FFS Dumbo! That's been going on since that loopy lefty in Ashburton went
mad and shot WINZ staff! Obviously lack of comprehension and stupidity
is a requirement for the loopy left.

Also rather odd that the info provided about new rules seems to be three
years old. Oh hang on isn't that when the marxist muppet went nuts in Ashburton? Sheesh Rich looks like you're not the only marxist muppet
takes three years for information to work it's way into that last brain
cell.

And here's another article covering the new development. http://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/88925965/visiting-a-work-and-income-branch-you-must-produce-id

Will MSD need to employ more guards to protect the guards who may have
problems from frustrated people unale to access the building to ask
for assistance?
