This as the new hard right racist climate deny8ing beneficiary bashing Government send people for food packages to agencies that aren;t even funded by the Government!
Government agencies referring people in need to unfunded foodbank The Kindness Collective
A foodbank says Government agencies like police and health agencies have been asking people needing support to get it from them – despite not being funded.
The Kindness Collective spent $42,000 on groceries in just one month to support thousands of struggling Kiwis.
Last week they helped 2256 people receive essentials.
The Kindness Collective chief executive and founder Sarah Page told AM the number of those needing help changes each week, but there’s been “a really massive spike in need” in the past year.
“We’re funded by the generosity of the community,” she said, adding that individuals and businesses like The Warehouse and Tegel keep them running.
“We don’t receive a dollar of Government funding and we’re supporting multiple Government agencies every day.
“We’re receiving referrals every single day from the New Zealand Police, or Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand), different hospitals, health boards, Oranga Tamariki (The Ministry for Children), Corrections even, Kāinga Ora – lots of social services.”
…as this Government attacks workers rights, renter rights, Māori rights, Environmental rights and cuts disability funding by $2300 per year, pushes 13000 kids into poverty and take food from the mouths of hungry children to fund a $2.9billion tax break for the richest landlords and an unaffordable $16billion tax cut, they make sure there are jobs for their mates…
…nothing sums things up better than Christopher Bishop getting his hatchet team cray fish to ‘celebrate’…
…Jobs and crayfish for them!
Austerity for us!

Very telling graph.
Yes….and how staged was that photo!!!… shameless propaganda !!!
My god Grant, yes for the love of god I hope so because look at the grip of Luthers handshake. We have to hope like hell that was photoshopped or is this just Luthers idea of male dominance.
yep why would those nurses be thanking him for .They got 40% increases under last government and now the skin head gang leader wants it back ,so look out ladies this time next year you wont be smiling at him .
Grant He does what his media advisor tells him to. This is the celib culture mentality; the hand shakers look like immigrants, here hoping it’ll be better than what they left behind. Nauseating shameless bastard.
For over a year, on the comments section of this site, I have been warning that this would happen. And still people like the traitor Anker, still voted for them, even though they resent every single cent paid to these workers.
Under Labour, workers in this country got the biggest improvement to pay in the past 30 years. Year after year, they got payrises, holidays, sick leave and more protections than you could shake a stick at.
Hey but look on the bright side Millsy. All those old dears can “navigate their government” because they don’t have any of those Māori names. Also smoking will be less expensive so, shit everyone’s a winner.
Sadly many only remember mandates and the few who saw there liberty threatened. When in fact border closures and Mandates saved thousands
As wage subsidies etc saved many businesses.
Minimum wage increases and much more all forgotten . Now we have massive cuts that hurt the vulnerable and the heartless
Right just marches on.
Yes Millsy Labour did well in those pay rises u mention f workers. Tick. BUT they are out of govt because they refuse to listen to the electroate on a variety of policy failure’s.
Those policied benefited society as a whole and were good for well being, whereas all you cared about is your investment portfolio.
Is this lot listening to the electorate?
Do they have any policy that isn’t just repealing what Labour did and being cruel to the poorest and most vulnerable, to save money for tax-cuts for those who don’t need handouts.
They aren’t very aspirational. Luxon loves to hit the high spots, photo ops shaking hands, but he’s got no real policy or leadership talents. Too busy ingratiating himself and kowtowing to Seymour and Winston.
I’d like to know how many retail businesses owners voted for this rancid government, why cause they have bit the hand that’s feeds them loss of business due to loss of jobs.
Hope they all go broke ,ungreatfull fuckers.
