WINZ Staff Win - Disabled Lose
The Grey Power Board is appalled that WINZ staff have spent $25,000 on staff videos while at the same time introducing
punitive conditions to Disability Allowances says Violet McCowatt, Grey Power Social Services spokesperson.
All this while Treasury recommended a social spending squeeze. It would seem that as in the Superannuitants cuts, the
elderly continue to be targeted to pay for the Government excess, Mrs McCowatt says.
