That puts it pretty much in a nutshell.
diver dan,
They acknowledge that alright but only when it comes to Indonesia !

Remember the old poem about the swaggy who arrived at the South Australian boarder with a bag of grapes, only to be told he couldn't carry them across the boarder. He sat down. ate the grapes, "then carried them across the boarder in his belly".

I have wondered why we arrest people carrying drugs, but do not penalise those with the result of drug taking in their body. Any ideas?

I see no problem making drug tests mandatory for everyone, including pensioners. Stick any who test positive on a no cash card, including all government employees. Refusal of a test should carry a mandatory jail sentence, with the term increasing for repeat offenders.

Watching Current Affair this evening was an eye-opener. A 30 year old druggie didn't even hide the fact that Welfare enabled him to continue his habit & a single mother with one child is receiving 1200 Dollars a week ? Can someone please verify that I heard alright ?

Last night Channel Nine [ a Current Affair] put a Pensioner on display
Wounder if they paid him, very much a moron and failure he is but it widened the cash card debate or did it
Some will fire up against all because of this one, maybe he should face criminal charges?
Filthy house filthy bloke no average pensioner here but still defaming a whole group? was that the aim?

defaming a whole group? was that the aim?
Belly,
Only that particular section of Welfare recipients which IS a large section.. They actually did say that many aren't like he is.

Indy I started full time work at age 13 worked till 66
Worked every extra shift [often] or over time never cheated on my taxes
Would have worked till death if I could have
Turned 74 today, bit hungry, not starving, last ten grand isolated in super for my burial
But car stays out the front, not moving, petrol went up yesterday [oil war] and its ten liters to go any place here
So I am a pensioner,I have seemingly committed a crime in your eyes, lived too long, should have died the day I stopped work
That young man? you know the term would not so and so on him, my dad, yep mum too, in our hard times young days told us this a million times
Get a job work well you can not build a life without work
