Interns are such a dumb idea. The first thing you’re doing is only getting people who can already afford not to work.

Great lets cause even more unemployment issues for young people

This is dumb. Summer interns are usually paid enough to easily get by for 12 weeks but get an invaluable work experience for their CV (and the business gets very little in return because it takes about 8 weeks to make someone useful).
Year in industry interns also have access to student loans IIRC.

Make the tax free allowance equivalent to livable minimum wage, employees tell the government

They cant. You’ve raked in any excess pennies that could have been used to pay them.

I don’t believe that interns should be paid the minimum wage, but I do believe it should be mandatory to pay them the equivalent of the apprentice rate and to limit the duration of internships (perhaps to 3 months)
Making the role paid (even if only nominally) would reduce (not prevent) internships being only available to those who can work for free.
