2613 (2024). Hon Carmel Sepuloni to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: What advice, if any, has the minister and their office received on rewarding those who break their dependence on benefits, and applying sanctions to those who, without good reason, refuse to engage?

Hon Louise Upston: In my capacity as Minister for Social Development and Employment, I regularly request and receive advice on a range of topics. In the interest of transparency, a list of reports received by my office from the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) is regularly published on MSD's website. The lists of titles are available here: www.msd.govt.nz/about-msd-and-our-work/publications-resources/information-releases/reports-to-minister/index.html.
