Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Social Development and Employment): I support our current approach to the use of sanctions, which is to work with a client to ensure they meet their obligations and adhere to the advice of medical professionals about what obligations a client has. Instead of primarily penalising our sick and disabled people, the Government is focused on supporting them into work, if they are able, and helping them achieve their aspirations, by doings things like rolling out our Disability Employment Action Plan and targeted employment support programmes, and we are seeing results. In the year to June 2022, 17,295 job seekers with health conditions or disability exited into work—almost double the number in the year to June 2017. Our approach is working and we stand by it.
