Going to work is a very dangerous business. This is PROVEN by the high numbers of NZers who die while at work each year.
How many NZers died from acts of terrorism in NZ last year?
Talk about headless chookism....if you want to remain safe from dying, you'd be better off chucking your job in and going on the dole than worrying about terrorism.
Statistically, its certainly much safer being a dole recipient than going to work.
NZDF needs these opportunities though to gain experience and retain staff that would otherwise be bored just sitting at home in NZ just doing training.
