$850m lost in benefit fraud @CarmelSepuloni @_AAAP_ @MaramaDavidson @RMarchNZ @TaxpayersUnion

The estimates are based on the self-reported benefit fraud in the 2012 Chapple and Crichton paper which must be a minimum bound because you would expect at least some benefit fraudsters to be discreet in their dealings with government and the statistics bureau.

Computed from 2018 Budget papers, WINZ benefit data, Chapple and Crichton (2012), Chapple and Boston (2014). See too https://www.taxpayers.org.nz/benefit_sanctions

They must have had some good drugs back in the 80s; current 100m women’s record held by Florence Griffith-Joyner set in 1988

Her connection must be as good as any East German sports chemist. Marion Jones came close with 21.62 seconds in 1998 to Griffith-Joyner’s 200m record, which also still stands, before later admitting she had been doping.

That means that any decent high school boys athlete is faster than any woman who has ever lived by a good margin.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
