Had no idea that more of your tax goes towards social development than on health or education.

And in related news, the welfare group that dear old Sue Bradford is working with is recommending doubling benefits.

The alternative group, chaired by Massey University social policy expert Mike O’Brien and including former Green MP Sue Bradford, says current benefits of $194 a week for a single adult or $366 for a sole parent with one child are “simply too low to live on”.

It calls for restoring benefits “as a first step” to the proportion of the average wage that applied before they were cut by up to $27 a week in 1991. That would mean raising the single dole by 53 per cent to about $296 a week and lifting the benefit for a sole parent with one child to about $536 a week.

This is New Zealand. Money grows on trees. Ask any socialist, money grubbing politician. Now I just need to find the fucking orchard and my garage will look pretty ...
