Judging by the reaction of most of my Facebook friends, I am at odds with the prevailing view on Social development Minister Paula Bennett. Or maybe only The Left can be arsed getting their knickers in a twist over it.
Once again my blog on the subject failed completely to elicit any responses,
but Chris certainly did via his Facebook page. Here's a smattering of opinion:

Chris:- Kia kaha, Paula Bennett! Beneficiaries are scum of the earth who should be afforded no special privileges whatsoever, in fact we should treat them the same way that we treat suspected Iraqi terrorists, i.e. set the fucking attack dogs on them. You go, girl.
Andrew and 5 others like this.
Peter:- Apparently not only is John Key a cunt, he also has some spare cunts that can walk and talk independently. Like sentient Muppets.

Chris:- Yeah, I suspect it's only a matter of time before National cut all the Creative N.Z. and N.Z. On Air funding, too, 'cos we all know that musicians and artists are a pack of lazy mongrels living off the state and scrounging for handouts. Fuck 'em all, and if they complain, then Paula Bennett can make a database of them and publish it online in much ... Read more

Shayne:- I think once they finish refurbishing eden park they should use it for roll calls, mass work seminars (This is how you clean a police car!) or the occasional public flogging. bring back Work For The Dole!

Jo:- I'm presonally awaiting the elimination of Arts and any creativey stuff from universities, thereby allowing more funding to allocated to the REAL areas like business, engineering, and law. And also preventing those bohemian scum from having any aspirational ideas.

CheapSex AtSquid:- I love how The Left are so aggravated on this issue. It's like the 80s all over again. http://cheapsexandotherstories.blogspot.com/2009/07/pot-calling-kettle-black.html

Shayne:- yes. i'd have to agree cheap sex. being on the dole truly does insulate one from the real world...

Chris:- The Left? You don't have to be on the left to be a scrounging bloody dole bludger, mate, you just have to be out of work or a single mother! Fucking spongers... put them in the army, I say!

Chris:- Oh, and being an ex-dole bludger now with a cushy minister's job seems to have insulated Paula Bennett from the real world quite nicely - apparently having shitloads of money'll do that for ya quite quickly...

Jo:- No no no - she still lives in West Auckland - she knows what's happening on the streets. She doesn't need to read carefully researched reports to know where it's at.

Natasha:- I had an unbelievable 90 minute meeting / interrogation with WINZ 3 weeks ago, to sign up for a temporary "Sickness Benefit" ( that's what they put pregnancy under); After going to the wrong desk where the woman sighed and said "DPB, over there" (the third time Studylink has made a comment like that to the quite married me); and at near full term ...

Shayne:- i can remember working on a building site and this old codger came up and started going on about "solo mums - bloody bitches!". i suppose it's a continuation of the bloody maoris/coconuts/chinks school of thought. obviously all these people ARE to blame for our social ills and impending economic ruin of course... but my mum was a solo mum. i grew up in a street FULL of solo mums. they are different from us you know...

Jo:- Natasha - have you thought about actually giving birth at the WINZ office, just so they can be really sure that you have got a baby, and you're not just making it up to get out of working at Macs? (I myself only had a baby to take advantage of the 14 weeks amazingly well-paid parental leave on offer. I sent him back after that.)

CheapSex AtSquid:- watch out - it can't be long b4 WINZ use FB to prove ur not actually seeking work (ie ur on FB too much).

Jo:- Maybe we SHOULD send our babies to the government after 14 weeks (or whatever the current mandatory breastfeeding period is) - then they could get the kids into the Macs training schemes nice and early, and ensure that very few people ever actually try to get stupid things like tertiary educations or become musicians.

Natasha:- Haha, yes we're having number 2 for the extra 60 bucks...I did seriously consider it Jo, but settled for getting all pissed off, ringing the 0800 number, finding someone who agreed that yes, the dunedin branch is not "entirely helpful",and gave me a few pointers, which led me to being able to march (sorta) back in, and while presenting forms for the extra things we are eligible for, asking why I hadn't been fully informed of my rights. She signed off and got rid of me as soon as possible.

Natasha:- yeah just as we thought the baby boomers could start to die off after milking absolutely everything, then complaining profusely at subsequent generations asking for anything, we've got a new generation of fuck heads who have what they need and feel they can tell everyone else to move along. I'm not sorry for swearing cos chris swears all the time. I've seen him.

Jo:- Well, you know, Paula did pull herself up by her bootstraps. (My favourite line - the Listener article titled 'The girl from Struggle St'. Give me a f**king break!) So clearly everyone can if they really WANT to. I mean, it's not like the quality of life of the upper middle class is dependent on the existence of a vast pool of under-employed badly paid labour or anything!

Chris:- Yeah, and I'm still waiting to get prosecuted for stating on facebook that Clayton Weatherston is a murdering arsehole, thereby apparently jeopardising his chances at getting a fair trial. Rot in jail, psycho boy. And Paula Bennett can suck a fat one, the evil fascist bitch.
