It's very sad that there will always be a percentage of lazy layabouts who have absolutely no intention of finding work and just want to live on the unemployment benefits to fund their lazy lifestyle. It's a small percentage, but they ruin it for everyone else.
It's supposed to be a temporary funding scheme for people to assist them while finding work, not a permanent lifestyle choice.
It is way too low BTW ... but increasing it could have the undesired side-effect of keeping even more lazy layabouts in permanent lazy lifestyles.
That mob tarnishes the unemployment benefits scheme for all the genuine job-seekers.
BTW ... I reckon calling it "The dole" should be ended, it demeans the genuine job-seekers.
Did you just dig through your dusty folder containing posts you wrote twenty-five years ago?
If that's not your excuse, then you really are out of touch
You'd be aware, surely, that in order to receive the dole, people have to submit x-number of applications per week? And must attend x-number of interviews per week?
Only when they've satisfied those pointless exercises to the satisfaction of those holding work by processing dole applicants to ransom, may the unemployed receive the pittance known as the dole
yet the clueless like yourself seem to imagine dole receipients receive MORE THAN YOU. And are jealous of the jet-setting lifestyle of dole recipients, right?
Yes, we see them every day in the op-shops, those wealthy dole recipients -- buying old clothes and scraps of blanket to try to hold the chill at bay. Jet setting bastwards, right?
And the really ugly element of your post is the fact that in addition to the Saudis funding traitors to defend islam in this country ---- there are also traitorous bastwards prepared to defame fellow Aussies for a handful of coin. And they've been making dollars --- dollars --- for decades, by lying about those dreaded dole bludging jet setters who're taking ALL that money instead of working at all those jobs WHICH DO NOT EXIST in this country
and the few which DO exist
or which are CREATED on OUR money by sell-out politicians
specifically handed to incomers of the tinted shade
even when it means (as it invariably does) sacking a reliable, experienced, hard working Aussie
so I suspect and very strongly at that
that your above post was posted
in order no one would read the post directly above it
I respect you not one iota by the way, in case that hasn't already been made clear
