Round up all the trouble makers and put them in the Army- teach them discipline and self reliance then put them back where they came from after 12 months. Put their children in boarding school.

Dear Joe and Philip S.,

Thank You both for your insights.

This is all too complicated for me.

More questions than answers. I'm going to have to do
far more research on the topic. It's just too complex
for me at the moment. I've got too much on my plate
right now.

Again, Thank You for taking the time to respond.

Foxy you won't like this one, just saw it.

It does raise a number of questions.

Indigenous communities slapped with more fines under Government work-for-the-dole scheme, data shows

Disturbing new data reveals the impact Australia's flagship remote employment program is having on Indigenous people across the country, prompting claims it is worsening poverty in communities.

Unemployed people in remote areas must take part in the troubled Community Development Program (CDP) to receive welfare payments and can be docked about $50 per day for missing activities.

Region-by-region penalty statistics show places with higher levels of Indigenous participants were issued with more penalties, prompting claims the $275-million-a-year scheme is "racist".

** The first thing that seems strange is how can you fine someone $50 per day when the dole is not even $50 per day? **

Dear Philip S.,

Thank You for the link.

I don't know what's going on there.

It certainly doesn't seem fair.

Foxy - It appears in some cases the public servants are going after the easy targets that won't react in a certain manner.

They should be going after druggies, drunks etc make them work or take away the money.

Phillip & Foxy,

I suppose it depends simply on whether or not people have breached the conditions under which they are paid welfare payments by the taxpayer. It must be difficult to have to rely more on mining and national park royalties when people still have to pay exorbitant rents of $ 20 - $ 50 every single week.

I suppose one alternative might be to scout around for work, even if it's available away from their 'communities'. You know, like other people in rural and remote areas across Australia have had to do for generations.

Joe
