NZ First endorses long term dependency on DPB

It's never been clear to me where NZ First stands on the DPB.  Here's an indication:

NZ First spokeswoman for social policy and welfare Asenati Lole-Taylor said ... "I'm one of those people who just don't accept that people can become statistics on the welfare system, knowing full well that they're capable of working. I object to the idea of the welfare system being seen as an easy way of accessing money... Anyone who's on a benefit for more than 15 years, who is not a solo mother with young kids ... it's just madness."

15 years

Right - not 15 days - or 15 minutes - 15 years...

When will someone come out and say what the vast majority of Kiwis knows is the truth: we can't afford even 15 seconds more of bludgers on the DPB, Dole, WFF, Super, etc.

Young kids = 15+ years on DBP? Not much thinking going on I suspect.

Obama got re-elected by promising welfare beneficiaries even more goodies (among other reasons, including voting fraud, but that's another issue.)Conservative, non entitled, working folk are a dying breed. Until The West is bankrupted by welfarism and China turns off the money taps, bludging off honest taxpayers will continue its march. Same in NZ.

Off topic sorry Lindsay, your "prove you"re not a robot" facility requires the eyes of an eagle on steriods and a stab and guess mentality that likely annoy more readers than just me. It does not need to be so difficult surely. Or is this all pary of a fiendish plot to eliminate all bloggers over 30. Fingers crossed. Regards mara

Mara, I'll see if there is some way to change security settings but I have the same problem when commenting on other logger sites.
