Here's my bitch about it, how they hell can you say you're going to make people go to work, without assuring those people there is work for them?
And if they take up that part time cleaning job at the local Supermarket how is that going to be enough to support families?
Families shouldn't have to be uprooted to chase that cleaning position in Auckland's red light district when they could be living a healthy and supported life style in the country, by supported I mean family and community ties and settled in country schools.
What I do think is good 'Focus and Goals' I like the 1 year reapplication concerning the unemployment benefit, I think this would help people to focus and goal set - though that's something you would think WINZ would be concentrating on anyway.
Are these people in the top salary brackets also the people who set the wages of our lowest earners...so effectively creating welfare dependency anyway? Why are they getting tax cuts?
It's got to be case by case or not at all. Because in some cases the glove won't fit.

It will be a non event just the same as all other attempts at culling "benefit bludgers" have been. I also think it's a diversionary tactic to take the focus off the mining issue.

Agree on both accounts...talk about calling the kettle...Paula B. There are no viable jobs out there for everyone.
I am very tired of this government and all its antics and back tracking as for Brownlee-brown nose and Johnny-lost-his-key...give me a break listen to the people of the nation not the business sector.

Not fair is that Misi, I'm right behind you with the grrrrrrrrrs etc.
Imo Hardies the manufacturers of the mono sheeting that appears to be the main culprit of the leaking homes, are the ones who should be footing the bill for this debacle.

Hey folks - from a distance it's just typical same old same old. Where's the (dare I say it) "think big" attitudes re: the economy? Being in another economy is very interesting and reading this sort of stuff just makes you realise that this new government doesn't have a lot of ideas. I actually thought Key might bring something to the country, but it doesn't look that way. It's just the recycling of old ideas.

Yes well you know things haven't changed when the 'staunchly self centered couldn't give a toss about anyone else because they're too busy wanking their own loose units' agree with every selfish move this Government makes...
John Key in response to the question, why isn't alcohol being taxed to buggery alongside ciggarettes...his reply, because New Zealanders are occasional social drinkers, and its not a health issue....fudge me dead...I'd rather... than being cut down by an intoxicated driver, or have my throat slit being caught up in the middle of some drunken melee happening on the sidewalk, wrong place wrong time!
Can anyone tell me why Binge drinking New Zealand has been targeted over the last few years, in hardcore advertising. The reality of the drink when abused.
Waste of time, not a reality at all according to Key, interesting that some of the 'hard' ( I use the term very loosely) righties also appear to be hard drinkers...looks like Key understands his flock well.

Not a social issue? Bleedin hell where does that man live? It really pisses me off how the "rich" have NO idea of the realities of life beyond their own privileged protected circle of affluence. We see them on TM (the supposedly wealthy) doing the same thing, giving out their opinions based only on their own lives, not what life is truely like.

Yes well those types think because they're doing expensive whine, that they can't be drunken sots because 'HOMELESS' people are drunks and they're just sipping continuiously because the man of the moonor is out making the hay while they're rolling all over it camoflaged in cow patties ;D

Excellent analogy Lux .. ;D This is fine example of just much they really care about the less fortunate .. #31 down. www.trademe.co.nz/Community/MessageBoard/Messages.aspx?id=273531In amongst those negatives, the following is a real positive ... "But to restrict parliament to those who can afford is an affront to democracy."
