Today I announced Labours Social Development Policy, including an initiative to make it easier for people on benefits to get into work. We will lift the threshold for how much a person can earn before their benefit is affected to $150 per week. The threshold is currently $80 or $100 depending which benefit you are on. This policy will help people get a foot in the door with part-time work on their way to full-time employment.
