Description: It's thought that new beneficiary initiatives make huge financial sense for New Zealand. The Government's announced from November next year, parents who earn more than 65-and-a-half thousand dollars must support their 18 and 19-year-olds. There's also a thousand dollar bonus for certain people who stay off benefits for a year.
