How does one cope under this type of hardship: http://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times...ts-bludger-tag

Regarding today's article: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=10827099

Now I'm feeling bad enough drinking my instant coffee during my lunch hour. I might pledge to give up my instant coffee and put that money towards more worthy causes as giving more to the poor and helping people like this afford to get out of Cambridge.

Those articles raise some assuming questions.

Looks like Paula Bennett is either ~~lying~~ misleading us or needs to join a forum like this to learn how nasty people can get. Being as the refer to Paula by female titles and Paula has a feminine name I would have thought her school life would have taught her how nasty people can be unless she either went to a boys school or was the ring leader.

If your income comes from the public purse then how can it be considered private?

Lastly how come BE is so lowly paid when he is in IT?

that's not from the articles.

I hate it when people who are living on the charity of society complain about their lot instead of shutting the fuck up and being grateful for the assistance that they get. She's an ungrateful cunt.

this article is from 2009? what am I missing? it was clear that Mrs. Bennett did no wrong, privacy is overrated and outdated

and a question, how are benefits capped? this really i find intriguing, in germany we have something called Hartz4, if someone runs out of unemployment benefit Hartz 4 kicks in. However it is Public knowledge what one gets when on this type of benefit, and this applies also to spouses and children.

it seems that in NZ benefits are at the discretion of the social worker ?

Hey leave her alone,she's probably a bisexual pot smoker.
So for the most part she's probably all good with most of you lot huh.

**mashman** · 15th August 2012, 17:58

She's a cunt of the highest order... how dare she go on about privacy when the government she represents deny's all sorts of information under the OIA that is paid for by the public purse... she's almost as brainless as the fucktards who support her position.

Now Now thats not the same, Mrs Benett spent the money she received on the dole to better herself, the other single mothers are just well they are just others.

politician > beneficiary????

doubtful.

politician's benefit > scummy mummy's benefit, though.

I'm not getting that ... but if I get pregnant .. I'm sure I will get MORE than that.

I worked 5 years in my last job, before I was earning enough pay after tax to match what the government is giving that lady. And I had to pay child support out of that, for a kid I was helping to raise.

But I don't need to read that article to smell bullshit in the system. My kids mum is nearly 30, and until beginning of this year she has never had a job in her life (not even working full time now!). Why would she... popped out two bastard kids and ringed their dads and signed up as a student for even more coin.

It's a bit of a face palm to explain she has a better home, with a better car, better food in the fridge, and a bit of pocket money. More so when I then explain I'm progressing through a 3rd trade and have worked full time since before either kid was born.

If you say she's busy looking after the kids - that's bullshit. She plonked both kids in preschool (government pays for some of it!) and pleaded the need for some sanity to her friends to get them to take the kids out each week.

On the upside, I have my bikes.
