    Drug test plan won't work, Labour says

    ""The minister is simply putting in place an incentive which says `if you come in and fail the drug test and say you're a dependent we will move you onto the sickness benefit'," Labour's social development spokeswoman Jacinda Ardern said on Friday."

    WOW, how many people "votes" and what was the demographic of the "voters"... but 10% is more than I'd hope for given the sheepish nature of NZ

    Talking it up is all good but New Zealand is chocka block with rules and regulations that can not be policed or administered effectively now!

    Cut the crap and get rid of most of them and just settle for the most important ones and then support the people that have to police them!

    All we do in NZ is keep on creating work for all the excess lawyers that get churned out of university every year whether we need them or not!

    The last thing this country needs is more laws, lawyers and judges ... they (IMHO) are part of the problem, rather than the solution!

    Was that on close up? When Mike Wanking was saying bene's should be tested because the govt was paying their wages, I wish that woman had suggested the govt also get TVNZ to drug test their staff.

    Would be a 98% fail rate.

    well said, that man!

    but the lawyers have to get paid... so the politicians need to make work for em...
    it's just good business, jack.

    i'd love to love the cops. i really would. i'd love the armed constabulary act to be re-enacted.
    ...but there's no money in it.

    Unlike other indicators such as inflation or GDP, it doesn't spread the pain across the population.

    If your number's up then you bear the disproportionate brunt of the economic downturn.

    And then it still makes things worse for the rest of us. Higher unemployment means the Government takes less money in taxes, pays out more on welfare and the increased demand for jobs puts downward pressure on wages. Oops, the kids are off to Australia, oh dear.

    Attempts to break the cultural cycle around long-term unemployment are also stymied and another generation of kids is condemned to grow up in poverty ... and so on.

    Article continues below

    Never mind, says John Key, who described yesterday's small increase to a rate of 6.8 per cent as a "technical rise" and pointed the finger at the Christchurch quake.

    One might point out that the "technical rise" of 0.1 per cent in the June quarter still represented some 2000 people becoming unemployed


    that would be 2000 new ducklings to drug test....whohoo...i wonder who the drug testing business is going to, at the rate people are loosing their jobs in this country, and subsequently can't find new one...thats a business opportunity.
