$48,000 P.A. no skills easy hours, call me.

A Beneficiary is upset that the government wont pay her extra to get a degree.

...Natasha Fuller went public last week with their criticism over the scrapping of the training incentive allowance (TIA).

Ms Bennett's office yesterday released details of the Government benefits that the solo mums received - Ms Fuller received $715 net a week...

From http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=10587191

Thats about $48,000 P.A.

Half of Kiwi workers go to work for $37,000 a year or less.

No wonder Ms. Fuller finds it tricky to find a job. She would have to find her way into the top pay brackets to get more than her current pay.

Is that the same chick who received 10 grand to start a cleaning business?

I could start a cleaning business for $200, and thats including a cooked breakfast.

[Mully]

Indeed. Looks like another (poor) attempt by Labour to have a go without giving the full story to the media. Didn't work with that property owner bloke either.

Good on Bennett for getting the full story out.

And I notice one of them had already had $10K off the taxpayer to start a business.

Seriously, they need to dump Phil Goff and Annette King. Terrible

[Winston001]

Pretty much my reaction too. However she has children with medical problems so its a complex situation. I do wonder where the father(s) of her children are though? Naturally he expects the taxpayer to pick up the tab......

Still, $700/wk is good going without having to leave the house.

I'm hungry and my house needs cleaning. When can you start?

The cooked breakfast would be for me.

Looks like another small business down the gurgler then.

No, no, no, no, NO! They should be leader and deputy of the opposition in perpetuity!

Oh, and Paula...

I attribute the failure of my last business to my fondness for a cooked breakfast.






The massive speed habit might have played a part as well.

[Mully]

No, no, no, no, NO! They should be leader and deputy of the opposition in perpetuity!

Oh yeah. I withdrawal my previous assertion. Keep them on.

That's odd, I lost my appetite when I had a similar habit.
The bike was clean-as though!

That's better than Punch and Judy.

yeah, Never worked that way for me.

Think I'm just difficult.

The first time I tried ecstasy resulted in me starting a massive brawl rather then the feelings of euphoria and peace that was expected. Didn't once feel like dancing either.

That's out of it. I waltz round the lounge with the stereo in hyper-fuck-the-neighbours-off mode laughing my arse off and wanting to root the missus non-stop but can't stop chuckling to do so.

Most people I know just drink water on the E's but I still gob the bourbons, go figure. Different things affect different people different ways I guess.

You can make what you like of the people involved, and I choose not to get into that debate, but the issue is more this:

"Paula Bennett has this afternoon told Parliament that, apart from reading the Privacy Commission's website, she did not seek any advice before releasing personal details about the benefits received by two solo mothers.

Ms Bennett told Parliament that guidelines for ministers on the Privacy Commissioner's website allow people to give "implied consent" for their details to be released."

This is a minister of the Crown who has just made a legal decision based on consulting a website. At least it was the Privacy Commissioner's rather than Wikipedia, but that's not the point.

I'm sure there are teams of experts she could have consulted with a quick phone call.

Maybe she's putting her side of the story, maybe it's fair enough, maybe not, but it beggars belief that she just went ahead and did this with no advice.

It might not be so amusing or appropriate in another context.

Epic procedural fail. The Privacy Commission will rightly spank her for this.
