And 83 per cent of those households now rely on welfare payments for income.

The greatest unemployment rate was recorded among new arrivals from Iraq and Afghanistan, with less than one in 10 finding full-time work and 93.7 per cent of households receiving Centrelink payments.

How rewarding for the Australain taxpayer. Up at 5:30am and into the shower. Breakfast at 5:50am and you have to rush it down because the bus leaves at 6:06am. A slow trip to the city on the train as the pungent sour melange of garlic, BO, musty woolen coat, and beer breath assaults your nose. All for what? To get ahead?

What a joy it is to be a slave.

The ALP, the progressive party, the party of ideas, the workers' friend, is the only Australian political party to roast four young Australians in roof cavities. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

They eat anything y'know and put on weight so well. And then there's this ready availability of goat herders a syou point out. Best roast I ever had was goat, a feral one at that.

God knows, there are plenty of them.
