poddster didn't you say that you came to Australia from a war torn country and had to wait for 8 years in a camp? When you were finally accepted by Australia and arrived here, I assume you would have been totally broke, and also lived on some sort of benefit?

Donna there are employed in this area yet at apple harvest time they are still sitting around on the park benches .
The orchardists have to give the work to backpackers. They have a better work ethic

One thing I hate is the holier then tho attitude.
Funny when these posts are made and there seems to be a lot of them, the attitude seems to be I would never do that, because you have not bloody been there.
A lot here seem to get some sort of kick out of putting down the already down trodden.
I find it sickening.

You are assuming people have never been there.
It's possible they have and that could be why they have no time for those playing the system. I would have thought most people wouldn't have much time for those who play the system in order to get a lot for nothing. Apparently, I was wrong.

My dad was given ten pounds and a job digging trenches.
My Dad was an engineer, yet he worked as a labourer until he got a grasp of the language, There were 4 of us in the family, my brother and I were of school age my mother took in laundry and ironing
Not an ongoing benefit,
Yes were were broke arrived in Australia with all our belonging in a wooden box less than 1 cubic meter.

There are bludgers out there that is for sure but why insult people who are looking for work by making assumptions about them?
Why don't you at least acknowledge there are not enough jobs out there for all the unemployed?
