Shes probably not thinking of living on it for the rest of her life..the dole is there for short term help and nothing more.
If people here think the dole should be the same as the money earned by those that get up every morning and go to work they are nuts.

I have been very critical of what everyone seems to be saying that she said.

Nobody mentioned that she didn't just come out with the statment but was directly asked the question which is a bit different.

Sure she got the answer wrong but it is substantilly different from her driving the point as the topics under discussion are making it look.

Macklin & Swan bagged the Howard Govt for the same reforms.

Labor have had just about 2 full terms in Govt, wasted squillions of dollars on lame brained schemes and now have finally found a bit of (short lived) fiscal responsibility in an election year? Huh

Ha, all this little stunt will do is drop Labor's primary vote (even more) as the welfare brigade defect to the even more fiscally irresponsible Greens....

Armchair_Politician wrote on Jan 2^nd, 2013 at 6:05am:

Macklin, who earns $903 a day, reckons she could live on the dole. She said this after moving 84,000 single mothers from a parenting payment to the dole, who now have to survive on just $35 a day. Those 84,000 single mothers now stand to lose about $230 per week. Her office then screwed up the release of the transcript of the interview, trying to edit out her comment that she could live off the dole, saying that a car engine made that portion of the interview "inaudible". Is she serious? What a fool!!! Even her own staff don't think she could live off the dole!!!

Macklin is not like phony tony then. Phony said he could not live on his wage as a senior opposition front bencher when the coalition got pawned. Now that's reality, is it?

Macklin reminds me of Marie Antoinette -

let them eat cake.

Marie had her head cut off by a guillotine.
