842014 2009-12-21 20:49:00 It really gives me the warm fuzzies to know that my hard-earned taxes go towards supporting scum like this (www.stuff.co.nz). NOT. :mad: :mad: :mad: FoxyMX (5)
842015 2009-12-21 20:59:00 Yes, TM forums is debating this right now.....WINZ has alot to answer for IMHO, however their are a number of people defending WINZ saying the couple are intimidating......, *** SolMiester (139)
842016 2009-12-21 21:19:00 In addition, they have received $30,000 in special-needs grants since 2000, including $16,000 in the past two years.

Among the successful applications were grants to put new tyres on the couple's 2007 silver Chrysler saloon and to fence a swimming pool at one of several properties the family owns in Christchurch.

The couple claimed they needed to sell the property and could not do so unless the pool was properly fenced.


And I go down to see what help I can get because of this months crap income. A big fat nothing. They don't help with bills unless A)It's rent and then only a pathetic $45 down here B)You have your final notice from power or something.

842018 2009-12-21 23:12:00 Recent efforts to cancel Darryl Harris' sickness benefit failed after he obtained a medical opinion stating he was addicted to cannabis.

What! Last I heard, cannabis was illegal - if you're addicted to it, that's your problem. :groan:


The opinion was from one of Work and Income's "designated doctors" after the agency appealed against a medical opinion that Harris was suffering from "stress and anxiety" over being work-tested.

!!! I suppose that could be true - I'd be worried if I hadn't had a real job for 25 years and was faced with the prospect of having to become a contributing member of society. Oh, the pressure! :crying


Bennett said she believed Work and Income was doing its best with the tools it had, but it did not have the mechanisms to address the hardest cases.

While they're busy setting up a Traffic Police department, set up a section affiliated with WINZ, and arm them with tasers and automatic weapons to deal with scum like this family...

I was under the impression we do have a boot camp now.

Do you want to send the WINZ employees there or the bludgers or both sets?

842022 2009-12-22 00:59:00 Now, that's a very good question, perhaps it would be appropriate to
send them all! Of course, we could send all our precious politicians as well.

Well as you used the "they" word I asked. Also name one precious other than LOTR.
