I want to give a shout-out as well to all the people on the benefit who spoke out against this policy over the course of many years. In my time at Auckland Action Against Poverty before entering Parliament, I worked alongside people on the benefit to submit to the Welfare Expert Advisory Group's public meetings, and we heard very clearly from people on the benefit that these work-test obligations were not working. People on the benefit have been generous in sharing with us their lived experience about our broken welfare system and calling for changes themselves, and it's overdue that we are discussing these changes just now. I'm excited to be on the Social Services and Community Committee with my colleagues on this side of the House, who I know will be listening with care and duty to the submitters in the weeks to come.
