Welfare Cuts w/ Brooke Stanley Pao of AAAP: August 26th, 2022

The Labour Party was one of many to criticise the National Parties policy announcements of minimising welfare for youth and focusing on pushing them into work. 

However, the Auckland Action Against Poverty group has called out the government for their own actions of sanctioning those on the benefit.

They claim Labour has cut benefits of around 4000 people who aren't well, are injured or living with a disability in the last 5 years.

To learn more, Liam spoke to Brooke Stanley Pao from the organisation about their frustrations.
