On the question of double dipping, this is the established practice for the entire civil service. Does NIB just pay out money without verifying entitlement and does the employer (Government) contribute to NIB and then allow the employee to collect the employer's contribution? NIB came into effect just after mid-1976, and 37 years of this doube dipping by civil servants and Government Corporations means that we coud probably make a large dent in the public debt IF there was a way to recoup. (We could dream.)
This comment is encouraging, not only for the clarity of thought, but also because it expresses in just a few words the blatant hypocrisy of the holder of the office of Attorney General. She is truly a member of the club of politicians who believe that if they cover their eyes, they cannot be seen by anyone.
