People who want to work will always get jobs -
even if it means getting paid less and having
more than one job. It's the mentality that "Nope,
not worth getting up out of bed for that sort of
money," that many have - and there are entire
families that have always lived on the dole for
generations. It's funny how when you look around
it's always "foreigners," who are driving our taxis,
our buses, our trains, building our roads, working
in our hospitals and aged care facilities - and yet
they're the ones being accused of taking öur jobs".
Ask the farmers what would they do without backpackers?
Where are the locals? Out in queues at Centrelink?

People who want to work will always get jobs
Foxy,
That's just idealistic jargon. We can safely say that only a very tiny percentage of people actually WANT to work. The greater majority HAVE to work to make ends meet.
We need Apprenticeships for young people. Pay the highly paid bureaudroids less & use the money for job schemes. That is the only way to stimulate the economy.

numerous people with arts degrees who can only get overpaid Government jobs. You can get degree in women's studies of all things. Learn how to be a complete victim, get an overpaid Government job and contribute nothing except sewerage to society.

runner,

People with Arts and Humanities degrees have a wide
range of jobs available to them. None of which qualify
as "sewerage." Except perhaps in your eyes.

They can work as - teachers, human resources
specialists, fpreign correspondents, journalists,
advertising managers, technical writers, artists, events
organisers, in public relations, travel agents, real estate,
retail, sales and hospitality, counseling, be editors,
museum workers/curators, library administration, actors,
research assistants, chief of staffers for MPs, and the list
goes on - the possibilities are endless.

Hi Foxy,

In all my days of election involvement, from 1972 until now I have never seen a government with so few positive options. Traditionally the government closes the gap in the last two weeks before polling day. If that does not happen, then the Coalition are in for a white wash.
