The Green Party believes in having a welfare system that provides unconditional support, a welfare system that does not carry these punitive sanctions and obligations, and a welfare system that allows people to live with dignity. This piece of legislation is a small step in the right direction, but we're very clear that we want to see not only all the Welfare Expert Advisory Group recommendations implemented as soon as possible but a guaranteed minimum income that ensures that caregivers are able to find work on their own terms and that we value the work that they provide for our society. I look forward to future sittings of this bill and our select committee process, and I hope to hear from people with the lived experiences, instead of a neo-liberal narrative that is not grounded in evidence. Kia ora.
