National doesn't care about rangatahi getting suitable, long-lasting jobs - or even getting into education and training.
They only care about jobseeker numbers going down.
And when that's the goal, nothing is more effective than inflicting austerity to our most marginalised communities.

At what point do we publicly accept that NZ is deeply corrupt and the only reason why we don’t have a culture of direct payoffs and bribery (that we cite as the evidence for us not being corrupt) is because it’s not needed? The boys club gets what it wants through people playing their social roles.

Big Tech is so unregulated. If any other industry was creating products so faulty and so destructive, various agencies would be under pressure to rain down hell. But not with social media or AI. Laws around under 16s regulate US not THEM. They need to be regulated. It’s insane behavior.
