A quick question
The Nats are going to terminate the benefits of those who fail or refuse drug tests. I have a question…
beneficiary bashing
Contraception debate
The Government is planning to offer free long-term contraception for beneficiaries and their daughters. At one level its a sensible idea. But it comes with too much baggage attached. The Nats have already made such a mess of it that they can’t make this proposal with any credibility.
Welfare fraud and reform
National will keep demonising the most vulnerable members of society for electoral gain, while turning a blind eye to much bigger problems.
Welfare debate already ugly
According to Social Development Minister Paula Bennett, the welfare debate could get nasty: “we may even see an ugly side of New Zealand”. Well here’s a newsflash – the welfare debate is already ugly. The Nats have worked long and hard to make it ugly. Paula Bennett the ugly side of New Zealand is you.
