   362,400 people aged 1 between 18 and 64 are on welfare benefits. (June 2010 figures). The Prime Minister, John Key, said today that if National is re-elected, there would be changes to the benefits. Sole parents who have children aged 14 and over will have to register for full-time 2 work. Similarly, those people now on unemployment or sickness benefits will have to register for work. This could be part-time work if people are not able to work 40 hours a week.


  Sole parents will have to register for part-time work when their youngest child is 5 years old. If a woman on a benefit has another child she will have to register for part-time work when that child is one year old.
  Seriously ill people and those with serious disabilities will not be expected to work. They will receive a benefit.
  The Leader of the Opposition 3, Phil Goff, said that there are not enough jobs. Labour instead would pay employers to train apprentices 4.
