He worked as a social worker for over 25 years. Two of his four children also became social workers. One was a bit of a black sheep and became a tax lawyer! But I know for a fact that the training incentive allowance not only benefited the children of solo parents but, in the case of my father, my sister, and my brother, in the 60 collective years that they have worked as social workers, it benefited the thousands of children that they cared for through Oranga Tamariki. This Budget reinstates the training incentive allowance. This is a ladder to help people get ahead that was cruelly scaled back by the previous National Government. We are investing $127 million so that 16,000 people, like my dad Selani, can retrain and gain high skills to the benefit of their children and other children.
