Yeah.... I checked the ACT website - can't find the reference to Starving people...
His message on this:
We have businesses that need workers and we have people on the benefit who need jobs. We need to find a way to get both of them introduced to each other.
I don't know where this has come from, but I suspect it's a distortion of his statements that he wants everyone in NZ to have a job/working. It's an ideal to aim for - not an edict to go eliminate those who are making the stats look bad.
And look, Education to break the cycle is important, jobs are also important, opportunities are important - which is what I think he thinks ACTs focus should be.
