WELFARE cheats targeted

[davidc4430]

well heres a suprise, newly elected liberal party has discovered we have welfare cheats that are causing all our problems.

no need to worry about those big businesses not paying tax, they can get all the money they need by attacking the poor

as usual.

Sorry, David, but only subscribers can read there. Must be an interesting article when they mention organised crime.

thats odd, when i try the link i get the 'this artical is subcribe to read' thing but when i googled 'welfare fraud' under news the top answer is the story and link to the advertiser. when i click on that i get the story.

[davidc4430]

why is it that every time the liberal party gets itself in the poo their first idea is to blame the poor.

scott morrison was on the telly a few days ago with an attack on the welfare recipients. 'too many in this country have their hands out for free money' seems to be his answer to the multi billion dollar deficite the countries in.

yes, there are some in the welfare pool recieving money that shouldnt, but calling everyone cheats is a very cheap shot at the poor.

After living through a couple of recessions I've become aware of one surprisingly undocumented truth - the harder it is to get a job, the harder they make it to get the dole.

Of course it's the "welfare cheats" causing Australia's major financial problems. Surviving Living on a few hundred bucks a week is just so easy, everyone want to do it  lol lol

Completely outrageous, I think we should just let them eat cake!!! LOL  There are a number of articles around today including one in the Australian that is focusing on young carers getting back into work. I am amazed by the attitude of people out there that honestly buy into the governments agenda and claim that everyone is a bludger. 

I honestly believe that the government is out of touch with reality and I believe they target our most vulnerable because they are a soft target. What amazes me is the fact that our PM can spend frivolous amounts of money on entertainment etc but begrudges some one living below the poverty line a few measly dollars.  We need to raise up some pollies with a conscience in this country, the ones we have are not even worth a vote.

remember, mal gave that guy begging $5

i bet that makes him sleep well knowing that guy is now wealthy.

[imastawka]

He probably wasted that $5 on food

[davidc4430]

give a poor drongo $5 and he'll eat for a day

make him a politician and he'll eat like a king for the rest of his life.
