David Seymour: Act leader says party's welfare policy will help people help themselves

David Seymour claims his welfare policy will help people help themselves.  

Under Act's proposal, drug addicts could lose their benefit if they refuse treatment or don't make efforts to find a job.  

It would also apply to people with mental health issues like stress who don't seek help.   

Seymour told Kerre Woodham we need to ask tough questions about our system. 

“Should Government policy assume that people are forever victims or should it be based on the idea that people can make a difference in their own lives?”
