1:25 Experiencing New Zealand's Welfare System
Earlier this week we spoke with Pinky Fang, about her difficulties accessing a disability benefit. It came off the back of Green Party co-leader, Metiria Turei, revealing she lied to receive more money when she was a solo mother on a benefit. We've had a lot of feedback from listeners about experiencing difficulty when accessing benefits. Chelsie Preston Crayford is a mum and an actor. Her daughter Olive was only five hours old before she had her first seizure. And it meant Chelsie and her partner couldn't work, while looking after their unwell newborn.
