so anytime anyone
incurs a debt they probably can't / won't pay back
it should be written-off?
doubt that'll work
doubt methadone programs + gov. sponsored crack + tinny houses will work either
but some say they have merithave you defeated them?

I think the fact she has 8 kids will get her far too much sympathy - plus who would admit to smoking P? Either way taking that much money from WINZ is just insane - even with 8 Kids one partner could at least work part time...surely...
"The Mangere woman, aged 28, has been put up in motels with her partner, 30, and eight children aged from 5 months up to 11 years for the past 10 months." So while they have been in this situation they decided to have more kids...
Maybe we should adopt China's philosophy of limiting kids you can have!!Finance Broker - www.creditone.co.nz

All I am really saying is there is more to the story than is shown by the simplistic reporting we have in NZ.

We only need to limit the number of children to 'some' people but that would be very very tricky.
Most people are sensible and limit the number of children they have to what they can afford.
Some don't care (or don't know better or something) and, so long as the state will pick them up, will continue to do irresponsible things.

WINZ has been really irresponsible in letting her rack up such a debt, knowing that she'll never be able to repay it. Once you're kickedout of state housing, that should be it - no more govt intervention housing for you.
As for the partner - why should he slave in back-breaking work when he can live in hotel cushiness for nothing? They'll eventually have to start paying back $5 per week, but in the meantime they've got free electricity, Sky TV.....the works. Great deal for them.My blog. From personal experience.

I understand this may be sensitive to some people and is slightly stereotypical(born from common truths) and I mean no offense.Finance Broker - www.creditone.co.nz

On a side note, I'm unsure how easy it would be for her to find a home for all her 8 kids and partner!www.PropertyMinder.co.nz

If she really has polluted several homes already and HNZ won't take her why would anyone else?
As I say - more to this than meets the eye!

A bit of a simplistic view really - the stuff of our reporters.
Like the stat that said 1/3 of building inspections failed then drew the conclusion it was due to 'shoddy workmanship'.
I had an inspection fail because I needed to fit a non-return valve so you couldn't draw water back up the shower rose if you put it in the toilet.
Nothing to do with workmanship.
