“blames the Kahui Twins death on capitalism. You have to read it to believe it.”
Are you being ironic? Have you read some of the comments on this site about the causes of those babies death? For crazy look no further than timmy b at al’s riffs.
This “its something I don’t likes” fault arguement for individual cases like this is nuts all round.

And Tim B always has his own unique worldview which is well unique.

How about actual press releases from the Sensible Sentencing Trust, blaming the death of the Kahui twins on the welfare state?

Funny, but in generations past, children did not die in this manner because they lived in poor families. Poverty may cause childhood deaths in other ways, but not this. Call me cynical if you like, but the new “poor” don’t seem to have too much trouble purchasing drugs, drink or feeding the pokies. Wonder where their priorities lie and who is controlling our cash which is given them, ostensibly for living expenses? Has anybody done an analysis of just how many people were living in the Kahui house and just how much money from the state was being supplied each week to the household?
