Dole - Tax's and Redundancy

So I want the Dole:

I have been a working man all my life, now I want some Government support.

There is an automatic one week stand-down before anyone gets the Dole in New Zealand. Why, who knows - and whoever who is - their logic sucks.

I'd like to tell the New Zealand Government NOT TO TAKE ANY TAXES from me for ONE week after I get employment, yeh right.

But I recieved redundancy from my last job - so the stand-down is an additional 10 weeks. I'd like to tell the New Zealand Labour Government NOT TO TAKE ANY TAXES from me for ELEVEN weeks after I get employment, yeh right.

I earn't holiday pay at my last job, 3 weeks in the final pay. So on top of the 11 weeks now there is another 3 weeks. I'm applying for the unemployment benefit and the Government agency is telling me to take a holiday????!!!!

I'd like to tell the New Zealand Labour Government NOT TO TAKE ANY TAXES from me for FOURTEEN weeks after I get employment, yeh right.

Child Support Insanity

So I'm redundant:

A major factor in this is my principle belief the Child Support formula in New Zealand sucks. I'd rather be on the dole paying the minimum $10.00 a week Child Support than:

If I work full time I have an additional tax on my income of $120.00 every week. Going to a women who, I would bet on it, is putting this directly into her savings account.

$120.00 come on: since this should be an equal contribution. On that basis $240.00 every week is being spent on a 10 year old child who is home-schooled!!. If I get the dole here, in New Zealand, I'll get $160.00 each week. How can the Labour Goverment tell me to live on $160.00 a week and give a woman who has never worked anywhere except on her back a budget of $240.00 a week for a 10 year old.

Where is the incentive or justice in that formula? Or is it all part of the big picture to casualise the labour force making men choose the dole and invite women to work part time.

In the Park

So, today I thought I'd go and have my burger king at the park.

What a wonderful park it is - at the Hamilton Gardens. Acres of lawns, thousands of trees and flowers.

With all those acres you would think the guy with the motorized lawnmower could find somewhere else to work while the only visitor to the area enjoyed their lunch. I am suspicious, do these places have supervisors hiding in the bushs with radio contact - "over there quick, look busy."

Despite the systems best efforts I had some great moments there. One was wondering about destiny, I think there is destiny - I watched a leaf fall to the ground; that leaf was destined to drop at that moment.
