what are your thoughts on the new work and income scheme?
I personally agree with John Key and the national party and i will be supporting them in the election. But however there are a few key factors that i do not agrre with for example: raising the pention age??? i see no point in this as I think the age is fine as it is and it is not going to help nz, only the money will but owhat about the elderly that cannot work and dont have retirement funds?
I am a single mother on the benefit and iam looking forward to seeing the response to this chat/discussion?
