5 weeks is a long time to go without any income. I don't know the ins and outs of WINZ policies or his situation. But the WINZ website says the stand down is 2 weeks or - if you've been fired or left your job voluntarily - up to 13 weeks. If he is going without for 5 weeks then that sounds to me like a failing of WINZ rather than a failing of the government.

Fair enough though, triggered by bullies? I'll take that.

This whole thing about bullies sounds like an emotional exaggeration to me. I think you've also made a lot of assumptions about peoples personal politics.
