    multi-agency

    govts are making it more complex?Is that what your saying?

    prelude to further state intervention.

    Why intervention?
    To make sure they are worthy of a house?
    I know some think they have the right to vet everything anyone else does especially if they rely on the state for anything. Its called being self righteous. That is the sort of opinion that needs to be ignored not glorified

    our social welfare institutions are being tasked with more complex situations at the same time institutions are becoming more risk averse –

    Just maybe more variables not adding much to the complexity and surely able enough to be coped with. Risk aversion probably played a greater part, what with accountants looking over your shoulder counting pennies.
    But FFS ages ago we got rid of monarchs when their unholy alliance with the church caused more suffering than they could hide.
    But what are we stuck with now, a satanic alliance between govt, business and the financial worlds? How much will they hide to make themselves look good? And how long will people have to put up with it?

    Theres one question I’d like to ask, but will never get an honest answer, from all those on the govt side during this debacle. They obviously mistakenly thought they were dealing with monkeys, the arrogance just drips off them.

    Andrew McKenzie needs to go for a start. He was/is earning $46000 a month . He is not morally fit to hold this job, judging by his behaviour

    The people involved have shut up and are using the johnkey tactic of hand waving it away, saying nothing to see here, move along please.
    They need to be made accountable.

    Andrew Mckenzie HNZ and a lot of people at HNZ and on Tenancy tribunals should be in fear of losing their jobs over this. Rightly so

    interpretation is always dictated by the Government

    ??WHAT?? So a law can be interpreted differently by a government? More like place themselves above the law.
    Drag these fuckers through court someone please!
    I was glad to see the back of the shonkey govt cause John took his idiot son with him when he went.
    But they all deserve to be dragged over hot coals just for this. Let alone all the other cock ups. Fucking seat warmers.

    , however inadequate that information may have been.

    Inadequate is a polite term to use for the cock ups that followed.
    They took advice from people who stood to profit from that advice being acted upon.
    There's a warning bell right there.
    Whoever it was should have gotten other views from more qualified people straight away.
