What happens when the system that is meant to help you begins to treat you as a problem to be managed, a risk to be watched, or a file to be processed?
In Who Dares WINZ, Graeme Axord draws on decades of advocacy, lived experience and close observation of Work and Income New Zealand and the wider Ministry of Social Development.
Who Dares WINZ looks at the gap between the promise of support and the reality many people meet when they need help most. It explores dignity, suspicion, discretion, relationship rules, debt recovery, disability, fraud investigations, and the stark difference between how the state can treat beneficiaries and how it appears to treat others.
