1. It was sad, but not at all surprising, to hear that people eligible for “affordable housing” in Special Housing Areas (SHA), could not find out how to get onto the waiting list/ballot.

   This issue needs greater investigation. How many people have accessed housing through this method? How transparent and scrutinised has the process of selection been?

   Maybe Penny Hulse can say how effective this solution has been.

3. Entrapment , social control, usury and blackmail of the poorest beneficiaries of New Zealand

   …so their entrapment forced debt will make them compliant to a jonkey nact state which abuses them and their rights and makes them less likely to protest for social and political change?

   This articulate highly intelligent precariat beneficiary calls them out

   ‘Battling WINZ to stop overpayments’

   http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/ninetonoon/audio/201808227/battling-winz-to-stop-overpayments

   “Work and Income figures on beneficiary debt show that $672 million is owed by people who were overpaid by accident, and have to pay it back. Rotorua beneficiary Bryce Sinclair has two part time jobs and his hours of work fluctuate from week to week, and therefore his income. Bryce declares this income to WINZ, but because of the way the system works, he’s found himself overpaid, and he and his wife now owe nearly 2 thousand 8 hundred dollars. He tells Kathryn Ryan that despite his best efforts, the debt has mounted, which he finds very stressful.”

   ( a new government of the Left should pledge to wipe this entrapment debt….and the same for tertiary students)
