Well why stop at cutting their dole? Why not just kill all the poor?

Or perhaps we should with the Johnathon Swift's timeless solution: we cut their dole, but allow them to derive an income by selling their children to the rich as food.

Buzz you are off on one of your conspiracy,s again.

Where did I write anything about conspiracy ?
I am afraid you read thoughts into other peoples posts that are in your own mind.
It is not so much incompetence, although it is a factor, as a failure
to understand what is going on in the depths of the economy.

Milk you are wrong. Plenty of people receive the dole without working for it, including some of my family. I live in a town where there is no work for the dole scheme and in fact I dont think that scheme exists anywhere in the whole Kimberley.
Unemployed people just have to meet with their employment agency once every two weeks and thats all.

well suppose Toni selling your children for food is better than using your kids as human shields like the Palestinians do. Also better than butchering them in the womb as endorsed and promoted by feminist/humanist.

Yuyutsu, you may be unaware that there is a group of people in this country who have the ability to live off the land unassisted.
Aboriginal people, via Native Title, own approximately 20% of this country and it is land on which no rates or fees are ever paid.
If they wished they could return to the hunter gatherer life style they lived before white settlement.
Not that any wish to but the option is there.

Hi Tone,

We would probably have to ensure that those kids were halal: wow, there's a huge money-spinner for Muslim accreditation agencies and overseas 'cultural groups'. Alternatively, as Runner says, in the event of war, we could use them as human shields.

Mikk,

No, at least in advanced parts of Australia like Adelaide (I don't know what conditions are in Sydney or Melbourne) but here, people don't work for the dole, but may get only around $ 10,000 p.a., and have to apply for up to twenty jobs every fortnight. If it was me, I'd prefer to work for the dole, a bit less demeaning.

I was just looking up 'Bob Newhart' on Wikipedia (as you do): he started out as an accountant for the department of labour, but realised that he was earning $ 55 per week, while those on unemployment benefits were being paid $ 45 per week; so he chucked it in and went into comedy.

Come to think of it, I wish Trump would try the same career path.

Cheers,

Joe
