Don't want to work?

[ManDownUnder]

No problem. If you're scared of working ACC will help you (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10456281).

Only in NZ....

I'd be asking which is the greatest fear... steel capped boot up the arse, starving or working? Im willing to help what ails him...

:angry::angry::angry:What friggan bullshit. I'm not working fulltime because of medical reasons, but I'm living on my own money because I can afford to by living simply. But when someone is on a benefit because they are to lazy to get of their arse and do something about it,:nono:and even at $212 he's getting more than I am working for.

[Stirts]

What he needs a good swift kick up the arse alright....that will fix his "chronic back pain" too. How the fark do you measure 'too scared' to work? just as farken bad as I am too stressed to work...I need stress leave. Oh FFS

Welcome to NZ we love softcocks

Sheesh--and I felt guilty for my two months off on ACC

[R6_kid]

After two days off work i was starting to lose the plot, couldnt think of anything to do, house is too quiet, got bored of the music i was listening too, got bored of playing computer games, just straight ran out of things to do while at home...

I know of people on ACC that are more than capable of working, just because you can't go back to your chosen line of employment doesn't mean you can't work, there is a line of work for anyone that can walk/talk/sit down at a desk... my job is that basic and im earning $17/hr doing so.

man $450 is more than i earn in a week, let me go on acc!

Call ACC they'll help!

This grates me grrrr After being on ACC neally two year and three operations later I am still unemployable! I cant do my old job.I have tried to get ACC to fund a course which would have given me a qualification and they declined.They have turned down my lump sum a well.I have pressured them into now finding me a job as I cant live on my minimal income much longer.My arm changes colour and I live with pain when I lift heavy things(eg:a three year old who was 20 kg )I am waiting for further referals to define my pain.I find riding my bike more comfortable than driving (different angles and presure points )but my freinds have seen days where the pain is too much and I dont go on the bike.Pillion position hurts as well as I have lost reach in my limb.Some of us want our lives back..hell Im as terrified as the next guy about venturing into a new role in the workforce but I have ambitions and goals.

Is there an email address where you can nark on benefit fraud? as i know of a few - but i'd be fucked if im gonna call up some investigator on the phone.
Also finding out how to report benefit fraud in NZ is like asking where the subway is in auckland.

[deanohit]

Who else saw this guy on closeup tonight? What a fucken wacker.:bash: Thought it was brilliant when the presenter pulled out a LLLOOONNNGGG list of easy jobs that were vacant and watching the guy trying to come up with excuses as to why he cant do that job. Now I got nothing against people taking time of work because of injuries, but 24 years is too much for 'chronic ongoing non specific back pain', and his excuse? "The right job hasnt come along." What i'm wondering is was he even looking? Looked fine sitting there watching tv.

Bloody typical, we have hundreds of agencies to give money away and only 1 person to report fraud too.......and you have to ring him (no email address i can find)
If anyone finds this mystery email address - send it too me.
These people are good friends of mine, but wrong is wrong - hence me wanting to be semi-anonymous.
