In the jelly wrestling match that was Bennett versus the beneficiaries this week, I think Bennett gets the honours.

Paula Bennett is prepared to say sorry for the release of private income details of two solo mothers if a Privacy Act complaint is upheld.

Paula Bennett has asked her officials to look into setting up a loan to help solo parents cover their extra study costs.

Paula Bennett says one of the solo mothers whose benefit details she made public is not angry and didn't feel her privacy had been breached.

Social Development Minister Paula Bennett is unrepentant for disclosing the amounts two solo mothers have received in benefits.

Paula Bennett told Parliament that, apart from reading the Privacy Commission's website, she did not seek any advice before releasing details of two solo mothers' benefits.

Details of benefits received by two solo mothers have been made public by the Government after the pair criticised cutbacks.
