This should be a real clear sign that these guys are fucking idiots.
Unemployment since 2009 has been steadily decreasing (almost halved since 2009), and is currently at 2021 levels (4%) https://www.stats.govt.nz/indicators/unemployment-rate
This is not a problem that needs fixing right now.
Going back even further to 1991, the trend is still down except for the 2008 financial crisis: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/NZL/new-zealand/unemployment-rate
