I find it difficult to believe that centerlink receipients are financing existing drug habits from their welfare payments. The crime problem mentioned earlier is already there, my suspicions is perhaps an increase but not a new thing or a big hit on many who are not already subsidising welfare payments with crime.

As with many of the issues discussed here there are no easy answers, many are frustrated at having so much of their incomes taken under the threat if force and given to those clearly unwilling to try to support themselves. I keep wondering where those who don't see that happening
live, clearly not in the burbs with plenty of public housing nearby.

Many of the proposals to crack down on welfare ar statements of frustration with a system that classifies need and vulnerability pretty much just on the basis of taxable income and flogs those trying to meet their own needs to help those who won't without regard to the needs of the one earning the income. Thats where the real changes need to occur.

The really rich can afford to avoid many of the hit's, many of those working hard to meet pressing committments can't afford to avoid the hit.

Oh, Gawd, I set him off again. Sorry. ;-)

Maybe, there could be a system where the Dole isn't just handed out. A person on the Dole register's their accommodation & it's paid from Centrelink. A food budget is paid to Coles/Woolworths & the Dole recipitant goes & collects the food parcel. Electricity is paid through Centrelink too. They can have what's left over.

Then, if the Dole recipitant refuses the Drug test The Dole is cut off completely. Or if they Drug test positive then;

The Users go to jail for a long time until they give up their Pusher & the Pusher goes to jail for life until they give up their Supplier.

Then, we send the Supplier back to wherever they came from to face "their" Countries Penalties, or "Never to be Released & Hard Labour" if they are Australian.

Lot's of adds on TV, Papers & Internet to let the Druggies know so their is no excuse. If a druggie wants to get clean then let them front up & ask for help. Dob in as many Pushers & Suppliers as they can & the treatment is free.

It's time to get real & stop pussyfooting around with these people.

We'll deal with the Alcohol Problem at a later date. One problem at a time.

Time fa ya meds matie, then, have a Bex, a cuppa & a good lie down. ;-)

Dear jayb,

The art of reasoned intelligent argument is a
skill not easily acquired. And sound reasoning
will conquer unreasonable generalisations
every time. Also it helps if you appear to be
arguing on a mature intelligent level not an
emotional one.

As for political correctness? I wouldn't worry
about that too much if I were you. As long as you
don't appear too dogmatic (or abusive) - you'll be fine.

BTW (Loved your "little-Girl voice").
Suits you!
