David Farrar writes in Kiwiblog that since Labour/NZ First/Greens took control of the government and country there are:
- 37,000 more people on welfare
- A 22% increase in those on a jobseeker benefit
- 16,000 more people who have been on a benefit for over a year
- A 30% increase in Maori and Pasifka jobseeker benefit levels
- 15,000 more children living in a benefit dependent household
It looks like going on the welfare rolls is the fastest growth industry in New Zealand. Doubtless the government sees this as a huge accomplishment.
