NZ needs a new direction...

[Praktica]

I'm sure you understand that prior to benefits being available, the situation was far worse with starvation being a distinct possibility for some. There are actually some people who'd prefer that to still be the case.

People do still need to look after themselves - a far as I understand it, WINZ doesn't offer any cleaning, washing, lawnmowing, gardening, parenting services. 

And if people don't meet the requirements then they won't get a benefit; no benefit is 'forever'.




Interestingly, I've just stumbled across this - nice easy life on a benefit for this woman. Not.

 For those who are (or should be) fit and healthy, that's a HUGE problem.

Why?
