Gina looking for a long wall and a load of blindfolds.

[Rambo]

There are a few people on the dole that work the system to get money they shouldn't, this pisses me off.

There are few millionaires who work the system so that they don't have to pay tax, this also pisses me off. A lot more.

 

[Burt de Ernie]

Well she could start by employing australian workers instead of importing overseas workers.

LOL....you used Australian and workers in the same sentence!

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

One of those pubs lets the drinkers book up, but they never pay...... Have heard from a reliable source that he cant even afford to stock his fridges with take away beer. And the blokes who drink there are also in the ...shall we say... fresh herb market....

 

[shaunous]

Yes but the millionaires are mostly relying on their accountants and tax agents, so they can only get any with so much. It's not the routing of the system they do, it's the ability to have money to but more here and their to claim more here and their and afford accountants who are really good at their job, which u and me will not get, as the average accountant is as good as anyone with Google and Microsoft excel.

 

[Bribie G]

I'm a welfare recipient, age pensioner, and like 40% of baby boomers I have no assets. I have owned two houses and wives got both, along with a fair whack of my super, predominantly because I decided to be a good guy. More fool me.

I have paid taxes all my life, have only had around a year on the dole as such and feel I now should receive the promises given to me by the government, that I would be looked after.

shaunous, I'd bet that the "bludgers" you refer to probably appear to be well off because their kids are fed on dollar bread and two minute noodles, they receive stolen goods and deal in Ganja on the side. These are the visible minority of welfare recipients who stand out like a sore thumb, and your post says it all ... these are the ones you see when you drive past so they are in your face.

My partner is part aboriginal and I can assure you that for every drunk ***** you see in a park or on the so called news, there are many more in jobs and living a decent life. I attended an aboriginal wedding with 300 guests a couple of years ago, all were employed, arrived in late model cars and only five, yes five, guests were drinking alcohol. And that was xxxx gold.

Unfortunately the media only present those drunk ****** and those bludgers, who do exist, so it's hard for anyone to get a true handle on the real situation. Suits Abbott, Gina, Murdoch and Pell just fine.

Yeh I figured and recognising a few to be fruitless tomatoe producers, but the whole crew? There is a fair few of them their, none of them work, and some are not just drinking beers, their into rum cans and cans of Jimmy B. WTF?

Hs account isn't closed by Tooheys yet, so he cannot be doing so bad. That's when u know they are struggling, they start buying their kegs through other local pubs for cash.

Jeezuz Bribe....you are the first person in propably 20yrs that I have heatd use N word.....

Well he would not be the first pub in town to be on a cash only acc. Few in south have been

 

[shaunous]

You only need to visit our great lil town briefly to visually see the 'bludgers'. I wasn't referring to Aboriginals Bribie, just incase that's what u were referring to....

 

[TimT]

There's an interesting and helpful conversation we could all have about welfare, but colour me skeptical when that conversation is started by the richest person in Australia! She may be good at making money but Rinehart is just not clever about her media appearances.

 

[Bribie G]

Now I'm on a roll

I used aborigines as an example of the few in-the-face people that tarnish the majority you don't see because they are, like yourself, living a good life unseen.

As a pom (arrived here in my late 20s) I am also entitled to a part UK pension as well. Not for sentimental reasons but because I FECKN PAID FOR IT

(SHOUTS)

The UK welfare system is based on the National Insurance Contributions Scheme set up after the Second World War, and is basically a State run super type scheme. Every week, a contribution is taken out of your pay and accrues in your Nat Insurance account, and if you are unemployed for a while and when you retire, this contribution .. did you see the word Insurance above? pays out.

Perhaps a big mistake made by Australia (whingeing pom cap on) is that this was not adopted in Australia at that time because there was huge economic growth and low unemployment, mostly due to immigration, and ever onward and upward etc... no need ever to have a contributory system like the UK.

And it's still contributory in the UK, I can actually now pay for all my missing National Insurance contributions that I didn't pay as I moved to Aus, and can get a half pension. Applying right now, and no not double dipping as the payment will reduce my Aussie centrelink payments which is just fine by me.

In the UK (despite being in recession but that's another story entirely so don't go there) they refer to BENEFIT payments (shouts) because that is what they are, benefits that are paid from your own personal National Insurance scheme contributions - just as benefits from Funeral Direct or Insuranceline or whatever over here. "Please indicate here name of beneficiary should you pass away".

Sad really because the precarious situation of Australian Pensioners and unemployed leaves them open to accusations of bludging, and an "entitlement" mentality. Not so in other countries.

So in the UK if someone (or more correct, some thing) like Geeena were to pipe up about the entitlement mentality she could get well fecked.

 

[shaunous]

She not real good lookin in them either.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

Not eye candy I must admit but what she says and what she does makes me want to go down on her.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

She probably lays there on here motifed chaise lounge, and rings a small bell..." I am peckish...fetch me one of them $2 workers...that should tide me over till dinner "

 

[wide eyed and legless]

What you reckon she eats them!

 

[goomboogo]

What you reckon she eats them!

By the dozen.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

Well we won't need the blindfolds or the wall then.

 

[goomboogo]

The unemployment rate drops as she eats; I mean as we speak.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

Wouldn't it be lovely, but we can't have a good old democracy without we put down a few people, why should my taxes be supporting those who would not be missed and don't want to work, putting them to the sword would get my vote.

 

[manticle]

How much of ypur actual tax goes to the dole?

If I could actually select where my tax went, there'd be a lot of other **** I'd rather not pay than welfare.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Even crippled babies who look after stray dogs have family.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

Is that my problem,babies looking after stray dogs, my tax should be going to uphold our pensioners they have done their hard yakka, not supporting dole bludgers.
Al right we have got sick people who do need a helping hand but there are more people than you realise manticle that are putting their hand out for what isn't theirs.

 

[Mardoo]

One wall. One blindfold.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

I know that we are not all alike otherwise we would be brewing one beer, praying to one god, and having a ******* boring life.
We all come into this world the same way but we are all different, I can't change anyone else's point of view but I would enjoy the challenge to do so, I am glad we don't think alike, I enjoy confrontations, and I would top myself if we did all think alike

 

[spudfarmerboy]

Wide eyed and legless, if you don't like it, you can **** off to Pomgolia anytime you like and stay there.
You won't be missed.

 

[hoppy2B]

Gina would have to be the greediest evil witch of them all in my opinion. She's like the biggest bludger in the universe! No, tell me what you do with your time Gina apart from trying to avoid paying tax like a greedy self centred swine!

How many problems have greedy rich people caused in this world? How many times have greedy rich people used their wealth to oppress others?

I think when you die you are going straight to hell Gina. Look forward to your next life living in a slum somewhere.

Me! Me! Me!

LOLOLOL.....thanks for making me laugh. That is too funny.
