take a married couple with 2 kids they can get upto $1300 a fornight in dole payments , take a hairdresser taking home $500.00 a week where are they better off? the dole
if i was the prime minister of Australia, i would cut unemployment benefits, i would cut newstart, youth, abstudy and austudy allowance as a whole, i would cut unfair law dismissals, i would seek to criminalised unions, and bring back work choices to Australia.
@terry2708 I wish I could be as hardcore as you, fighting over the internet and all. Seriously, grow the fuck up, there's alot more to Australia than unionised pricks and dole bludgers, it depends entirely where you go.
Also, first you say that our government rapes us with tax, then you claim we all suck off the government? Surely that can't be right, seeing as Centerlink income isn't taxed...
"work for the dole is about potentially learning new skills and then use these skills to get a proper job or start a business and earn some real money".... Mate I can guarantee you that your opinion regards to that is typical brainwashed garbage delivered straight from the system itself. Speak to many WFTD participants about it and they will laugh right in your face
Mate, the dole fucken sucks full stop. Even when you lose your job, try and look for work, rely on your savings until you get the dole and still your struggling to make ends meet.. Not everybody gets the dole and sits around whinging and complaining, you can also thank the ever demanding job market here in Australia where you are contending for 1 job and fighting against hundreds or so people for it. To me the the system has made it the way it is now, not the everyday average bear.
Please understand that John Howard was using National Socialism (read: Nazi polices) to try and make the economy look good.
WFTD is slave labour. I was starving hungry last time, doing the work of a tradesperson and actually was $8 a fortnight worse off than if I had stayed in bed. Work that one out.
I've been on Youth Allowance for 3 years, joined the defence force and did my time and paying $400 bucks a fortnight in tax too. I look back on the times when I was on the dole and think that in the end I'll be paying for someone's dole cheque. Just the way the world works.
The dole used to be great under Hawke/Keating's Labor Party. You just went on it and they left you alone. These days it's like navigating a bloody minefield. Mutual obligation this, appointment that, dole diaries - jesus christ! Makes you wanna go out get a bloody job
Who gives a fuck if the job is not safe etc, it's exactly hard get a fucking job, milions are on the dole just becasue there better off, GET A FUCKING JOB YOU LAZY BASTARDS
One thing people also forget to take into account when lamenting welfare, at least 10% of that payment is coming directly back to the government via GST!
The way that people go and on about how people on the dole are just bludgers you'd think the dole bludger was sitting at home collecting big, have heaps left over after rent, bills, food, transport etc etc etc. The facts are, every single cent that goes into a "dole blugder" account goes straight back into the community. EVERY SINGLE CENT. "Dole bludgers" keep the foundationary ball rolling.
Hi.. That is a very true statement. Very intlelligent way of looking at the welfare situation. The finances would be ejected back into the economy to a great extent. Thanks
Keynesian fallacy at its finest. Where does that money go if you dont give it to welfare and didnt tax it. Well most of it would go to charity since theres no longer a welfare state. This is pretty obvious by the fact that we have welfare in a democracy, so most people must care about the welfare of others. As for the rest of the money, it either gets spent or put in the bank, which is just another way of getting someone else to spend it.
so fucking rtue, the most you can get at 17 years old is $340.00 a fortnight, plus like $60 rent assistance provided you arent living with your parents... you have to look for 20 jobs a week and if you dont have a home phone and cant ring up about an appointment you missed, too bad youre a dole cheat, no pay for 8 weeks... assholes
Dont worry about it dude, i know how hard it can be getting your foot in the door and getting yourself a career.the trouble is, its not what you know its who u know. good look to all the ambitious doleys out there!
In a way that is true (mainly if your looking in the private sector), but for those (including myself) wishing to enter the public sector, you really have to achieve it on your own. I myself spent three years on the dole before joinging the ADF, since then I have had a total change in perspective and am looking for further work at the moment in state govt. security work

They exploit people with Disabilities too.
They don't help, it's about meeting quotas.
