"From 27 April, jobseekers will be eligible for a maximum base rate of $1115.70 a fortnight, excluding rent assistant and family payments, compared with a current base rate of $565.70."

Yes .... that is BS.

The now new unemployed haven't received anything yet .... many are still in the farqing queue ....

& the long term get theirs doubled plus rent assist & family benefits if applicable.

That will be more than what I'm drawing from my super per fortnight after 46 years of working.

And it will possibly hold off recession.

Best thing this government has ever done.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

Just down to the chemist, and people are so dumb - they stand behind the line at the entry all right - but then instead of going out the exit - they just turn around and brush past you standing your distance behind them. I said to the chemist they need to make the signs IN and TOO DUMB TO READ - might work better.

The obligatory addict showed up, empty from the shoulders up etc, and went straight to the exit sign to stand and wait his turn to go in.. no idea what the people lined up at the other end were doing.. standing there for the fun of it. Same guy looks like the guy on TV the other night assaulting an elderly couple in the street over the old guy reverse parking his car (how dare he?) Young and big 17 yo stepped in and dropped him.. cops charged the druggo with assault.

It's a worry when that kind are out and about on what looks like day release or parole. They don't half stick out and NIMBY thanks.

m,y daughter in law was here today she has a drug addled younger brother who has done time an lives with her long suffering mum..

mum comes home during the week and he has manage to score some Ice..he cuts up her lounge takes all the stuffing out and re stuffs it with tea towels and hand towels..he then tries to cut insects out of the walls....

I suggested she ring the Mental Health dept as there seems to be no help out there for parents in this situation....in the mean time I asked where does he get the money from to buy this....and he gets govt money my thoughts went straight to this person receiving any stimulus money that anyone on centerlink is going to get..

Angry

..

as we know we have more than our share of the drug addled?????.....are they all going to get this extra money????... does anyone know....as this poor mum of a drug addict doesnt know..

If they're on jobsearch .... he's just got a pay rise... double the dough.

Farqing madness.

Do you think they're gonna put it under their mattress?

Or maybe put it in a term deposit?

Or, do you think that money will go straight back into the community?

I'm curious.

WTF are you on about?

You calling a drug dealer "the community"

so that makes giving druggos double dole OK?

Drug dealers buy food, clothes, cars, and furniture just like the rest of us.

FFS ....you have a problem.

I don't give a farque what they buy ... their existence & support on govt(taxpayer) funds is obscene.

You're an apologist for scum.
