404: The past you referenced does not exist
The reason might be:
– This past does not exist in the hubristic version required
– This past is electorally out-dated and has been removed
– The address (HNZ) is not correct

Housing Minister Phil Heatley was unavailable for comment today but he was quoted by local media as saying the changes were a part of a shift away from a "state house for life" housing policy, towards a new system designed to ensure those struggling the greatest were?

A patchwork of voluntary bodies, raising funds from donations, trusts and philanthropists, fill the gap. Heatley says many of these organisations are "better placed" to holistically support the homeless than his department, Housing New Zealand, and suggests these faith-based groups "would?

Snap! What Giovanni linked to...

"Faith-based groups" are often wonderful, but let's consider for a second the wisdom of offloading our social safety net onto groups whose "core business" is so open to wildly varying interpretations.

Not to mention their roles as 'safety net' only exist as a result of societal failures. When giving a?

this is simply not good enough

*please note my values are from a more people friendly recent past

This is just nasty.

I don't know about the "only". "Usually", sure. But I suspect that even in the best of all possible societies there would always be corner cases (by which I mean "people") who hit the?

So how does this give those struggling the greatest priority, exactly?

(And to descend to the trivial for a?

Which is no doubt why WINZ insist on land lines. A friend up North has this difficulty. He must be available for work ,therefore a landline apparently. Landlines can cost over?

So will the rents be market rents? They will have to be, and the argument will be, "necessary to get best value for all the houses being sold."

As with Christchurch.
Has anybody else noticed how Fletchers shares have been bouncing around lately? An acquaintance told me gleefully a few weeks back that I should get some o? them thar shares, said they'd be sweet pickin?s in a few days.?

Nobody pays to make 0800 calls in NZ but the organisation you're calling pays to receive them.
Some companies do indeed block mobiles from calling their 0800 number (mobiles are luxury items, remember, not low-cost options for those that?

perhaps "holystic" then?

Perhaps replace the 't' with a 'k' at the end of 'holysic' ? I know a lot of good stuff is done by religious organisations but the underlying ethos is always the same.

For some low-income people mobiles are definitely cheaper as they have no line rental attached (say a pre-pay mobile user). For the half the cost of a land line?

My apologies – dryness doesn't always translate. I shall use more smiley faces. ;-)

Sorry not to pick it up – I've just heard people earnestly express this view before and my brain isn't the sharpest by 4pm.

Aw, I knew what you were saying.

My apologies ? dryness doesn?t always translate. I shall use more smiley faces. ;-)

But that's like putting a "satire" straphead on a satirical column :-)

We all have to find other places to talk about it. Preferably with people who are kinda on the fence, never thought about things, blah blah. And then?

I got ya. Sad too is an email gets completely ignored and I remember that I am supposed to get a response within 3 weeks . Still waiting to hear from Judith Collins. This Government just ignores?

__"And worse, this deliberate diversion of abuse was in relation to a link on the thread to a sickening, disgraceful image relating to children that I spoke up?

What would be the Left?s equivalent of?

yes

Sorry Hebe ,that page doesn't exist. For this lack of empathy is so cold They must have always had help. How both of them?

If there's only one term to describe them right now... it'd have to be 'goalpost shifters'.

Yes. I believe the Tories' agenda is, and has been since Key came to power, the systematic dismantling of the welfare state and sale of New Zealanders' family silver to the highest bidder. They spent the first term scoping and setting up the frameworks; this term was always?

Right, I was thinking about this comment last night. This is a feeling that I have had myself. I wanted to come up with something more in response.

Morgan, we've never met, but I've followed you online for a while and you're clever,?

Ian, did you see this? What do you make of it?

– Mum & dad investors
– Child poverty ? so far it?s caused a few ripples on DimPost
– Holiday Highways
– Post-quake Christchurch

And?

Welcome aboard, do advise when you are shifted down and settled in, and perhaps we can extend some local hospitality?

Most have. Unfortunate that The Press did not get someone with a longer memory than 20 years to write the piece and analyse why the city is what it is. Factually, the piece has some major flaws, attributable to using not enough sources (David Close?

Heh. Latest entries are:

November 27 [1989:] TV3 transmission starts.
December 10 [1989:] Sunday trading begins in Christchurch.

That will be something to look forward to — the knowledge that there is a crew of congenial people in Chch was a considerable influence on my?

I'd describe the churchyard but fear I might misspell the descriptor...

I don't want to pop your bubble, but Ministers have to respond, even if it's just a form letter as your note shows. I fired off emails to McCully and?

But although I know all that, I don't get any response by Collins, Tolley and I had JK say we are passing your mail on to someone else who I said I had also sent one to and explained why I included?

Chch Central MP Tim Barnett promised to bring it to Consumer Affairs Minister Judith Tizard's attention. And the Minister did absolutely nothing.

Wow – that is just amamzing – but seeing how the trade union movement has been involved in loans to members laqrgely as a supplemental?

There is no certainty and the economic leadership (for want of a better word) is absent – you can see it?

Yes, like our elderly often like someone to deal with. :(
