I have finally worked out the governments stratergy for reducing unemployement. By not paying anyone under 30 the dole for 6 months, the only thing they can do is starve to death. Its a win-win. They dont have to hand out money to industry to employ people, because those who they would normally be looking for work will have starved to death. So combine the amount the government saves on industry employement schemes and the amount saved on social security payments and bingo. Instant surplus. And it gets better. Because the need for social security is lessened there will be less Centrelink staff needed. So anyone employed under 30 in centerlink can be put on social security knowing full well that they will starve to death eventually. The governments agenda will snowball to the point that only rich people will be left.

These guys are ******* brilliant.
 
Mate the rich are bucking up and digging in too. You try earning 300,000 a year and being asked to pay an extra 400 bucks. It ******* hurts.
 
I love the fact that even all the middle class liberal voters have gone silent. Even they can't justify the ******** anymore now that they realise how much it's going to affect them.
 
there's always a few true believers who think *insert favourite political party* **** doesn't stink.

Edited for clarity.
 
The unemployment benefits is already ******. I've been unemployed for 5 months after being made redundant and still I'm not eligible for the benefit because my Mrs earns over 41k not much more and that, and it don't go far after rent and the rest. If I have a kid though I'd be sweet.. strange system as it is... Been looking for work pretty hard to.. So they can do what they like cause I'm already ******. Rant over. And I'm under 30

Well Simo...looks like your one of those who will have to starve to death to save the country. Everyone has to do some heavy lifting. Especcially funeral directors,pallbearers and grave diggers.
 
Doing my part for the country!!!

A combined income of 41k should be plenty. The era of excess and luxurious spending is over.

Don't blame me.
I voted Trotsky.

On a more disappointing note, my young bloke has discovered the delights of picking his nose and eating it. Pity. I had such high hopes for him.

Time to concentrate on the daughter.

There is actually a kernel of truth to that, more so if you mix it with some dirt. Fine. Saves me money on hand sanitizer and food.


Still gross as ****. But also funny.

At least the lifing will not be THAT heavy after all the deaths by starvation..

On a more serious note, isn't there an option of going back to study and collecting Austudy or similar?
I was under the impression that there was another option besides starvation, though might be mis-informed.

Well...looks like they are going to have to build more TAFE centres.

There goes the educatiin & training budget up in smoke.

They didnt think that bit through very well. They will have to spend $$$ on new buildings,teachers etc & pay them to study..

Will be interesting to see what happens to all the unemployed who applied to study but got knocked back due to lack of positions...looks like starvation is the only option ...

TAFE is funded by the states. So, just like the federal cuts to education and health budgets, the states will have no option but to lift and/or broaden the base of the GST.
 
It's lager, not larger ffs. Poor spelling ***** me to tears. Peek/Peak. To/Too. Lose/Loose. There/They're/Their. Not/Knot. Witch/Which. Etc...
 
it won't be popular - but it's not the Feds problem. Like the changes to uni fees* - most of the people who will be affected aren't old enough to vote yet. So while most people might disagree with the changes, when it comes down to it, everyone is selfish and looking out for their own skin.

*there are three main changes, all of which make tertiary education more expensive:
1 - deregulation of fees. universities will be able to charge whatever they like for each course. This gives future governments to further cut funding in the future, knowing that the Unis will have to pick up the slack.
2 - change to the commonwealth gov contribution. currently, the gov covers 60% of the fees students pay. This is changing to 40% (so by default, all courses will be at least 50% more cost to the student)
3 - change to indexation of HECS/HELP loans. currently they're indexed to CPI (usually about 3% p/a), this will change to the ten year bond rate (currently under 4% - typically around 6%)
