    Since the election and the COC of NATACTNZF we have seen a real crackdown on the gangs, multiple events happening in the last couple of weeks, about time something was done as these guys have been riding roughshod over society for years. Keep up the good work NATACTNZF.

    So now the West Bank (not controlled by Hamas) is getting the same treatment from the IDF.

    Disabled now have to commit crime, be insane or in crisis to access residential care

    Arbitrary funding freeze by Upston means no new places in residential care for disabled people, effectively denying placements for all but the most acutely unwell, criminal or homeless

    Upston says she’s ‘ripping the scab’ off funding mess

    Whaikaha, the Ministry of Disabled People, has quietly told parents and carers of severely disabled people living with them that there will be no more places in residential care in the current financial year. The abrupt funding halt means the only hope disabled people currently living with carers have of being considered for residential care is to commit a crime or be so mentally or physically unwell they have been hospitalised and can no longer be cared for at home, or are facing completely-out-on-the-street homelessness.

      Upston a true apostate on morality, specifically Christian. That said, I feel many people of other faiths would see, that the shoe fits. I'm sure even many atheists and agnostics, are more than uncomfortable, with the rather vile – punching down towards the poor .

    Correct $2.9 Billion in Tax Cuts for Landlords then activate cuts to essential services ie health sector, police, disabled persons, who else can they deal to.

    For Shane Jones and all the muppets that live for his raw meat.

    Typhoon Shanshan smashes into Japan, and why it got so big, so fast.
