Why are we blaming Hockey and Abott?

Obviously the money has got to come from somewhere. Where do you want to take it from???

Okay, just so you know, I don't get interpersonal with anyone.  Because I don't really like anyone. Easy.

But thanks, that was telling.

Why are we blaming Hockey and Abbott?

This says what I think (as do many other Australians)

"The budget was a giant attempt to get back to surplus solely by cutting spending and not increasing taxes. It failed."

Bye Tony, Bye Joe.

Stick to the topic, works for me.

MM12 no I didn't read the 2007 IMF report and I only glossed over the 2013 IMF working paper (2013) which I  see is written by IMF staff and i read the headline stories pertaining to that paper

my reference to those jets was not for the 14 already on order ( as they'd already been ordered and had to be paid for)

it was to the new order of the extra 58 jets

and yes I agree, our debt is low

Okay, just putting it out there, compared to whose? Are they worth imitatating? (comparitively population-wise)

Those who succeed in life see what can I do. Those who don't see It's all too hard.

The rest of the world isn't in that great of shape, regarding unemployed.

Anyway, doesn't matter, Someone's decided that actually talking about issues only works for them if it's one sided. You'll get far in life, but I feel sad for you at the same time. I'll get over it.

No, they have a credit card because they did have jobs. They have mortgages too.

One of my girls bought her house at 19 (no credit card there), the other in her mid 20s (credit card there for emergencies).

Of those I shared with 2 are now buying a house, 2 are renting somewhere else and one has returned home to study for a while.

---

So why don't they have those jobs now? Did they purchase on their own? Without partners? Were any partners working at the time? Do you think Newstart should pay their mortgages?

So neither would have been on Newstart? Good for them. There are a lot of people out there who think Newstart (the dole) is owed to them. A lot still live with their parents. A lot of others lived in shared housing share the same views. They are not disabled in any way, it's not like they can't work minimum wage at Maccas/KFC/supermarkets. They just think they're worth more money. Get a job and prove it, otherwise shut the hell up and take the free hand out.

One has been on Newstart or youth allowance in the past but she fought hard to not stay on it and spent every cent after rent looking for work.  She travelled hours a day to temp jobs until she got a permanent and then stayed and progressed.  As of today she has a better one  😄  Woohoo, I'm so happy for her because I know it was starting to get her down.  

I must know different young people than you  😄
