I receive an editorial called Frankly Speaking as below...Had to share this one, as it is very insightful. Makes you think and wonder about our future. Ive lost two of my kids, how many more of our countries young future will be lost. PLEASE READ.... _____________________________________________________________ Frankly Speaking... (comment-reply@wordpress) 30/11/2013 To: susan.isemonger@hotmail I ran a blog called Aotearoawolfing, but stopped posting after I ran out of things to say. Obviously I did it anonymously, as like everyone I have things to hide i.e. my life off the internet. Basically have left New Zealand for good to the United States (where I also have citizenship – though my family live here). I got out while I still could. In my case I was depressed and I could no longer could work at my job like I used to, and I couldn’t get a job again at a decent wage. By the time I got through the W&I process I had full-scale clinical depression. No support exists, and the whole experience made me think the sole focus of W&I right now is make young people homeless (which aren’t counted on unemployment statistics) or force the burden of care onto the family. Hopefully National gets turfed out next election, but if it doesn’t then I am no longer in New Zealand – even if I have to pay off a big student loan with interest (no thanks to the cut to the student loan holiday while overseas). But on that story, most don’t pay it off as John Key has no jurisdiction in places like Canada or the US – only in Australia. In fact most never want to go back to New Zealand, John Key threatening them with prison if they return will only ensure that the best and brightest never return. Really I don’t understand the government’s paranoid obsession about the unemployed, and student loan borrowers. As the reason there is a shortfall in the budget is due to stagnant wage growth, the richest 10% avoiding tax, and everyone with qualifications leaving the country as they can’t get work in New Zealand. It is the worst crisis since the 1980s-1990s and the government isn’t doing anything to fix it. Hope I didn’t go on too long, hopefully I can find the time to start blogging again – even if it is from the other side of the world. .
