It would be insightful to understand the 'family background' of Eli Epiha. <br /><br />If it transpires that he was a product of welfare dependant, solo parenting, dysfunction, then in a very real sense, those who advocate for such polices are culpable. I don't know if there is anyway we are allowed to know such things, but it strikes me that we need to keep calling out these policies, not just because they are immoral, but because of the outcomes they produce. Not just for the children affected, but also the innocent people they end up harming, often killing, from babies to (potentially) policemen.Brendan McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741263914308842497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-34551317904452103142020-08-14T17:32:03.064+12:002020-08-14T17:32:03.064+12:00Thank you Zoroforever.

When I ask them if they have ever read anything you have published they say Lindsay who? Ask them if they have heard or read anything by Thomas Sowell and I get an even bigger blank face from them.<br />The ordinary middle class people in NZ have never bothered to explore the links between poverty and crime etc with the growth of welfare. Beecroft just suggests throwing more petrol on the fire.Zoroforeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586573715609292897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-48532113351409271772020-08-14T10:44:22.251+12:002020-08-14T10:44:22.251+12:00John, It depends on how many children she supports...John, It depends on how many children she supports, their ages and the region she lives in.

What happens to children who fall prey to the outcomes produced by this ideology is nothing less than evil.<br /><br />If this were not bad enough, it is supported, applauded, celebrated and condoned by none less than the Children's Commissioner. <br /><br />Of all the feckless, stupid, wrong headed policies initiated by this Government this is by far the worst. We can recover from failures in housing, transport, education and even health, but you cannot reverse the impact of State funded poverty, learned helplessness and dependency in a single generation, if ever.<br /><br />This is dispiriting reading Lindsay, but thank God you are reporting it, and at least attempting to shift public opinion.Brendan McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741263914308842497noreply@blogger.com
