Christine Rankin: Former WINZ boss agrees with Govt's jobseeker sanctions policy

A former Work and Income boss is applauding the Government's benefits policy, saying there's no future for someone on welfare.   From mid-2024 there will be a ramp up of check-ins for jobseekers and sanctions for those who don't meet their obligations, particularly for young people.  Former WINZ boss Christine Rankin told Mike Hosking that people rot on the benefit.  She says it's a responsible and courageous policy because for recipients of the main Jobseeker payment to be on it for 13 years is an absolute disgrace.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
