Why Oh why can’t the RWC be like the Wellington 7’s which even non-rugby players can enjoy?
oh but everyone in wellington hates the 7s, didn't you know that ;)

Being a “rugby person” in this country still comes with a lot of baggage, just as not being a rugby person does.
it really doesn't.
i think there is a great perception that it does and for some people it might, but really no it does not. I think saying that is equivalent of saying all beneficiaries are bludgers -
Tom you are officially my RWC hero
and i think the object Tom is referring to is a good symbol of what is wrong with some aspects of RWC and why it grates on people.BUT
The snow falling in Wellington made me realise something. you can look at the bad side of things, ice, cold, slush, unable to walk/drive, or you can sit back and enjoy the magic. I like enjoying the magic. So yes i am getting all pollyanna over this event, and am going to squeeze out every inch of free fun i can.

if anyone wants to rent my house in wellington, for the duration so i can live in rarotonga, for a month drop me a line.
No price gouging i just need my accommodation and cocktail costs covered ;)

We can’t anywhere to stay that isn’t angling to price gouge to the max.
I have some friends who are going to the game & booked accommodation super early, they are not paying anything unreasonable. But they got in super early.
and it's Ireland, in Dunedin. That's a popular game. So everywhere in Dunedin is booked out that weekend, so what little left is the tacky price gougers.
So maybe don't blame the entire hospitably sector becuase I'm not sure they are trying to rip everyone off.

maybe national should go all the way and simply categorise beneficiaries as
- deserving poor
or
- undeserving poor
http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=EP19070730.I thought all this rubbished got fixed al long long time ago, first slowly by sneddon and then comprehensively by Michael Joseph savage. In the 1940s living standards in nz were some of the highest in the world which was when everyone had an aha moment and realised treating the poor as second class citizens didn't work

Hard News: Is that it?, in reply to John Farrell,
Bernard Hickey is calling for National to be consistent, and extend the approach to pensioners.
well that can't happen , senior citizens are better than beneficiaries
for example if you go to the winz office senior citizens sit in a separate waiting area, with nice seats and a table and a few pot plants. If a beneficiary dare sit there security moves them away

I would like to see some more support for getting bills paid directly out of the benefit not just for teens.
Are you also advocating for everyone in employment having their bills go out of their pay packet , becuase there are loads of people in paid work who can't budget. Being on a benefit does not mean you are unable to pay your bills or unable to budget or unable to control money.
The vast silent (law abiding) majority of beneficiaries, pay their bills, don't get into trouble and try to get work, or get well.
the answer is to get to find out why people can't seem to pay their bills. If it was simply due to lack of budgeting well that would be easy to resolve.
