Maybe you all shouldn't worry about the lies the government tells to the media and just make sure you are employed.
The government lies and the government steals and the government wastes your tax money, this is not news it is just a fact.
Nothing you can do about it
Not easy, when the Govt LIES about the figures to make those who are unemployed look bad.
Which sounds better.....??
a)- That there are plenty of jobs, but the unemployed won't take them. These people need to be
FORCED to work. (Patently a lie, but used as justification to further penalise the
unemployed. Widely believed by a basically ignorant public).
or...
b)- There are not the number of jobs available that is claimed, most that are, are either part-time
or casual. Most in service industries eg Maccas, Hungry Jack's etc. Numbers of REAL unemployed
are climbing steadily, but we'll hide those figures. And we'll continue to refuse to acknowledge
that we do NOT give the unemployed enough to survive on, and will vilify them at every
opportunity. (FAR closer to the truth).
Vilifying and penalising people for being unemployed (for ANY reason) MUST be stopped NOW, preferably by LAW.
And the LAW MUST BE CHANGED to place unemployment benefits ON PARITY with pensions. And it MUST be done NOW.
Also, it MUST be made ILLEGAL to vilify or discriminate against ANY unemployed person.
BTW: - I also have a job, but will continue to support the unemployed. Someone has to go in to bat
for them, and I don't see too many of YOU stepping up to the crease.
