I would vote for Brian Tamaki if he was going up for election otherwise i wont vote at all and just hope and pray you people do the right thing, Kevin Rudd sounds promising</description>

		<description>Yeah, bring it on National.  They have made it clear they will sock it to deadbeat dads and have no intention of making the dishonest child support (read spousal support) system fairer or better for father-child relationships.  They supported the looney Bradford Bill and have no interest in repealing it.  They promise to spend tens of millions on unnecessarily prolonged Herceptin treatment allowing many other people to die because their drugs were not funded, simply because this will court the women's vote.  They have not yet announced a single male-friendly policy and have shown no awareness or interest in men's issues or welfare.  While National might come up with the odd policy that deserves support, you can be sure men won't be in the slightest bit relieved from their distress and enslavement under this self-interested National lineup if it becomes government.  

Beneficiary bashing policies will do nothing to keep families together, it will simply make life more difficult for the current victims of the unfortunate family-destroying fashion promoted by government policy.  National have not announced any policy that will reduce the easy availability of the DPB in the first place.  This entices people to become pregnant in the absence of any secure relationship or nest and to trash their children's family units when the going gets tough rather than to maintain loyalty and commitment.  National's recourse to tired old "make life harder for beneficiaries" policies shows it has no understanding of the ways government has been damaging our society.</description>

		<description>He knows too that he is one of the lucky New Zealanders who has hoards of money put aside for a rainy day.If he is unfortunate enough to suffer an illness like cancer,he won't need to apply for a sickness or a disability benefit to survive.
'To hell with the rest of them' is his motto.
I think he expects people who are unwell to work until the day they die.</description>

		<description>Hi Hadi
You said you're with National.
Do you really believe everything that John Key says?
He said his family had it tough after his father died but what he didn't say was that his parents were seperated when his father died.His mother was a solo parent who would have been on the DPB too had it been around in those days.
Now our John likes to think that he is somewhat superior to other 'kids' who were raised on benefits.</description>

		<description>Hi Jim, thats right, and i dont want to sound judgemental but it is mainly woman that are at home on the dpb and once their youngest starts school they will go out and fuck some other poor mans life and drag another poor little baby into the world just so they can lie around and get paid for it</description>

		<description>Hadi,
There is a place for benifits - However I agree if one can work - One should - There are many one the DPB that can work - My Sons Mother has managed to get the DPB from his birth till now and he is very near 13 - She is so sick she can walk from Beach Haven to Highbury and back most days - While I work 3 hours a day - Come home stuffed most days due to Heart and reflux hassles and have Equal Parented my Son most of that time with NO help from WINZ 

Many a benefit is about supporting Women not Children and certainly NOT Men

Men are so arrogant as a bunch they have not the forsight or guts to stand for those needing help and apposing those who don't

Onward
Ration Shed - Jim</description>
