1185906 2011-03-14 04:07:00 The one child policy is chinas, not NZs, so they should really be the ones who should be topping up any payout, as I believe it is their policy that has caused that problem. Imagine the outrage if NZ had a one child policy, and not even sure it would ever be permitted in a democracy. robbyp (2751)
1185907 2011-03-14 04:32:00 It is very sad that some chinese families have lost their only "one" child. However, this is China's problem having a sucky law like that. I think NZ govt is being generous enough for such a small tax base in our low population. We struggle now, just trying to fix all the earthquake mess, without having some other country telling us we should pay them more. I knew that no good would come from Helen Clark's free trade with China agreement.

1185914 2011-03-15 00:04:00 The Chinese Govt is being more than a little 2 faced in this matter.

Tragic that the students lost there lives and hopefully it won't be anyone's fault other than the earthquake itself but if my only child had been in China and was killed in a earthquake or other disaster there, am fairly confident that if I asked for a payout let alone a extra payout, I would probably be referred to clause 13, paragraph 4, sub clause 3c of the travel insurance policy assuming they even replied to my request.

As for the students themselves, many, not all, but a large number of them all the same, are not that poor, often they come from better income families and often they are sent international, NZ or Australia to "learn" English etc just so the family can get some peace. Some of them are genuine students and do study hard, but many treat there "learning" here as a holiday away from the family.

1185915 2011-03-15 00:11:00 Yes of course we should give them extra.
For anything over and above the ACC payout, they can get it from Leo Gao. ;)
