From Morning Report, 6:40 am on 26 April 2018

Social Development Minister Carmel Sepuloni says an announcement on the promised overhaul of the welfare system can be expected in the next three to four weeks. Questions have been raised again about Work and Income's culture and processes, following RNZ's story this week about a south Auckland mother who was told her benefit was cut because she'd been on two Tinder dates. RNZ social issues reporter Sarah Robson asked National's social development spokesperson, Louise Upston, about her concerns.
