    "Lent" $60k. What a sick joke. That will never be repaid - she'll never have a job.

    Social welfare "loan" used to purchase a "game station" - FFS.

    Probably pregnant again already.

    No doubt all the fault of white middle class males.

    So the family were getting a wage plus family support*8
    Which would have paid rent . Instead they suck of the state tit

    Don't have children you cannot afford.
    Don't give up a paying job.
    Don't buy unnecessaries like a TV and a game console.
    Don't do drugs or let people into your house that do.

    Nobody owes this family a living. If the parent cannot care for their ample children then those children should be given to someone who can care for
    them.

    Aah - the nasty "should of"(sic) argument! If a tourist was lost and
    asked for directions you would probably tell them they should never
    have left home to get lost!

    Our government "lent" them $60,000 of taxpayer money, almost certainly unrecoverable - even if the "borrowers" (who it could be claimed were
    coerced into an onerous lending contract). do not file for bankruptcy
    to "clarify" the government position. Still a motel owner somewhere
    has possibly benefitted - apparetnly they can charge what the market

    Now some people are horrified at the actions of the government -

    how about telling us your view of how it could have been handled more effectively, "Liberty" What do you think the government should have
    done to avoid spending $60,000 on this family? (or if you prefer
    Nat-speak, "should-of"!)

    If they carry on as per their track record and turn the motel unit into

    Of course they would sue the government - as you say they made the
    booking, and they paid the bill, and the tenant has no money! I'm
    fairly sure there would never be a court case - that would be
    embarrassing to the Minister, so they would probably settle early (and
    pay for the room until it was fixed). If it happens in a Housing
    Corporation house they would have to pay; unless they are paying
    additional rent to get out of liability, of course the government is
    liable.

    The family shouldn't have gotten them into this position in the first place.
    It was in their control and they made bad decisions.
    And having made those decisions, what should have been done by
    government to resolve the issues?

    Foster the children out to responsible families and cut the benefit to the mother until she shows she can be responsible and keep her legs together.

    There is a nation-wide shortage of foster parents, and they have
    problems with quite a few of those that are prepared to do it.





    What do you think the government should have
    done to avoid spending $60,000 on this family?

    Er, not paid them the money.
    How does that resolve the issues, Allistar?

    Removes incentive to keep pumping out benefit enablement.

    Yet teh government says it is unacceptable to leave families without
    shelter, and that if they visit WINZ it will be fixed - how are they
    to meet that promise most efficiently?

    If they carry on as per their track record and turn the motel unit into
    a P lab, who does the motel owner sue? Almost certainly the govt. who
    booked the unit in the knowledge of their trail of destruction to date.

    Of course they would sue the government - as you say they made the
    booking, and they paid the bill, and the tenant has no money! I'm
    fairly sure there would never be a court case - that would be
    embarrassing to the Minister, so they would probably settle early (and
    pay for the room until it was fixed). If it happens in a Housing
    Corporation house they would have to pay; unless they are paying
    additional rent to get out of liability, of course the government is
    liable.

    Which makesit a strange decision to put them in a motel block. That
    could be a lot more expensive than just giving them another house to wreck.

    This useless woman has admitted to using meth in three previous state
    houses, yet expects us to believe that the last one, which she got banned from, had meth that was not from her own activities? Yeah, right.

    She is a meth user with 8 children from 11 to 5 months. It seems
    inevitable she will be pregnant again shortly. These children will be
    damaged from meth exposure during and after pregnancy. After all, living
    with 6 or seven kids in a motel room hasn't slowed her breeding rate one
    bit.

    She needs to be sterilised and the kids fostered out for their own good. A meth house with unfit parents is no place for children.

    There's your solution, Dickbot.

    I didn't realise she was a meth user. Children should not be in that environment. Given the number of children she has had over that time period
    she would be nearly permanently pregnant. That means that she was abusing
    meth while pregnant. That should come with a criminal conviction for child abuse.

    WTF are you going on about

    Our government "lent" them $60,000 of taxpayer money,

    The client/parasite didn't get a loan of the government.
    But it did get a loan of a government department.
    There is a difference.
    The Government allocates funds to Departments who waste it.



    almost certainly
    unrecoverable - even if the "borrowers" (who it could be claimed were
    coerced into an onerous lending contract). do not file for bankruptcy
    to "clarify" the government position. Still a motel owner somewhere
    has possibly benefitted - apparetnly they can charge what the market

    The motel owner would have benefited. He has rented out a room.
    That is the whole point of owning a motel.

    Does that change your view of what the government should have done?


    No. Society has to wear this one unfortunately.

    Society is wearing it, but National are attempting to hide that - the
    "loan" gets treated as an asset by the government, so it keeps
    government expenses down which, with similar treatment of other
    spending, they hope will be enought that they can record a
    "surplus"before the almost certainty that it will have to be written
    off forced a write-down - which National will hope falls in the next parliament.

    Creative accounting and spin being put ahead of honesty about the
    increasingly concerning housing and social welfare crisis.

    fairly sure there would never be a court case - that would be

    Certainly not the parents. They have shown themselves to be very
    irresponsible.

    To be honest what happens to the parents isn't my concern, nor is it yours.
    The fate of the children most definitely is our concern.

    This is another reason to favour private healthcare.

    Our government "lent" them $60,000 of taxpayer money,

    The client/parasite didn't get a loan of the government.
    But it did get a loan of a government department.
    There is a difference.
    The Government allocates funds to Departments who waste it.
    The Department only spends money in accordance with governm,ent
    policies - the Minister has defended the actions of the department as
    being government policy.


    almost certainly
    unrecoverable - even if the "borrowers" (who it could be claimed were >>coerced into an onerous lending contract). do not file for bankruptcy
    to "clarify" the government position. Still a motel owner somewhere

    will bear for "difficult" families . . .

    The motel owner would have benefited. He has rented out a room.
    That is the whole point of owning a motel.

    Well I guess prfit for a motel owner makes the whole policy and
    situation OK in your eyes, does it Liberty?

    It is soemthing that National didn't think through in implementing
    their deliberate poilicy to run down housing New Zealand stock in
    favour of private organisations taking oin the provision of social
    housing. This is not the government being out of touch, it is that all
    they wanted to touch was making government smaller and pushing money
    and responsibility to the private sector. The last thing they want
    when making decisions on the basis of blind ideology is propoer
    planning and analysis of likely results - or of public consultation
    and an honest communication of what they have been doing. They play
    word games to talk about the numbers of houses that are being built or
    are available, but don't say how many of those are not yet started
    being built, or will not be built this year, or which have been sold
    to private providers and cannot be relied on to be avaialble
    inemergency cases.

    The reality is that they could not give them another house to wreck
    because they don't have any available. Yes what is happening is
    "strange"; it is also a direct result of deliberate government policy.

    I wasn't aware there is a government policy for you to have more kids than
    you can afford. To waste money that's not yours on things you don't need. To wreck someone else's house to an extent that you get booted out.

    Stop treating the adults in this family like they are victims. Their
    children are, but the adults most certainly are not.

    WTF are you going on about

    Its a bit hard to take children back once they have been conceived or
    born, Liberty. Or were you advocating that some bueaucrat decides
    whether a pregnant mother is allowed to carry a baby to term? Not even
    the authoritarian Nats would have that one on.

    If a mother is a meth head while pregnant I think it's fully justified for >this child abusers baby be taken from her. To poison another person on >purpose? That's disgusting.

    Do you know that the mother was a "meth-head" while pregnant? And
    what are you proposing that the government do with the children?

    P.S. I don't think you know what authoritarian means.

    Our government "lent" them $60,000 of taxpayer money,

    The client/parasite didn't get a loan of the government.
    But it did get a loan of a government department.
    There is a difference.
    The Government allocates funds to Departments who waste it.

    The Department only spends money in accordance with government
    policies - the Minister has defended the actions of the department as
    being government policy.

    Again, you seem to be making out like these parents are victims.
    No I am not. Teh governm,ent has said that they will take care of
    people that do not have anywhere to live - and both the Prime
    Miniister and Paula Bennett have repeated that in recent times. In
    this case they are paying for a motel, and charging the parents for
    the costs arranged by the government


    almost certainly
    unrecoverable - even if the "borrowers" (who it could be claimed were >>>>coerced into an onerous lending contract). do not file for bankruptcy >>>>to "clarify" the government position. Still a motel owner somewhere
    has possibly benefitted - apparetnly they can charge what the market >>>>will bear for "difficult" families . . .

    The motel owner would have benefited. He has rented out a room.
    That is the whole point of owning a motel.

    Well I guess prfit for a motel owner makes the whole policy and
    situation OK in your eyes, does it Liberty?

    What situation? That a family needed accommodation and a motel provided it >for them at market rates? They are in business to make a profit, what's the >issue again? Are you suggesting that the motel somehow be forced to make a >loss?

    No, many are however suggesting that the government is wasting money
    by having reduced its own capacity to deal with such predictable
    family circumstances

    I wasn't aware there is a government policy for you to have more kids than >you can afford.
    And of course there isn't, but it is a reality that many people are
    one emergency away from not being able to support themselves, and
    family cicumstamces can change - for the better or for the worse. For government policy to ignore that reality is of course wrong, but we
    have a government that has ignored such issues n determining to rid
    itself of houses or it appears any means of dealing adequately with
    such difficult circumstances.

    To waste money that's not yours on things you don't need. To
    wreck someone else's house to an extent that you get booted out.
    No-one is condoning either of those - the question is whether
    government policies should be able to deal with such unfortunate but predictable realities.


    Stop treating the adults in this family like they are victims. Their
    children are, but the adults most certainly are not.
    I have not claimed that anyone is blameless, but I agree that the

    Certainly not the parents. They have shown themselves to be very >irresponsible.

    There is a nationwide critical shortage of

    You would probably just shift the cost on to the local DHB
    - in the end the taxpayer would pay more, but I guess that doesn;t

    This is another reason to favour private healthcare.
    How would that help? Or are you saying that the government should just

    WTF are you going on about

    Its a bit hard to take children back once they have been conceived or
    born, Liberty. Or were you advocating that some bueaucrat decides
    whether a pregnant mother is allowed to carry a baby to term? Not even
    the authoritarian Nats would have that one on.

    If a mother is a meth head while pregnant I think it's fully justified for >this child abusers baby be taken from her. To poison another person on >purpose? That's disgusting.

    Do you know that the mother was a "meth-head" while pregnant? And

    She's a meth user, Dickbot. Meth users are addicts that can't stop. Add to that, she's almost permnanently pregnant. So it is somewhere between highly likely and certain.

    what are you proposing that the government do with the children?

    P.S. I don't think you know what authoritarian means.

    Our government "lent" them $60,000 of taxpayer money,

    The client/parasite didn't get a loan of the government.
    But it did get a loan of a government department.
    There is a difference.
    The Government allocates funds to Departments who waste it.

    The Department only spends money in accordance with government
    policies - the Minister has defended the actions of the department as
    being government policy.

    Again, you seem to be making out like these parents are victims.
    No I am not. Teh governm,ent has said that they will take care of
    people that do not have anywhere to live - and both the Prime
    Miniister and Paula Bennett have repeated that in recent times. In
    this case they are paying for a motel, and charging the parents for
    the costs arranged by the government

    They are "lending" them the money. This money will certainly never be repaid so
    it will be written off. So in effect they are not charging for anything.

    The certain fact is that this meth smoking baby factory is getting some $1100 or so a week to entrench this "lifestyle".



    almost certainly
    unrecoverable - even if the "borrowers" (who it could be claimed were >>>>coerced into an onerous lending contract). do not file for bankruptcy >>>>to "clarify" the government position. Still a motel owner somewhere >>>>has possibly benefitted - apparetnly they can charge what the market >>>>will bear for "difficult" families . . .

    The motel owner would have benefited. He has rented out a room.
    That is the whole point of owning a motel.

    Well I guess prfit for a motel owner makes the whole policy and
    situation OK in your eyes, does it Liberty?

    What situation? That a family needed accommodation and a motel provided it >for them at market rates? They are in business to make a profit, what's the >issue again? Are you suggesting that the motel somehow be forced to make a >loss?

    No, many are however suggesting that the government is wasting money
    by having reduced its own capacity to deal with such predictable
    family circumstances

    Of course they would sue the government - as you say they made the

    Which makesit a strange decision to put them in a motel block. That

    It is soemthing that National didn't think through in implementing
    their deliberate poilicy to run down housing New Zealand stock in
    favour of private organisations taking oin the provision of social
    housing. This is not the government being out of touch, it is that all

    The reality is that they could not give them another house to wreck
    because they don't have any available. Yes what is happening is

    Of course. It's the gummint's fault. I completely forgot - silly me.

    I wasn't aware there is a government policy for you to have more kids than >>you can afford.

    And of course there isn't, but it is a reality that many people are
    one emergency away from not being able to support themselves, and
    family cicumstamces can change -

    Like popping out the eight child? That's not "circumstances changing", it's willful and intentional neglect.

    for the better or for the worse. For
    government policy to ignore that reality is of course wrong, but we
    have a government that has ignored such issues n determining to rid
    itself of houses or it appears any means of dealing adequately with
    such difficult circumstances.

    Such difficult circumstances are not the government's responsibility.

    To waste money that's not yours on things you don't need. To
    wreck someone else's house to an extent that you get booted out.

    No-one is condoning either of those - the question is whether
    government policies should be able to deal with such unfortunate but predictable realities.

    They should not.

    Stop treating the adults in this family like they are victims. Their >>children are, but the adults most certainly are not.

    I have not claimed that anyone is blameless, but I agree that the

    Buy them a tent. Farm their kids off to responsible adults.

    What responsible adults?

    Certainly not the parents. They have shown themselves to be very >>irresponsible.

    There is a nationwide critical shortage of
    foster parents for either short or long term care. Where would you put
    the tent?

    To be honest what happens to the parents isn't my concern, nor is it
    yours. The fate of the children most definitely is our concern.

    Really? What do you think the government should be doing about that?

    Placing them in the care of people who are capabler of providing for them.

    You would probably just shift the cost on to the local DHB
    - in the end the taxpayer would pay more, but I guess that doesn;t
    worry you

    This is another reason to favour private healthcare.

    How would that help? Or are you saying that the government should just
    let them die if they cannot afford private health care?

    If they were left to die it wouldn't be the government's fault, it would be
    the community's. The problem is that the government pretends to be the sole organisation that need worry about these issues but they cannot help people
    in an ethical way - it's impossible no matter who pulls the levers of
    control.

    And in the meantime those that read the news are going "tsk tsk, the
    government is doing a bad job" while those same people are doing diddly-
    squat to help. The current system provides an excuse for people to abdicate their social responsibilities.

    What's the real solution to this problem? Compassion through charity. But
    that will never happen while there is a sole organisation that pretends to
    be all that's needed. They're not and can never be.

    WTF are you going on about

    Its a bit hard to take children back once they have been conceived or
    born, Liberty. Or were you advocating that some bueaucrat decides
    whether a pregnant mother is allowed to carry a baby to term? Not even
    the authoritarian Nats would have that one on.

    If a mother is a meth head while pregnant I think it's fully justified for >>this child abusers baby be taken from her. To poison another person on >>purpose? That's disgusting.

    Do you know that the mother was a "meth-head" while pregnant?

    No, I don't. It's not too hard to do the math with that many kids at that
    age. If their house was contaminated with meth you can bet their children
    were too.

    And
    what are you proposing that the government do with the children?

    Protect them from harm which means placing them with responsible adults.

    P.S. I don't think you know what authoritarian means.

    Our government "lent" them $60,000 of taxpayer money,

    The client/parasite didn't get a loan of the government.
    But it did get a loan of a government department.
    There is a difference.
    The Government allocates funds to Departments who waste it.

    The Department only spends money in accordance with government
    policies - the Minister has defended the actions of the department as
    being government policy.

    Again, you seem to be making out like these parents are victims.

    No I am not. Teh governm,ent has said that they will take care of
    people that do not have anywhere to live - and both the Prime
    Miniister and Paula Bennett have repeated that in recent times. In
    this case they are paying for a motel, and charging the parents for
    the costs arranged by the government

    The government should not be making that promise.

    almost certainly
    unrecoverable - even if the "borrowers" (who it could be claimed were >>>>>coerced into an onerous lending contract). do not file for bankruptcy >>>>>to "clarify" the government position. Still a motel owner somewhere >>>>>has possibly benefitted - apparetnly they can charge what the market >>>>>will bear for "difficult" families . . .

    The motel owner would have benefited. He has rented out a room.
    That is the whole point of owning a motel.

    Well I guess prfit for a motel owner makes the whole policy and
    situation OK in your eyes, does it Liberty?

    What situation? That a family needed accommodation and a motel provided it >>for them at market rates? They are in business to make a profit, what's
    the issue again? Are you suggesting that the motel somehow be forced to >>make a loss?

    No, many are however suggesting that the government is wasting money
    by having reduced its own capacity to deal with such predictable
    family circumstances

    These family circumstances are extraordinary, not predictable. And yes, the government is wasting money. But then, that's what they do.

    Apaprently $3000 offered in January was not enough, but it had nbeen
    long enough ago that most people had frgotten. The point was not to
    actually solve the problems - just look like something was being done.

    See
    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11577072
    and http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/kpmg-early-edition/opinion/rachel-smalley-shunting-out-poor-wont-solve-housing-crisis/

    Not that people living in their cars in NZ is anything new. It's just
    another MSM 'Get rid of Key' attempt
    The perception from those invovled that the problem has moved from the traditionally homeless to working families - they sleep in the car and
    one or both parents goes to work - without earning enough to afford
    rent . . . That is what has changed in National's "blighted future"

    but then 'delegate' the task of providing that support to many
    charities that are in fact largely funded by government - with

    Possibly - the pernicious problem with the process is that the current government uses the complexity to gradually reduce the level of
    services . . .

    Your efficiency diminishes our liberties.
    Not at all - you are free to use the services of a private hospital -
    although you should be awarethat they choose not to provide all
    medical aservices.

    So you would be happy for a public servant to look at your parenting

    government authority remove them from your care?

    In cases where child abuse is apparent the correct course of action is to >>prevent further abuse.

    There are
    established procedures for doing just that, but as I am sure you would
    agree, there are careful limits on the ability to remove children from
    a parent or parents. We do not know the extent that the children are
    disadvantages - I would prefer actions to bebased on evidence, rather
    than red-neck reaction to a news article, wouldn;t you?

    And yet red-neck reactions seem to be all you're providing.

    It's apparent that these children are seriously disadvantaged by the >>actions of their parents.

    Can you give a cite for that?

    8 kids living in a Motel because their parents can't afford accommodation? That's sounds like disadvantage to me.

    Even the claim that these people contaminated their state house with
    meth may not be true: https://dimpost.wordpress.com/2016/05/26/notes-on-p-contamination/#comments (See the first comment)


    Then of course there is the difficulty of having someone to do the
    assessment, and to look after the children. Social workers and
    professionals needed for such an assessment are scarce - and foster
    parents even scarcer. Neither role is easy, and funding cuts have made
    them even more difficult.

    Funding cuts? You shouldn't need to be funded to be a foster parent.
    Anyone doing it for money shouldn't qualify.

    Which may be the reason that in many areas of New Zealand there are no
    foster parents available to take children - they often end up staying
    with police or just not picked up until there is a place. I am
    surprised that you would begrudge individuals being paid for
    substantial work to asssit the government with implementation of
    policy.

    They aren't assisting the government, they're assisting society. That point seems to continuously escape you.

    You would probably just shift the cost on to the local DHB

    This is another reason to favour private healthcare.

    Actually our current government likes to make promises about support
    but then 'delegate' the task of providing that support to many
    charities that are in fact largely funded by government - with
    government holding funding as a threat against criticism of government
    policies. It provides a 'cut out' for visible problems, but also leads
    to a fragmented and inconsistent level of service, that probably costs
    more than necessary.

    You're supporting my position. Thanks.

    Possibly - the pernicious problem with the process is that the current government uses the complexity to gradually reduce the level of
    services . . .

    Services that should not be provided by the government.

    But you did not answer my query about your claim that their is a
    reason to favour private healthcare. I am not aware of any private
    hospital that is a charity and does not charge for its services -

    Who said anything about private hospitals not charging for services?

    No-one, but what then is your reson for favouring private hospitals?

    Because having to pay for your own health care via self funding or insurance will encourage people to be responsible with their health. Because forcing
    one person to pay for the health care of another using threats of violence
    is unethical.

    international comparisons show that a privatised system is
    significantly more expensive that a well funded state run system - but
    you possibly favour that result as it provides a return on capital to
    private investors instead of returning benfits solely to our community
    through a government owned system. Higher taxes are OK for some people
    if they line private pockets . . . I prefer efficiency myself.

    Your efficiency diminishes our liberties.

    Not at all - you are free to use the services of a private hospital - although you should be awarethat they choose not to provide all
    medical aservices.

    I am not free to not pay the portion of my taxes that are for public healthcare.

    And in the meantime those that read the news are going "tsk tsk, the >>>>government is doing a bad job" while those same people are doing diddly- >>>>squat to help. The current system provides an excuse for people to >>>>abdicate their social responsibilities.

    So how many needy offspring of others are you currently hosting while
    not being in it for the money?

    Feudalism, which, if you did but know it, you implicitly espouse,
    always incorporated the philosophy known as Noblesse Oblige. In fact,
    society required it of its overlords who knew full well they would not
    survive without observing this form of charity.

    Since then, feudalism has been supplanted by national governments
    voted into power by the populace, but this has not meant the poor and
    needy are not still with us. So governments today continue to observe
    and apply Noblesse Oblige **in your name** as a quintessential social imperative, Not to do so would ultimately result in revolution and
    overthrow, their having been foolish and selfish enough to abdicate
    their social obligations to those they lord it over - e.g. France 1879
    and Russia circa 100 years ago.

    Ultimately, its about national security and stability.

    Since then, feudalism has been supplanted by national governments
    voted into power by the populace, but this has not meant the poor and
    needy are not still with us. So governments today continue to observe
    and apply Noblesse Oblige **in your name** as a quintessential social
    imperative, Not to do so would ultimately result in revolution and
    overthrow, their having been foolish and selfish enough to abdicate
    their social obligations to those they lord it over - e.g. France 1879
    and Russia circa 100 years ago.

    Ultimately, its about national security and stability.

    Aah - the nasty "should of"(sic) argument! If a tourist was lost and
    asked for directions you would probably tell them they should never
    have left home to get lost!

    Our government "lent" them $60,000 of taxpayer money, almost certainly unrecoverable - even if the "borrowers" (who it could be claimed were
    coerced into an onerous lending contract). do not file for bankruptcy
    to "clarify" the government position. Still a motel owner somewhere
    has possibly benefitted - apparetnly they can charge what the market
    will bear for "difficult" families . . .

    Now some people are horrified at the actions of the government -
    instead of just criticising the recipients of charity for needing it,
    how about telling us your view of how it could have been handled more effectively, "Liberty" What do you think the government should have
    done to avoid spending $60,000 on this family? (or if you prefer
    Nat-speak, "should-of"!)

    They wern't lent anything Rich. Are you to stupid to understand the money is what WINZ paid for their motel bill because they had no other accomodation.
    Why shouldn't WINZ be entitled to ask for the money back? After all the dumb husband quit paid employment so he could 'look after' the family. Now
    quiting work to look after the family is like you Rich an oxymoron. Because
    if you had a single functioning brain cell even a loopy lefty like you
    should understand that decreasing the family income doesn't look after
    anyone and in fact just makes life harder for the family he obviously can't afford!

    Is there any provision for a too large family? Perhaps foster care?

    In the old days, children were a blessing.
    They started work at a young age, and older children helped raise the
    younger ones.
    Now women must work outside the home, managing more than two children could
    be a problem.

    These days families are frequently limited to one or two children.
    How can people with too many be helped?

    These days families are frequently limited to one or two children.
    How can people with too many be helped?

    Families (as you wrote) looked after every-one the oldest caring for the

    Contraception has been around for years.
    Yet this simple couple are breeding like rabbits.
    Reminds me of a film

    Stop insulting rabbits! If accomadation and food is short rabbits don't

    afford to raise their kids!

    Wouldn't it have been better if the dumb bitch or her partner had used a contraceptive? It's stupid to risk having more children than you support
    Rich. But that sort of responsable attitude seems to not have to apply in
    the eyes of you, the msm or your glorious Labour party. When are you going
    to expect people to take responsability for their own dumb actions and be
    able to rely on the taxpayers to support your irresponsable actions?


    Our government "lent" them $60,000 of taxpayer money,

    The client/parasite didn't get a loan of the government.
    But it did get a loan of a government department.
    There is a difference.
    The Government allocates funds to Departments who waste it.
    The Department only spends money in accordance with governm,ent
    policies - the Minister has defended the actions of the department as
    being government policy.


    Funds are used for many things Rich and if you need emergency housing there
    is an expectation and requirement for you to pay back the money. Why do you
    see a problem with that? After all it was policy under Labour so in your
    myopic marxist eyes it should surely be a 'good' policy.


    almost certainly
    unrecoverable - even if the "borrowers" (who it could be claimed were >>>coerced into an onerous lending contract). do not file for bankruptcy
    to "clarify" the government position. Still a motel owner somewhere
    has possibly benefitted - apparetnly they can charge what the market
    will bear for "difficult" families . . .

    The motel owner would have benefited. He has rented out a room.
    That is the whole point of owning a motel.

    Well I guess prfit for a motel owner makes the whole policy and
    situation OK in your eyes, does it Liberty?

    Nothing of the sort Rich. Your just being stupidly obtuse again. The motel owner has as much right to make a profit as a stupid prat has to ask for emergency accomodation (which is according to the article charged at a lower rate than normal). Or do you believe that on top of paying a higher tax rate than you or I the owner should be happy to give the rooms free of charge and
    go out of business just because some dumb bitch can't keep her legs crossed
    and her boy friends to lazy to pop into the nearest family planing clinic or std clinic to get condoms?

    So you're saying there is a medical issue?
    Does that change your view of what the government should have done?


    No. Society has to wear this one unfortunately.

    Society is wearing it, but National are attempting to hide that - the
    "loan" gets treated as an asset by the government, so it keeps
    government expenses down which, with similar treatment of other
    spending, they hope will be enought that they can record a
    "surplus"before the almost certainty that it will have to be written
    off forced a write-down - which National will hope falls in the next parliament.

    Creative accounting and spin being put ahead of honesty about the increasingly concerning housing and social welfare crisis.

    The only creativity and spin in this thread is all yours Rich. National
    isn't hiding anything. However the msm is making your day by pushing this
    dumb familys self induced* problem onto the front page.

    In the old days, children were a blessing.
    They started work at a young age, and older children helped raise the

    Today Geo the children from this sort of family grow up and become
    beneficiarys putting an even larger strain on government resources.

    Now women must work outside the home, managing more than two children
    could be a problem.


    Yup and in most cases they stop at the two and continue to be productive members of society. I have neighbours with one child paying off a morgage.
    Mum works nights, Dad works days. Money is tight but they manage. Their is frequently a lot people can do for themselves in these situations. But
    quiting a job ain't how it's done:)

    These days families are frequently limited to one or two children.
    How can people with too many be helped?

    For starters providing free operations to provide gauranteed contraception
    as a requirement for child support after first two children:)

    If they carry on as per their track record and turn the motel unit into a
    P lab, who does the motel owner sue? Almost certainly the govt. who booked the unit in the knowledge of their trail of destruction to date.

    don't need to have a lab to contaminate a building with P. Just have to
    smoke it in the building. But good point. Wonder if the motel owner has the rooms checked regularly.
