National's Welfare Plan w/ Dr. Shane Reti: August 8, 2022

Over the weekend the National party announced their latest policy plan to shift young people off of the jobseeker’s benefit.

The policy includes the provision of dedicated job coaches to beneficiaries, a thousand-dollar bonus for young jobseekers who enter into and stay in work for a full year, as well as potential sanctions for those who fail to follow their prescribed plan.

For Casper'[s weekly chat with National party MP Dr. Shane Reti, he asked him about the policy, how it proposes to help young beneficiaries and how exactly it might function.
