MEDIAWATCH: Where the hell does Paula Bennett get off attacking State Tenants (again)
Where the Christ does Paula Bennett get off on attacking State Tenants (again)…
Kāinga Ora tenants who don’t deserve state homes should be evicted – Paula Bennett
It is all about your rights instead of acknowledging that you also have responsibilities.
It may be a small percentage of Kāinga Ora tenants that are making other people’s lives hell but those that are should be dealt with swiftly and in the best interest of others.
It is obvious that they should be evicted for the safety of neighbours but they should also be evicted because they don’t respect the property and there are plenty of others who will.
…Paula’s legacy is one of political puppetry and malice.
Her draconian attacks on welfare recipients was only possible because she herself had been a solo mother.
Paula was the ultimate political poacher turned game keeper.
She could push welfare eugenics because she could always cite her own experience as some sort of justification.
She released personal information to shame beneficiary critics and put into place a sanction regime that saw thousands go hungry.
Her most shameful moment in politics was her championing of throwing state tenants out onto the street for meth contamination in state housing.
Ignoring the scientific evidence and refusing to implement Housing NZs own policy. Paula sought headlines attacking state tenants whose houses tested positive, and enabled the needless spending of $120million to decontaminate houses that didn’t pose a health risk.
She threw thousands of beneficiaries onto the streets in the middle of a housing crisis.
Her ruthlessness masquerading as ‘I know best’ damaged NZs poor, she didn’t alleviate it.
After the enormous damage she has caused State Tenants, where the Christ does this sanctimonious hypocrite get off joyfully wanting more state tenants thrown onto the street.
She should not be allowed anywhere near the Auckland Mayoralty!

Paula as mayor could be death to democracy in Auckland. Critics or questioners of her, the council, or policy, would run the risk of having their privacy invaded and personal details planted in the media. She’s done it before, and she herself has said that she’d do it again. She could even follow in the Wellington mayor’s questionable footsteps and put a friendly lawyer onto differing councillor colleagues and shoot her mouth off about them publicly too.
Funnily enough, I was banned by that arse Slater. For beginning a comment with something like “Well the science actually shows that …” However unlike Newshub, I do not regard his existence as necessary for the function of a free society. Any more than Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, (thankfully now deceased) Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, or Nigel Farage.
Housing Minister Chris Bishop told a group of Wellington businesses that Kāinga Ora is not in a great state and that it sucks up an enormous amount of government money.
Moreover he thought community providers did a better job of providing wrap around support and unlocking new homes.
However, instead of announcing improvements for Kāinga Ora, he wants to open the sector up to more community providers.
And unlike Kāinga Ora, Home and Place (a community provider) will evict tenants if it has to.
Bishop is going to sell our assets they did this last time they don’t want to be landlords for the poor and some unruly so they will sell our state housing yet another transfer of wealth to a private company this is not right and every time they get in power they reduce the pool of social housing.
Mr Bradbury. More of your ad hominem attacks. Slaver and spittle. Ms Bennett is advocating that people who won’t behave in a way that has some respect for the taxpayers who pay for their accommodation should face the consequences. Only a far left rabid left winger could possibly disagree, but of course that’s not you is it?
Graeme. She has no standing in this matter. She’s just another estate agent, maybe radio hack, ex-
pollie. She had her chance and now it’s time to zip it.
Hey Graeme. Are you able to articulate an argument for evicting state tenants other than it makes me feel bad?
We have difficult people in society and the private sector will not provide accommodation for them so you want them living on the streets instead? That is my conclusion from you comment, if you want people to face the consequences of their actions the alcohol industry would be a good place to start, just because it is legal does not make it morally acceptable for it to profit from the suffering of others.
never a truer word said .Expel all booze and fag shops and solve two problems .The health system would be better off and over population would be reduced dramaticly and crime would drop by 80%
Fuck Pull the benefit she got all the entitlements and then cut them for others struggling and trying to climb the ladder she is one nasty piece of right wing trollop
There are very, very good reasons why Paula Bennett should be sentenced (legally and with due process) to a reeducation camp until she either stops trying to kill the poor or at the very least pays back the benefit fraud she committed at credit-card interest rates.
An individual as feral as Paula Bennett has no business commenting on anyone’s behaviour Graeme
Coming from a far rabid right winger like yourself Graeme, I’d suggest we take anything you take with a grain of salt, unless of course you’ve nestled up snug and tight with Paula one night.
Bennett could have survived without a benefit or state house as she had a partner/boyfriend/lover with whomm\ she had a baby when she was in her teens – well probably him and she worked as a ‘Truck Stop Waitress’ .. She will go down … wait please… in history as one of the foremost Benefit Bludgers ever. She excelled at th art of ‘bludgery’ like nobody else bfore or since – althogh it is now possible there is another contender for the title – Chris Luxon, entitled leader of the National Party and erstwile PM.
