The new sanctions are:
👉🏼 Report Job Search: a requirement to undertake and report on a minimum of three job-search activities every week for four weeks. This sanction supports increased accountability for beneficiaries who are meant to be looking for work.
👉🏼 Upskilling: a requirement to attend and participate in one or more employment-related training courses or programmes for a minimum of five hours per week over four weeks. This sanction supports beneficiaries to build the skills they need to get into work.
Beneficiaries on their first obligation failure would only be eligible for these non-financial sanctions if they were in active case management or had dependent children, and they must attend an MSD appointment.
Social Development and Employment Minister Louise Upston said the obligations were passed by Parliament in May and that they were not "unduly onerous".
"They're basic expectations. They reinforce accountability for those failing to meet their obligations, while also recognising that reducing benefits isn’t the answer for everyone."
Upston noted most job seekers were fulfilling obligations with less than 2% on the red or orange settings. "The 98.5% of job seekers at green are committed to finding work, and MSD is fully committed to supporting them to do so."
The traffic light system, introduced in August last year, categorises beneficiaries with work or social obligations into green, orange, or red status.
Those in orange have breached obligations without a valid reason. If they fail to comply within five working days, they move to red and face sanctions.

Biosecurity New Zealand has been quick to respond to the threat of a small yellow-legged hornet (YLH) nest reported by a resident in the suburb of Glenfield.
It is the first time that a queen YLH has been found in New Zealand, after two male hornets were found earlier this year.
The YLH feeds on honeybees 🐝💔 as well as other insects.
We are very fortunate to be free of hornet populations in NZ. Please spread this to your networks—we need the help of Aucklanders to eliminate any further risk.
Take a photo of any suspected sightings 📸 (as with any wasp keep your distance) and report it online at report.mpi.govt.nz or call 0800 80 99 66. ☎️
What do yellow-legged hornets look like?
These hornets (a hornet is a type of wasp) are larger than the other five species of wasps in NZ. They are round 2 cm to 3 cm long with a black head and a yellow face. Between the first and second abdominal segment is a narrow yellow band. The wings are a smoky brown colour and not transparent like other common wasps.
🔗Check this MPI fact sheet to see a detailed image of these wasps and their nests: www.mpi.govt.nz...

Recent fires have caused serious damage to these sacred sites — including Te Pane o Mataoho / Māngere Mountain last year. Even one spark can harm the cultural and natural beauty of our maunga.
Let’s protect these special places together.
