Please remember that at any time you could become dependant on a benefit. You do not know when your husband might die of illness or an accident. You don’t know when you might have illness or accident in the family so need to go onto a sickness benefit. With the way the econony is going how secure is your job? Could you end up on the unemployment benefit? Any of these could effect you. Please help fight this bill for the beneficiaries.

In 1877 New Zealanders lost the freedom to educate our children at home without applying for permission. Our forefathers let us down by not standing up for their rights.

In 2013, will we be the generation that begins to lose the freedom to preschool our own children, to make our own decisions about health care, or to invest our time in our families above a job?

We say NO  

Let us protect the children of Beneficiaries

Because this could extend to ALL children

if this passes

 SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE
