Exactly what skills will the person learn?
We've got Asia at our footsteps all learning high tech skills and then getting those industries, and our government is going to solve youth unemployment by having everyone grow trees and get half the minimum wage for it.
Great scheme, that puts Australia ahead of the rest in the high tech 21st century. What a bounce of nice people.
They'll learn the skill of getting out of bed when the alarm clock goes off
My God, you DO like to stereotype, don't you?
Do you actually have ANY idea what you're on about, or are you just here to slip
the boot into the faces of the unemployed, however unjustified that may be.
If you (and some of the other unemployed-hating righties on here) actually had
a clue what it's like to be unemployed, and came up with useful and practical
plans to ease the lot of those without a job, you just may be taken a bit more
seriously.
But ALL you lot seem to come up with involves punishing them, discriminating
against them, making them work for, essentially, nothing or pettily taking some-
thing away from them.
The Right sit there saying utterly stupid and offensive things like 'Oh, you're on
the dole, you have no right to the computer and internet connection that 'my taxes
paid for', or 'They spend it all on booze, drugs and gambling, so we should have
the right to tell them how and when they can spend their money, and on what'.
Or the all-time howler 'The dole was never meant to be a lifestyle choice'. How
shagging offensive do you think that sounds when you HAVE NO CHOICE?
There are, roughly, 200,000 jobs vacant, but there are 800,000 LOOKING for
those jobs. So how can you mob sit there with a straight face and deem 600,000
people to be drunks, drug addicts, problem gamblers and terminally work-shy
PURELY because they are the unlucky ones who miss out?
You lot should really have a listen to the crap you spew re the unemployed, and
be ashamed of yourselves. STOP blaming and punishing the unemployed for being
put in a position they do not want, cannot control or alter, and were not responsible
for in the first instance
Of course, I expect nothing but abuse and ridicule in response to these comments.
As usual.
