WINZ is using MailChimp to send email. Email. A public service agency is paying a private company in the US to send email for it. Seriously? WTF.

I've been saying for ages that NZ Post ought to be pivoting into hosting email. Handling large-scale mailouts like this is a classic example of a service they could actually be making money out of, doing the digital equivalent of their traditional business.

We all know #WINZ, (Work and Income New Zealand), it’s still what is been called today, even though it has been Department of Work and Income for years.

Now I know why they have a #toxic #culture, as it has just click that #DWI stands for driving while intoxicated!

As far as I'm aware the tenth of February is after the second of February. I think it's a glitch. The computer has seen the 10 and interpreted it as 01, hence why the letter is dated 2 February. And because of that my payments have been stopped 🙄 That's #WINZ for you. #bastards

Stop sending me a "Disability Assessment form".

The #GP even wrote that. But no, your #CorporateDrones only look at EXACTLY what they're told to and ignore EVERYTHING ELSE, because they have damn will of their own.

FUCK YOU.

"Here and elsewhere (e.g. Ireland) the take-up rate for [WINZ dental] grants is known to be abysmal. Either the people with greatest need don’t know such grants exist, or the hoops to be jumped through to obtain this “emergency” relief amount to a significant deterrent. The grants tend to be restricted to emergency remedial care, and do not fund the preventative work required to avoid future problems."

@mikeythenurse
No I didn't. That's even more frustrating. I've long advocated for abolishing WINZ, giving their income support functions to IRD (reverse taxation innit), and putting the work brokering stuff under MBIE or somesuch. So much wasted resource could be freed up.

I just sat down with a young couple who have been sleeping under an awning at my local shops through the winter. They said they've finally been grabbed a benefit, so they can rent a room. But now they're waiting for the end of the "stand down" period that WINZ insist on waiting before starting payments, leaving them sleeping rough for at least another two weeks. Words can't express how incensed I am by the casual violence of that policy.
