Youthline set to close due to lack of funding:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/we...-can-be-raised This is in the context of CYF apparently failing. Which is unsurprising because children are the most impacted by the closing of these community services (for example, the resulting unwanted pregnancies that could be avoided.) My wondering is, is National aware of the impact of letting these low cost, high value services fail? If so, what are they hoping to gain? Cheap, unskilled labour? An increase in criminality to justify more policing and state control? If not, how can they be so ignorant? What has so captured their attention that they're missing this?

My summary isn't accurate. A Youthline service is about to close, Youthline itself will remain running.

This is a private organisation deciding whether or not to cancel one of its services based on its own revenues, right? WTF does this have to do with the government?
|
28th April 2016, 14:02 | #4411 |
|
Community health is a responsibility of the government. Under National we are seeing a general collapse in both public and private community health services.

So the fact that Youthline even exists is the problem?

It's the general context of the devaluing of community health that's the problem. It's both causing such services to struggle to get the funding they need, which degrades the quality of the services, which in turn generates more need for such services. It's a vicious feedback loop we're only seeing the very beginning of.

Campbell talking to poor people about poor people in a poor people area. He know's he's on a gravy train which is why 80% of his stories from Campbell Live and now this are sob stories. How about we check some figures. Don Place was in the background there, which is in meshblock 0706600. For meshblock 0706600 (30 households in total): Average residents per household in 2001 Census - 4Sure, the data is 3 years old, sure it's a very specific and low number example - but not a lot has changed in 12 years between censuses, I doubt it's changed much more in the past 3 years. |

I see your point about a small sample size but I do think that a lot has changed in the Auckland housing market over the past few years.

Is there one for rents? I mean, even in 2011 poor people generally didn't expect to own houses in the short term.

Though I'm pretty sure this is only private rentals and also I reckon supply of rentals (incl. state houses) would be a significant factor here too. Hearing reports from those on the front-line about what's going on makes for some depressing reading.

Yeah, like a well used car that's been left unserviced needs an overhaul.

And no, it was not a worsening problem under Labour. At the end of Labour's government thriving community health services were really starting to get underway. National pulled the rug out from all of that. Exactly how they're juggling the funding is not clear, but it is clear that the kinds of services that would support people in making better choices with their lives are struggling to the point of collapse.

Ah right, so it's National's fault after all. You'd better write a letter to your MP.

Yes, the worsening community health situation is National's fault. This is "National Thus Far". Their policies have undermined community health in NZ and NZ is facing the consequences.

No, income hasn't doubled, the income needed to live in a house has doubled.
