This would be funny if it weren’t so terribly sad.

…this is beyond political party’s – every political party crucifies those on benefits – it’s as bad under Labour as it is under National – we are being wilfully cruel to the poorest members of our society and the hatred towards those on benefits allows it to occur totally unchallenged.

Every other political party in Parliament all say we have a housing crisis, even the Governments own allies – but National refuse to – why?

National will be hoping there is enough smoke in this years budget so that NZers can’t see the mirror, because voters may be disgusted by what the reflection shows them.

This is social policy spawned by spite and cruelty. We are actively punishing those whose plight and poverty offends our egalitarian pretensions. We are a country with all the maturity of a day old can of coke, so caught up in the false illusion of speculative property wealth, National voters have become wilfully ignorant to the desperation of their fellow citizens.
