My first job, when I lived in Newcastle, was in Sydney - Wahroonga, to be precise. Two trains and a long walk, it took me 3 hours to get to work each day to the traineeship. It's time some of today's kids (and adults) toughened up and stopped leeching off hardworking taxpayers!

You poor thing - having to get a job.

Congratulations - did you have no shoes, have to walk on razor blades etc etc

Why - I've worked full time since I was 18, never been on new start/any government payment - I positively deserve a medal.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-05-09/interactive-budget-2013-where-will-your-tax-go/4682404

We currently spend $138 billion in welfare -this includes:
Assistance to the aged $54.8 billion
Assistance to veterans and dependants $7.0 billion
Assistance to people with disabilities $25.5 billion
Assistance to families with children $34.9 billion
Assistance to the unemployed and the sick $9.6 billion
Other welfare programs $1.6 billion
Assistance for Indigenous Australians $1.0 billion
General administration $3.7 billion

Where do we cut from?

I know one place we can cut - close down all of the JSA's and have a central jobs suppository (oops) repository.

Playing to ignorant bogans like you might have won Abbott the election but continuing to play to ignorant bogans like you are why his polls are diving and Lib hardheads are looking around for an alternative to Abbott.

And if someone is living in a million dollar home needs the Pension—let him sell their home and buy something much cheaper and live off the difference! Nothing right about the rich riding on the backs of those on lower incomes!

The excessive rate of stamp duty makes this problematic.

That's different - the Coalition expenditure when in government is never to be questioned!

They can spend whatever they want - even if their claiming travel expenses to a wedding!

I know one place we can cut - close down all of the JSA's and have a central jobs suppository (oops) repository.

We DID have.

It was called the Commonwealth Employment Service.
