I saw the usual crop of bludgers again today in the main street. I don't mind the genuine cases, but among this lot there's a majority of smart-arse young punks who haven't worked for years.

And what made me laugh today? I was in Coles and a noisy bunch of them came from outside to the cigarettes counter. The rest of us counting our pennies ... but here they were, living extravagantly on all sorts of DSP etc rorts.

I'm guessing that within 12 months they'll all be off the streets and working for their upkeep.

yes, I go to the local shopping centre and see the usual suspects, I work shift work so know that many others also do of course but its easy to pick out the bludgers.

They couldn't support the lifestyle you describe on welfare. It's impossible and we all know that

So, if your account is accurate, they're obtaining money elsewhere

In which case, they're not typically disabled, are they?

Whereas out there, there are people who are genuinely disabled, unable to work and reliant on welfare. They don't sit around drinking latte in sidewalk cafes, nor do they have money or inclination for drugs or drink at taxpayer expense. Instead, they live poor lives in every sense of the word

and it does them a grave injustice to portray them as welfare millionaires, drug addicts, etc. in the hope of alienating them from taxpayers' sympathy

Most of my working life was shift-work ... and I mean 'work'. No 'weekends', no 'Xmas' ...

The bludgers have a certain 'look' about them that's easy to spot. They are a genuine stereotype. These are the ones who spent their late teens, 20's, and to mid-30's in and out of jail for drug-dealing, burglary, receiving goods, alcohol-fuelled domestic violence, etc, etc.

They couldn't support the lifestyle you describe on welfare. It's impossible and we all know that.

Smoking cigarettes, and having a cup of coffee every half hour would be easy for them to cover on the DSP with rental assistance and 'supplementary' benefits.

I know two of the drug dealers by sight, but I'd be surprised if it was something other than marijuana they're selling. That's why they're left alone by the local cops.

A casual I once worked with also took Monday off every second week to sell 'Mary Jane' around the local pubs.

There's no possible reason for them not to sit in the sun having a cappuccino or two at pavement cafes from North Sydney to the Far Western suburbs.

I've been careful to describe this lot as 'The Untouchables' who turn up to the local cafes every day of the year while the aging unemployed are beaten over the head to get back to work or do Work for the Dole as I did at age 64.

Is it really necessary for me to spell it out that: Most people on the DSP are genuine cases who are not rorting the system.

I didn't think it was necessary for me to state this as the obvious.

I don't need support. Sorry to disappoint you. I like Herbert, he makes some posts I don't agree with and on occasion I personally insult him but he displays what I would call street savvy which can only come from life experience in the real world, unlike most on this forum who are ridiculously naive and gullible.

Which is entirely the object of the exercise.

And I see several here who've fallen for it.
