Suz, at no point have I said not to pay the bludgers kids, however, the only reason many of the bludgers have kids, is because our system supports this type of unfavorable population boost.

You know a system is ass up, when these bludgers can have their kids looked after for free, or bugger all, yet working parent/s pay through the nose for EXACTLY THE SAME CARE. It's yet another joke!

Now back to the kids.

These kids going with out, Is due to the administrators placing trust in these parents to distribute the welfare to the kids, when many of them can't even present for a job, let alone get and hold one.

Expecting them to the distribute the money, where its needed most, to the kids, is just plain stupidity in my view.

Talk about pissing into a fan!

I noted recently that disaster relief was provided via a SPECIAL debit card, whereby only nessecities could be purchased, no gambling, no cigs and no grog.

The problem of kids missing out would be all but fixed by implementing this simple OBVIOUSLY AVAILABLE measure.

Not food or rent stamps, but a debit card, where all welfare, as well as child support could be quarantined, in an effort to prevent waste and missmanagement of tax payers and support providers dollars, not to mention address the issue of kids going hungry, or spouses tearing their hair out because the other half has wasted the much needed money.

As I have said, fix the leaks first, before throwing more money at the problem.

Now you lot who love to hate me can throw as much mud as you like, cause it don't stick here.

Common sense is what is required, but I guess that doesn't win votes.

Now if this type of attitude makes me a dole hater, then I guess I am guilty as charged, as my concerns are for that of the kids, more than anything else.

A conversation about refoming welfare, cutting waste would have my support.
One actually saying the unemployed are all ALP voters,or unworthy, is beyond insane.

I was raised and went to school in world war two and taught to work and be independent of the government. It was shameful to actually collect the dole in those days.

Twelve months ago I wanted a little extra money so I immediately got a job delivering pamphlets for nine months, Sometimes for as little as $5.00 an hour and walking 10 ks delivering about 60 kg total. I think I have every right to tell the bludgers to get a job.

Dear Snake,

Your attitude is correct, but harassing people with junk-mail is not the answer.

Unfortunately many of the available jobs harm others.

Facing this terrible dilemma of either taking stolen government-money or getting a job that harms others, one should pray for guidance and approach charities instead.

It's better to knock on people's doors and ask them directly for money than to pollute their minds through their mailboxes into buying unwholesome things they wouldn't intend to buy otherwise.

ROFL, Yuyutsu. I can relate to that.

On the other hand, The way these parasites described here are multiplying, we'll probably be grateful for the free energy supply delivered directly to our letter boxes to keep us warm in the winter :~)

I agree mustard. It is not harassing Yuyutsu, it is providing a useful service. With out that service, I would have to buy more newspapers, to wrap my rubbish.

But snake, would you mind sticking more of the physically large ones in there, & a few less of the smaller ones, they are a bit of a hassle for wrapping with?
