@Edgycoo You're right rather than feeding the people we should spend another 3 b on landlords that won't bring down rent. Maybe a few million on vanity projects like the TPB for further corporate exploitations on natural resources is money better spent.
ABSURD. 1) there shouldn’t be food banks in NZ in the first place 2) if they are short of money the govt needs to step up and fund them properly. The govt is essentially guilty of staving its people.
All my life food banks have existed for those struggling. I have stood in the line off K road Auckland a few times. Now i make small donations on a regular basis to NZ charities. In a modern just society every citizen should be able to take comfort that the government and the people of their country will provide the basic necessities of life for them when they need it. Every person regardless of their decisions or circumstances should know that ,housing and clothing, food, water, access to healthcare, education, and employment/ business ownership support will be there for them. No human asks to be born, but EVERY human born deserves to be able to live in dignity, comfort, and with support when needed.
@@logicalanswer3529 Owe? The role of the government is actually to provide a nation that enables its citizens to flourish by providing housing, jobs, hospitals and yes FOOD to ensure a country can thrive. What would happen in NZ if 50k plus people were left to famine to death? It's a small country. We would essentially become a third world country. Now before you imagine you could handle seeing dead bodies dead children on the streets have a gooooood think now, use your brain. If you personally access roads, hospitals, schools, teachers, public services of ANY capacity throughout your lifetime, that is the goverment owing you. Duh.
I CAN TELL YOU MANY WORKING FAMILIES ACTUALLY CAN’T. OUR DISABILITY COMMUNITY ARE IN DIRE STRAITS. OUR ELDERLY PAYING $400 RENT FROM A $489 PENSION ARE GOING WITHOUT. DARE YOU TO GO CHECK OUT WHAT’S HAPPENING. VOLUNTEER AT A FOOD BANK… LUXON DID!!@@logicalanswer3529
How ironic ! Dave Letele announced today that his Foodbank has been overwhelmed by public generosity , including 2 philanthripists who gave $100,000 each. Some other charities may be mixing in too much politics & corporate overhead with their charity.
The poor are just being greedy. This christmas the down trodden landlords can claim back billions in interest deductibles. That should give every one that christmas feeling.
@logicalanswer3529 exactly. Why can't poor people and the unemployed be happy that the rich are getting more rich like they deserve. It is just jealously right?
@@logicalanswer3529Those poor people willingly handed their money to the wealthy tobacco, alcohol and casino companies. Because those are the only reasons why they are poor right? They chose to rent, so landlords could have a passive income. That’s what they get, right? They should have had a lump of start up capital to begin with and opened businesses, where they could figure out ways to maximise their profit and bring their “running costs” down to a minimum? Disgusting peasants, right? Good for nothing? Should put the 12 hour work days in, right? They just don’t get the grind, do they? They just don’t have the vision? Is that what you think?
This is nothing unsurprising in terms of human history, in fact if you look at the people attending these food banks very few of them look like they’ve missed any dinners
Can't Mr luxon afford a few dollars to these food banks. I see he's just sold another few properties. Wow things are so tough under this government. I had to go to drop in doc today our doc was sick. It cost me 1hundred dollars that's with the community services card nearly had a heart attack on the spot 😂😂😂
@logicalanswer3529 I'm eighty three worked hard all my life I am accountable for my self thanks I was being sarcastic about Mr luxon. But still think I was better off under labour. Have a nice day
So cut funding to 'Tamahere' creating thousands more job losses just before xmas you reckon? Which part of the 'government will not fund food banks' did you just miss?
Grow veges, get a second job, spend within your weekly budget and not on the limit of it, pool your money, stop drinking smoking and wasting,. Things will improve i promise you,.
The government needs to put more money in the funding wheres the jobs in this country some people are getting turned away needing help for food single people and familys its disrespectful its a poor country
@@lyricallyunwaxable1234 At least the landlords won't have that problem even though rents won't decrease. When it comes to money mismanagement the govt takes first place, Dunedin/ Southland hospital, Ferries, lack of healthcare funding etc
@LisaPoihegatama It's sad m8. It's the push towards private healthcare and Kiwisaver will replace super. The US corporatised system of wealthcare not healthcare and where the dollar is your collar.

Rest of country going hungry too. Cost of living off the charts. Luxon remember the working poor
The working poor are expendable and Luxon doesn't care.
So for all those that can afford to feed themselves, is that because of Luxon as well? Can't have it both ways.
LUXON CAN’T REMEMBER HIS LAST PROFIT ON LAST HOUSE HE SOLD!!

Got a link to this claim?

Who is initially responsible for most people being poor? It is not other people's fault that they are in the situation they put themselves in.

Want food?
1. Give up drugs
2. Give up smoking
3. Give up alcohol
4. GIVE UP GAMBLING
Swapping the victimhood mentality for self-accountability would help as well.
I don't do any of them things and still find it hard!
1. Make tobacco illegal
2. Make alcohol illegal
3. Make gambling illegal
4. Make interest based transactions illegal.
But you want your cake and you want to eat it too.
@@jasonfrayyes. Life can be hard without those. But it gets harder with those😢
True
I like how the professional victims in the comment section blame "the government" and not their own lack of self-accountability.
Pre election promises vs post election promises kept. Which number is highest?
@@LisaPoihegatama What does that have to do with the self-accountability of professional victims?

a stirling job is when all charities don't run out.

When YOU stop buying 'made in China'.
