Good grief! Justice, and from a court, yet!

Posted on May 14, 2012 by KG

‘The Court of Appeal has thrown out an appeal by the Ministry of Health over payments for parents who care for their disabled children.
Parents caring for their disabled children do not receive payment for the work they do and in 2010 the Human Rights Review Tribunal ruled that a ministry policy to pay carers only if they were not related to the patient was discriminatory…’
It’s apparently perfectly ok for the taxpayer to foot the bill for injured drunks and thug’s medical treatment, to pay for feral assholes to sit on their butts all day smoking dope and abusing kids, but not ok to pay for parents who have a lot of extra expenses and have to spend vast amounts of time caring for disabled children…what a screwed set of priorities.

    I know a lot of folk with disabled kids- to a one they have a great lack of ‘Entitilitis’

    For me, I’m just grateful to have a relativly healthy and HAPPY child, when I see so many FAR worse off.

    Also, it really burns my ass to see so many BLUDGERS fucking up their vestigial brain with self-abuse OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL, when these kids are FUBAR through no fault of ANYONE!

    One of the problems is, bludgers form a large constituency, so politicians bend over backwards to avoid upsetting them, whereas these parents have a tiny voice and few people prepared to stand up for them.

      It is not only that KG.

      When you are looking after kids properly you are far too busy for whining and political lobbying.

      That is why normal family people get overlooked and the central city folk more or less control the conversation

    I would point out the left sees disabled children in the same light as unborn children,just an inconvience to be discarded at will :evil:

    I’m with Oswald in being grateful for having a happy and healthy child. Further, I feel deeply for family shouldering the burden of caring for a handicapped child. Some would call it a privilege not a burden but I’m not in that elevated category; it would break me. Good to see the genuine cases are to be looked after better but wait for the rorting to begin, now that a payment precedent has been set. Some swine will degrade this arrangement to become a welfare swill where, as usual, the really deserving cases do worst.

    Good, if the state can find money to pay scumbags and Lord knows there are plenty of ungrateful, worthless pustules out there living off welfare, they can find the money to pay these people.
