Rose Walker won't give you food from her foodbank if she thinks you are on drugs.
Her view is that if you are on drugs, you're also on your backside doing nothing to get work.
Therefore, why do you deserve the handout?
Her stance has polarised opinion - commentators on www.northernadvocate.co.nz have questioned Rose's right to make such a judgment. As has Kerikeri-based Green MP David Clendon, who says Rose is being "punitive" and "blaming".
Social Development Minister Paula Bennett has backed Rose, though. She says the Government expects people to be drug free and ready to work.
