The call from Auckland Action Against Poverty for lawyers to help thousands
of beneficiaries in debt to Work and Income (Beneficiaries appeal
debts, May 25) shines a new light on our Prime Minister’s statements on the
dire need for homes for the homeless, and his plans for 26 hotels to house the
rich.
On the day he flew to Paris for his daughter’s graduation he said, “There
have always been homeless people.” And he has advice for these homeless people,
too. "Let them go to Winz."
His utterances are becoming increasingly reminiscent of the late,
unlamented Queen Marie-Antoinette, who said in regard to her subjects who lacked
bread, "Let them eat cake".
I look forward to next year’s elections in the hope that like hers, heads
will roll.
