The jobs people have just left to go to another.
The jobs where people have been dismissed.
The jobs where they are still accepting applicants, but haven't begun interviewing yet.
The newly created jobs.
The jobs where they haven't found anybody yet.
The jobs in crap locations.

The jobs vacant figure is only snapshot of the jobs market - it doesn't mean that these positions are newly created, have been vacant for any extended period or are open to those without specialised skills.

Have a look at them.

Mostly casual and part time, not suitable for a person that has to support a family.

Jim's mowing, mystery shopper, catalogue delivery (you'd have to literally work 24/7 to pay half the rent) many of the advertised jobs are actual scams where you sign up and pay money up front.

Then we have the four hours a week positions, the must have four years experience, the skilled positions, junior positions.

Now, how many manufacturing jobs for middle aged men?

How many jobs for ex public servants? they don't have much skill in the private sector.

That probably leaves 1,000 jobs for 700,000 job seekers.

Unemployment is a major issue........bigger than boat people even.

I personally know 5 people who are dole bludgers who do not want a job. I pay the equivalent of one married couples aged pension a year in income tax. I believe the 5 who do not want to work are stealing money from aged pensioners and I am disgusted by there greed!

Why are there 150,000 jobs vacant if everybody wants to work?

Point well missed.

Why are the 550,000 who don't get the jobs all bludgers?

Real facts, not hearsay, speculation or anecdotes.

Come on....

Good one, maggots!

Make their miserable existence even worse.

How unutterably petty and mean-minded.

But, Oh!, so typically conservative.

You are a GRUB, Abbott!!!

It is so simple for the recipients of the dole to benefit from this, tell them to get a smacking job!!! It is that simple. Get the lazy bastards working and we will ALL pay less tax.

150,000 jobs.

700,000 unemployed.

Yeah, bugger, they're all lazy bludgers.

And you're a smacking idiot if you believe it.

What's the job you would like to do but can't find?

I'm quite happy with the one I have, thanks.

I wouldn't expect anything else from the coalition.

The $1.1 billion saving will be put to good use, maybe to help struggling Christian schools, the church, banks, community advertising to tell us to cross the road at the crossing or we might get hit by a car, or maybe even AFL, after all, our national sport can never have enough stadiums.

well thats exactly what I am voting for so that suits me.. Cheesy

We know.

We're not surprised.

Bemused, yes, and disgusted, yes.

But not surprised at all.

You are a typical selfish, vindictive conservative.

Its a fvcken outrage isnt it, $105 bucks twice a year the dole bludgers will miss out on.

If these people want an extra $105 twice a year they could probably earn more in 2 days work with the minimum wage at over $15 per hour.

The dole was never meant to be a lifestyle choice, if you want more money get a job.

They only give the dole to losers with less than 3k in the bank, i would not qualify for the dole if i lost my job.

I'd say for you to come back when you have something worthwhile to contribute, but then we'd never see you again.

Oh - when did the government get $1.1bn out of the mining industry? Grin

Ha ha - I qualified for the dole as a 'loser' - I had the company go broke syndrome, followed by the 'you're too old' bullshit we get these days, followed by 'no room at the inn for MEN these days' crap, and so on ad nauseum - I was bust because I spent all my remaining money, including superannuation, on bills only to be driven into a corner by never-ending costs added to those when I was bust - after years of paying everything off early.

Talk about the running of the bills!

I should have spent all my remaining money on booze, women, holidays and lotto tickets... then told 'em I had no money anyway....

I guess all those eighteen hour days on call etc, and the woeful 'management' that has ruined this country makes me a 'loser' to some morons!

Now - why am I here - and in other places - again - as the permanent opposition to any and all government idiocy these days and stirring yez all up to revolt as you should if you had any brains?

VOTE 'EM ALL OUT! Grin

Reply #43 - Aug 29^th, 2013 at 10:44pm Seeing as how the majority of dole recipients are only on it for the short term, while they're between jobs, getting a hundred bucks twice a year isn't going to really affect them. Who it will affect however, is the long term layabouts - and that's precisely who need to be affected.
