Welfare Reform suggestions

Who should they target first? Or last?

The reasons for the disrespect for Julia Gillard were gender based.

The reasons for the protests and dislike for Poor Me Abbott are policy based.

You only need to read what both of them say without the visuals and sound to know.

They call it reform because Draconian sounds a bit suss.

Not in my case, it would not have mattered what gender it was, man, woman or even hermaphrodite. Gillard was the worst pollie that i have ever had the misfortune to know

They can work.  My ex attended a methadone clinic on daily basis before work initially.   He was eventually allowed 'take-aways' where he only needed to attend twice a week. 

He had no problem with accessing a rehab centre.  He was unemployed at the time.   WHOS was the rehab place - are they still around?

Yes, they can but they don't work for everyone first try.  

I don't know if WHOS are still around or not. Did they administer a methodone program at all?

It seems like a good idea to offer programs to people in the community so they can keep their jobs and life intact, or at least pick up the pieces..

No Donna, I chose to ignore it because it was not worthy of a reply based on the fact that you have made an assumption on an event that has not happened. I however prefer to comment on event that have happened. 🙂

Nobody has broken into my home poddy and you use that as an anology all the time when speaking about refugees etc,

I am simply asking about welfare reform and after reading your first post I wondered how you feel about indigenous people in an area where there is no work as far as welfare reform goes?

[carls*world]

Target the system, FTAs and cheap imports, create more PROPER jobs than there are people "looking" for them, and the dole could be axed completely, as there would be no excuses for fit, able bodied working age people to collect it.

Disrespect and protests?

That is putting it  mildly.  We're talking about death threats and threats of violence to the PM's daughters.

I actually had no idea it went that far.   Did you?
