SOLO NZ Press Release:

The "Rights" of Beneficiaries

Although one lady has already realised that her little gesture actually did little to compromise her security at all, the other is still unrepentant, says SOLO spokesman Callum McPetrie

"What she, the public and the MSM are forgetting is that the lady in question is a beneficiary - she lives off public money that has been forcibly extracted from taxpayers. So, the taxpayer has the right to know about it!

"I suggest something like this, to be available online free of charge, for every beneficiary:

name
sex
age
marital status
no. children
which benefit they're receiving
benefit income per month
other income per month (this could be family income for stay-home mothers)
how long they've been receiving government funds.

"This would not apply to pensioners, or children under the age of 18. Once an individual has stopped receiving government benefits, his/her information would be removed from public access. Although the information will allow taxpayers to see how their money is being spent, it will not compromise the security of the beneficiaries. The database will not include money for tax rebates.

"Civil servants will be put on the database, but teachers, principals, doctors, nurses etc., will not. A separate database could exist for companies and organisations that have received government funds, and why.

"Any beneficiary complaining about the new system will be told that he/she is receiving public funds; taxpayers have the right to know whom they're paying for, and make decisions accordingly."
