It has been reported in the MSM that the Speddings receive Government assistance and that Spedding has legal aid.
He works as a washing machine repairer so I guess he does not earn much from that or it is all cash money. He also had a pawn broking business and would have had to pay rent for that room he had. Do they own that house or are they renting it? It looks like a very nice house. They would have been receiving money as foster parents so now that income has stopped. Also he could have been earning cash money from the pedo ring if he rented children out, took photos and videos, etc.
One of the questions they ask in order to get legal aid is this:

Are you receiving a Centrelink income support payment?
Are you receiving the * maximum rate of one of the following Centrelink income support payments?
Parenting Payment (single)
Age Pension
Wife Pension
Carer Payment
Disability Support Pension
Newstart Allowance
Youth Allowance
Austudy Payment
ABSTUDY Scheme Payments
Widow B Pension
Widow Allowance
Sickness Allowance
Special Benefit
Partner Allowance
Mature Age Allowance
So what government benefit would they be receiving? I know nothing about government benefits.
Spedding is 63yo but I do not know her age but he is not retirement age.
I really begrudge people like them receiving government assistance. Does anyone else feel like that?
From what the magistrate said, it does not look as if BS will be coming back to their Bonny Hills home any time soon. So MS will have to pack and find somewhere else to live as she would not want to live there alone now with all the publicity that has gone on. Perhaps she will move to live with Rodney and Amy Spedding.
I also noticed that BS was working in Wellington until a few years ago in his Speddo's business and the MSM said he had sold the business two years ago to move to be with his wife and family. Were Margaret and he living apart then? Also whose children were they looking after? Rodney and Amy's? No, I think it was MS' grandchildren. So what were the parents doing? Are the children back with their parents now?
I have so many questions.
