My question is to the Minister for Social Services. I refer to reports today proving the Minister for Social Services fabricated details about New Zealand's welfare system to justify his cruel cuts to young jobseekers. Does the minister stand by his remarks that

In New Zealand everybody who is seeking to get welfare payments, the dole equivalent, has a one-month waiting period.

Or did he just make it up?
