andrea Black policy director at the Council of Trade Unions.

They were all critical of the increase to benefit levels, the wage subsidy, & the status of relationships in our current system, all calling for more work to be done. 

Louis got in touch with Carmel Sepuloni, the Minister for Social Development in Aotearoa, to hear her response to these criticisms.
