Ashburton Winz murders: John Russell Tully rampage – 10 years on from tragedy
We are not allowed to talk about Russell John Tully.
He is the nameless horror outside the rattling windows whistling gaps from underfunded maintenance.
WINZ and MSD are sociopathic organisations staffed with burn outs who grow to despise the vulnerability and weakness of their ‘clients’.
It is an ocean of petty tyrants who enjoy the power sadistically and take great joy in declining requests while lecturing.
Russell John Tully was a fractured man at the end of that tether and he shot up and murdered WINZ Staff in an act of violence that freaked the entire bureaucratic establishment out because the unspoken deal between the neoliberal welfare agencies and the Government of the day that underfund them, is that they are not held to account for the harvest of bitterness their spite produces.
Paula Bennett who was leading the usual attack on beneficiaries must have thanked her stars that this violence didn;t spark a wider movement against WINZ or MSD offices.
Russell John Tully’s violent defiance threatened to overwhelm the barriers put in place to dehumanise and belittle the poor, and that is why he is made invisible while every single WINZ Office is now staffed and manned by burly security guards who intimidate the moment your shadow darkens the door.
John Russel Tully is a toxic legacy that we can never discuss in case he inspires a tsunami of rage from an ocean of homeless beneficiaries who rise up and cast their terrible vengeance against a cruel bureaucracy protected by the Political elite who underfund them.
Martyn – This is word for word what a former WINZ case manager told me…thanks for posting this.
Lots of desperation around if you live in that demographic pass thru Hastings & Napier last week and the homelessness is visible people pushing shopping trollies mostly maori I talked with had land in pertuality lease and were given $40 for forty year lease $10 a year pathetic. Apparently maori are this huge threat to democracy wanting to practice apartheid but the people on the streets in Hastings/Napier aren’t even capable of finding a rental property and food insecurity is daily and the only danger I came across was catching the flu or something worse.
While I’m no God botherer ” Evil prevails when good people fail to act.”
When scumbags in WINZ get their kicks from their own preferences for expressing their psychopathy it’s up to us to go and fuck them up. They are there to best help us. When they don’t, do they expect a round of applause?
Right now, as I write, the cheap, plastic Natzo’s are blow-jobbing their pre-election donors while we do nothing.

That’s because luxon and his trans-party cronies were lobbyied to bend over for the heavy road transport Mafia I bet.
Dunno bout the burly security. Most i see standing guard couldn’t intimidate a fly.
BwaV – Not worth posting. Adds nothing to the examination of how things are by picking up on some trivial aspect. Makes no difference whether you’re black or white or licorice assorted, this needs solemnity, not being sardonic.

Do you think anyone’s comment here – whether solemn or sardonic – will make a difference ?
Perhaps if we all post a you tube link to a feel good song things will change for the better…
You sound frustrated bwav. I do believe it is important to keep making our points and not undermine what others say, unless you feel you have to! And knowing that others have good opinions and explanations is heartening.
One hopes that our superior human intellect will be found somewhere. In the old English who-dun-its I love, the item searched for is likely to be in the Railways Left Luggage Office.
I think it is important to keep a little joie de vivre? to spray on our minds now and then for a good feel. We can’t keep going without music, some humour, some cleverness or sweetness from the creatives. Some kapa haka, some Herbs, some folk songs from the English past, some protest songs, Inia Te Wiata, My old man’s a dustman or an All Black, etc Old saying ‘Don’t let the bastards grind you down.’ Sorry if you never swear but it is helpful at times when utterly frustrated. It’s your life spirit we need to boost ours with a vengeance. If some music helps to lift your mood, and say something that mere rational words cannot, then it can do good.
Queen was creative and they wrote good words – this vid is great.

The orchestra played on and on, on the Titanic – weren’t they brave and devoted to their mission!
On 15 April, the eight-member band, led by Wallace Hartley, had assembled in the first-class lounge in an effort to keep passengers calm and upbeat. Later they moved on to the forward half of the boat deck. The band continued playing, even when it became apparent the ship was going to sink, and all members perished.

This morning I came across a homeless person living on the doorstep of the ANZ in a provincial town.
That is the Roger Douglas Revolution.
Does that constitute a recommendation for ANZ? I was thinking of changing my bank.
Of course if Kiwibank was a true NZ citizens bank they might have special housing loans for public housing guaranteed by the Council. But I don’t think they do. do they?
This shit makes me real sad as does the death at the weekend of another child ,who no doubt was the innocent victim of another family falling apart We will not investigate what went wrong with that family nor will the man be allowed to bring it up at his trial because all effort must be made to make out he is just another mongrel male .However I would suggest we are seeing the symptom not the cause .
Poverty and deprevation along with manipulation would be the major causes of family violence of which there are 175k acts every year according to bomber .
I will be very supprised if there is not another shooting at an MSD office in the next 12 months as more and more people are treated as sub human .
