As someone with contacts at WINZ I can assure you that there is no longer ANY focus on getting people into work quickly. Clients aren't even a focus until they have been on job seeker support for 12 plus months. They are no longer required to actively seek work and have no consequences for failing drug tests, failing to attend courses or interviews or see their case manager.
Anything to actively engage with and in this case reward those on long term support is a good thing. BTW the sanctions he is talking about are already part of the law - Labour under Sepiloni have simply chosen to ignore what is already legislated
