Ironically ACT’s cruel welfare policy is Nanny State on Meth

All Louise Upston needed after that draconian welfare penalty announcement was a Coat and 101 Dalmatians.
Effectively if you fart, they throw you off welfare.

This is what our social policy has become, a culture war revenge fantasy that is focused around punishment, sanctions and making getting welfare almost impossible, how the fuck does throwing 50 000 beneficiaries off welfare into a rising unemployment rate anything other than social malice?

Intellectually it is total hypocrisy from ACT.

ACT is the freedom and small government party, yet their desire to micromanage what the poor can buy with their welfare is Nanny State on meth!

Micromanaging beneficiaries on what they can and can’t buy?

Why do beneficiaries require mass surveillance while gun owners get a Gun lobbyist to camouflage their interests?

Why is the small government freedom party sitting like a ghoul on the shoulders of the poor?

They now want to punish beneficiaries who have children.

That is what NZ elected, that level of spite is who we are now.

At some stage,Kiwis need to take a hard long look at themselves for the far right climate denying racist beneficiary bashing Government they elected, all because a bitter post-Covid electorate hated Jacinda for having the temerity to save 20 000 lives during a once in a century pandemic.

We have mutated into something very ugly under this new Government while the rich laugh at how easily the angry voters were manipulated into giving them what they want.

Spot the difference: Trick Question, there is none.

    • Seymour, Brooke Van Velden and Upston all look like they on various stages of a Meth tripping…

      Seymour can’t stop talking nonsensical garbage…meth tripper.

      Van Velden’s vacant trippy demeanour looks like she has permanently come down from a high and can’t fire up again….meth tripper

      And Upston’ s bulging circus clown eyes suggests that she doesn’t know whether she’s either high, super high, or just startled that she’s been actually asked to come up with something to crush the downtrodden whilst still on a high…meth tripper

      Just think …if it wasn’t for the financial backing of the cocaine snorting, meth tab dropping billionaire set , ACT wouldn’t exist.

      Like Trump & Co., ACT are a very small, very weird, group of people who have found themselves with access to big money.

      Of course, it will all unravel with a tedious inevitability for them….time will turn the screw.

  1. Another sour old person who needs to punish everyone else because she failed in the real world .Much the same as Paula before her .Upston has failed at most things by the look of things ane has been handed another bus to jump under .

  2. The new money card will be about as useful as the gold card .Of no fucken use at all .The gold card sends out all these discounts aimed at people who have heaps of money, like how many pensioners can buy one bottle of wine let alone a box of twelve or a $2000 tv and get 5% off .

  3. With unemployment inching towards 5% and expected to peak at 6%, with the govt still running a chainsaw through the public service, then having to book your appointment to apply for jobseeker allowance, by calling from a public phone located at Scott Base, should dwindle the numbers nicely for Louise and Nicola, who seem like they are auditioning to take over hosting the TV show “Kings of Pain”. (10.15pm Wed TV7)

  4. Watch gang populations swell as disaffected people who have been kicked off welfare look to survive. Gangs will offer accommodation, food and add-ons (e.g. AOD & protection) at little to no cost for the member or affiliate – in exchange for a range of ‘services’ to support the organisation. Organised gangster culture will ensure true division in NZ society, the likes of which we have never seen before and will further empower & entrench organised crime in this country.

    I am not sure if a change in government in 2026 will be soon enough to prevent the subsequent carnage this demographic change cause. Guess we can only wait and see …

  5. Different subject but have a read of the article on Stuff this morning about repeal of section 7a .
    Shows what a lying pack of racist uncaring pricks we have in government.
    It’s titled Luxon if you care about the kids.

  6. “They now want to punish beneficiaries who have children.”

    No it’s actually religious and racial based eugenics in action and everyone seems to have missed it. ‘if you can’t feed ’em, don’t breed ’em’, right?
    The poorest group among us are solo mums. A lot of them are Maori. Scare and punish them enough if they ever dare get pregnant. Mifepristone through MSD as a recoverable cost and voila job half done.

    If you aren’t absolutely outraged by this, then fuck right off, because you’re just playing games while these people are winning the war.
    Any left wing media left in NZ? Give us a fucking call will ya.

  7. “They now want to punish beneficiaries who have children.”

    Presumably Luxon doesn’t realise that the NZ birth rate is so low that the country cannot even sustain its own population anymore, without bludging migrants here from other nations.
    Luxon wants to punish and marginalise the people, who the country needs to make more people. Instead of punching down on them, it might become apparent that making more people is a good thing, because without people making more people, there will be no more people.
    But since he’s set to open the floodgates on genetic modification, will he also start cloning humans,,,why stop at one, when you could have 5 or 10 or 20 Luxons.

    • By default. If the weren’t gifted Epsom a few years ago Act would have been confined to the dustbin along with you Erik. Now the facist ACT party have thier cancerous fingers in the pie our country is a much more dangerous place.

      • But they weren’t were they and how did they go from a single MP in Epsom to 11 MPs in Government? People like you certainly helped them gain traction, you should be proud.

          • The only ACT policy I like is their support for LFOs, that’s it. The Left no longer want my vote.

        • Good lord you really are thick. They went to 11 MP’s because National tanked them. Time for you to have a break Gunsmoke. People like you should never be near guns.

          • People like you shouldn’t be allowed near any sort of power. Get some help, let your anger go.

          • I enjoy a sport that gets you outside & active, in a social environment where no one gets hurt. Could you say the same about rugby?

          • Or do you just watch from the couch, beer in hand, and give your partner the bash when your team loses, like too many Kiwis?

          • You can still do that now Erik. Without the assault rifle. I have walked many a mile stalking ponds and pheasant hunting. Did it just fine with a dog and a 12 gauge.

  8. I think it is hilarious that a party that bangs on ad finitum about freedom and choice, yet for the poorest and most vulnerable in society, they insist on compliance numerous onerous requirements – similarly for accessing any benefit or entitlement (e.g. WFF). Clearly reeks of double standards and duplicity. ACT should speil about freedom and choice – so long as you fund it yourself and fuck everyone else!
