WINZ Staff Win - Disabled
Lose
The Grey Power Board is appalled that WINZ staff have
spent $25,000 on staff videos while at the same time
introducing punitive conditions to Disability Allowances
says Violet McCowatt, Grey Power Social Services
spokesperson.
All this while Treasury recommended a social
spending squeeze. It would seem that as in the
Superannuitants cuts, the elderly continue to be targeted to
pay for the Government excess, Mrs McCowatt
says.
If you're using Scoop for work, your organisation needs to pay a small license fee with Scoop Pro. We think that's fair, because your organisation is benefiting from using our news resources. In return, we'll also give your team access to pro news tools and keep Scoop free for personal use, because public access to news is important!
