As an employer I found their service first rate—we would get a few, qualified applicants for each vacancy. The Jobs Network is an absolute joke! They used to send like a dozen to come visit me and none would be of any use. John Uterus Howard, second worst PM this country ever had.

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.

It did sound a bit like that Monthy Python sketch “And you tell the young people today that and they won’t believe you!”

I know - I almost bought him a tiny violin!

"Congratulations, you did what millions others have done as well - you got a job! Here is a gold star, a cookie and a medal!"

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.

The dog, Howard, dumped it in favour of the current shambles.

So why didn't wonder boy and lards arse change it if it's so BAD ! puddy cat Wink

They had 6 years Grin

Well, they did re-work it to make it more efficient, and removed some organisations which were rorting it.

But of course, you idiots would have missed that....

All the welfare parasites know its unsustainable but they don't care, they just want to take it easy now and bill the next generation.

Who are the "parasites"?

SOB

Just about every reffo thats ever hit our shores for a start, thankfully Abbotts cleaned that mess up, hopefully he stops the legal reffos too, I'm sure he'd like to.

That's such a load of bullshyt that it'd be laughable, were it not
for the fact that you dumbasses actually believe it.

Thats the information I have, if you have anything that proves me wrong please feel free to post it up. Wink

Welfare bludgers are a funny lot, not only do they want to sit around doing f*ck all while waiting for a handout they want half of the third world to come here and join them on the dole too.
Then they do nothing but piss and moan at the people who feed them, ungrateful caarnts! Grin

Not allowed to be unhappy with it? Are you saying that anything Labor does we should applaud just because Labor did it like you mob do with everything the coalition do something? That makes sense Cheesy

Yes, you've definitely swallowed the Kool-Aid.

How often does this have to be disproven before you accept that your
beloved stereotype comprises LESS THAN 1% of recipients?

Maybe on your planet, here on Earth though thats just not the case. Wink

According to the dept of immigration 89% of reffos are still on welfare after five years as opposed to 20% of the wider community.
Bludgers and layabouts is all they are, just like you.

The no-brainer is to increase taxes across the board.

Pretty sure if the Liberals did this they would be crucified. Well anyone, but particularly a party where one of their policies is low tax

True, and I am anti-tax myself BUT if the reasons for the increase are apolitical then it's a necessary evil.

Such a proposal would require bi-partisan support or a hell of a big majority in both Houses.

New taxes are politically toxic.

It depends upon whether the Govt is there to Govern or to remain in power as long as they can. (normally it's the latter)

The Opposition (whether they agree with it or not) will use any tax increase as a tool to gain political mileage. Labor did it with the GST and Abbott with the carbon and mining tax.
