By Philip Mendes, published 5/9/2013

Tony Abbott argues that poverty is caused in part by irresponsible behaviour such as laziness, alcohol and drug abuse, family violence and gambling.

As a former Housing Commission tenant and member of the Labor party, could I say that the Liberal attitude to welfare bludgers is absolutely correct.

The primary reason for poverty and unemployment is low intelligence. Generally people with low intelligence are unreliable, dishonest, violent, do not worry about their health, imbibe to excess every type of legal and illegal drug, and drive like the idiots they are. But most of them are smart enough to know that they can get almost as much from welfare as they can from doing a low paid job which is all that they are capable of doing. Why work when you can sit on the dole?

The Holy Grail of the professional welfare recipient is the Disability Pension. This absolves the recipient of any obligation to look for work or to report their attempts to get work. There are now 700,000 disability pensioners in Australia which has a population of 23 million. That is more casualties then we suffered in every war that Australia ever fought in. You don't need to be a Mensa from the local Audobon society to figure out that something is fishy. Even Lexi, David G and Poirot could probably figure it out. Well, with a bit of coaching they could probably fiure it out.

Poor people with brains will get work, get out of the rut they are in, and become upwardly mobile. It is the job of governments to aid the deserving poor and to help such people to get jobs and become self sufficient.

There is also a huge problem with imported people who's culture and intelligence levels make it almost impossible for them to get a job. This is the reason why certain cultures and ethnicities have very high rates of welfare dependence and very high rates of criminal behaviour.

Why we are importing people into this country who are going to be nothing but a burden on our productive people for generations to come is beyond me. If we want to solve poverty and crime the first thing to do is to stop importing it.

LEGO,
My boss, well, high ranking bureaucrat & Labor supporter is in favour of bringing more boat people into Australia as their taxes will then pay for our pensions. Is that Labor's vision also ?

Hi Individual.

The new Labor heartland seats in Auburn, Punchbowl and Bankstown have the highest levels of long term unemployed in Australia. Afghans have an unemployment rate of 92% and Iranians 95%. So your stupid boss should re think that one.

The is a close correlation between welfare dependency among some immigrant groups and serious criminal behaviour. Perhaps your boss is hoping for a crime boom so that the Australian government can create more jobs in the every expanding police, judiciary, legal services, and prison services?
