I'm sure it'll "help" some out, but the rest hmmmmm (http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/top-stories/8381183/five-year-welfare-limit-working-welfare-group/)
"Chairwoman Paula Rebstock said around 170,000 working age New Zealanders had been on a benefit for at least five of the last ten years.
This long-term benefit dependence has led to intolerable social costs for the individuals themselves, their children, the broader community, employers and taxpayers."
Errrr yeah, because that's what the problem is, not everyone is working :shit: stupid fucking people...
"A six-month threshold could also be introduced, at which point a person identified as a high-risk of long-term dependency would be placed in either paid or unpaid work."
"WWG said expectations to look for and accept work could be clearer and more proportionate, and credible and enforceable penalties should be in place."
:killingme What, they're just gonna take the placement they're given in light of the consequences :rofl:... they're at the bottom of the "pile" and dealing with it and you think enforceable penalties are the way to go... that's a pretty ignorant statement...
Honestly. Does anyone really expect any of that to work?
This one had me in tears (http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/top-stories/8381348/overhaul-for-welfare-system-presented/)
"Suggestions include moving to an insurance model, forcing solo parents into part time work when their youngest child is one, extending ACC to cover sickness benefits and tighter sanctions for those who don't want to work."
:killingme my god that hurts my sides... and extending ACC cover to sickness benefits aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa...
Anyhoo, seems a little communistic to me...
