National has announced its plans to push people off welfare into jobs that don't exist.

The solution to helping people off welfare is to create job and training opportunities. That is why the Green Party has developed a plan to create 100,000 green jobs through Government leadership and business incentives.

Instead of punishing vulnerable people who need support, we need real solutions that address unemployment and poverty. We are committed to ending child poverty in New Zealand and have a plan to bring 100,000 kids out of poverty in the next 3 years.

For real solutions for jobs and kids, party vote Green this election.

Metiria Turei and Russel Norman
