"New" policy from Luxon, National

[Wainuiguy]

IF the Nats had said we're going to set up free courses for young people on unemployment to help them have a better chance of getting a job, I doubt anyone would have a problem with that.
Instead they go for the tired old ' the lazy unemployed kids don't want to work & we're going to punish them' tactic which must be wearing pretty thing even with their supporters, given the number of times they've used it.

Those will remain available too - they arent getting rid of them.  You cant just have carrots or just sticks- their combination of both is a measured approach.
