    If you are replying to a post, then include the quote, otherwise it becomes impossible to follow a thread - especially if someone posts in the middle.

    Edited.. but surely it would be easy to understand if one post follows another

    You can't guarantee that it will. And if reading back a week later, it's a dam sight easier to read all in one post. It's not hard to do things properly.

    And oh yes, cannot even immigration numbers down despite all the evils associated with high immigration numbers (according to her and Winston).

    Let's Do This - Breed a Country of mindless Beneficiaries like the ones posting here for Comrade Cindy.
    Careful you might end up a benefit yourself who knows you might be on NZ Super and thats a benefit...

    When I get my super, it will be my just returns for the years of paying taxes from gainful employment & taking business risks.

    You - once a beneficiary, always a beneficiary mindset? Understandable but try not to pass that mindset to others lest they become foot voters for Comrade Cindy's bred army of beneficiaries.

    I don't think so. Benefit dependency and inter generational beneficiaries is a pox on this country and a pox on those families. For people to choose benefits as a lifestyle choice is just so sad. It's also sad that we have a system that encourages this sort of behaviour.

    It is sad that victim blaming is so common and acceptable. Victim blaming is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Blaming others sets them up as bad so we can then project our bad feelings into them rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings.

    It costs the state hardly anything. at most you're talking 1% of the population. It would be worse for the country if some people were in the workforce or in prison. Full employment for everyone of working age regardless of productivity is not helpful or desirable and what's more is bad for the economy. It will hinder business in a large and unneeded way.

    Bleeding heart BS - Excuse & garbage from the tax & spend brigade to breed more beneficiaries & dependent voters.
