I'm quitting work to go on a sickness benefit

[Subike]

Does anyone here know the family involved?
I have had dealings with them and they are one scarey family.
I sure as fuck wouldn't want to deliver the news that their dole had been cut.

Hey guys,
how many of you have any idea at all about the Harris brothers?
This family would be the most violent group in the chch area.
They are extreamly well known to the police, courts, any almost any govt department they can extord funds out of.
They were the family that caused the police to promote the "consorting with known criminals law"
They have been respocibile for many beatings, arsons, drug deal, burglaries etc and nealy all of them have done jail time, including their wives . It is on public record the activities this one family has done.
If you think that it would be just a matter of fronting up to them and saying, " your benifit has been cancelled" Expect you house to be burnt, your car trashed, your children hasseled, and you would be basically looking over you sholder everythine a car backfired. They are known to carry weapons.
The Harris Brothers........one of NZs worst families

If you think Im am finger pointing and making bold asertions about them, just go look up that name in the public court records of the press, they are well known crims

[MIXONE]

Whats so bad about the family?

Just ask anybody from Chchur and they will no doubt be able to tell you a few stories.
They were originally known as the Harris Gang but later developed into the Road Knights.
A bad pack of bastards without doubt.

Those 'bullet notes' sound better every post. Mabey Tank is onto something

Buddy, if you think the dole is cushy you need to recalibrate.

And the 100's of jobs don't mean shit. I'm presentable and qualified and I'm still not getting hits onSeek/Herald/TM/CareerJet/...etc jobs. If I was some (ex-?) gang member with presentation issues, living outside of a major centre I would stand no hope at all. There is a big ferkin recession on, y'know.

My point exactly as well,you see the idiots at WINZ turn up scruffy as and expect a job,wtf.At least make an effort to look like you want a job.

Also if you have money to launder lol,go to a local TAB open an account and deposit the money into it,not a bank so you can honestly say you've no assets in a bank.

A yearly review is fuck all to have to do.

So, why are they not in jail now? Last I looked you don't get UB in jail? And I thought from Paula's leaked story to Espiner that they'd been on benefits continuously for 25 years...

[HenryDorsetCase]

And she goes public and get's it. No slant on my post. Ya just need to fucken read in the normal position like everybody else does.

sitting hunched over on the dunny, with sweat trickling down your brow?

Typical Paula B - pick a case like the Harris scumbags and somehow imply, this is normal.......

As far as Im concerned - there are jobs out there. To have someone unemployed for over 12 months makes them just like the Harris family.

I don't really think thats what the intention was or that it was implied it was normal

Used to be a client of ours, always paid cash no matter how expensive the item

On of their scumbag associates did hit 3 of our stores for around $3500 worth of goods with a stolen cheque book though

On the basis of what? I've been looking for months and applying for anything that looks even close, and have not had great results. There are always jobs out there, true - but the real issue is that there are fewer, and lesser, jobs, that businesses are still not enthusiastic to create new roles, and hiring managers are being more and more picky and specifying tighter prereqs and required experience than ever. Friends of mine have even given up on getting work in NZ and have returned to the UK for a while (leaving family behind). We are still well in the grip of the recession, employment-wise. In an environment like this, being unemployed for 12 months is quite feasible.

And if you are trying hard like that (and I assume you are - and I feel for anyone in that situation) - would you have a problem reapplying after 12 months.

Some of the more left leaning folk on here find that a reprehensible thing to have to do.

BTW - the K is well more fucked than NZ - more chance of jobs down here !!!

Has anyone mentioned that this family also won first division lotto in the early 90"s

Actually had another big win too.

Man, when you look at that family you can just see how well they've benefitted from leeching off the tax-payers.

Pictures of glowing health and testimony to good living they ain't....

No, he couldn't possibly be forced to undertake rehab, as that could take away his right to continue bludging.

simple just makes the benefits conditional upon under taking rehab

no rehab = no benefit, simple and fair

It was a shared 1st division win

but...but, they did good with the $650K that they won buying a nice big house in greenpark and buying an affiliation with the roadknights

Then going on to try and seed a change of power in the devil's henchmen.....funny as when all the old boys gave them the

They're a cornerstone of Christchurch whitepower gangs......even the oldman had dealings with them in the 60s when he was in the Christchurch City council MOT
