Another thing this Govt misjudged ( as mentioned in the Ross Gittins article) is that people who are not unemployed on benefits, aged, disabled..support those people and don't want the Budget proposals introduced that will affect them unfairly., for example, sone unemployed youth to only be eligible for dole payments 6 months of the year.
Not all unemployed dole recipients are dole bludgers. Plenty of young people graduating from Uni can't get jobs straight off.
Yet we got Hockey giving speeches about lifters andleaners..why should a working person work a hour more a day to pay a dolebludgers benefit. The majority of the public didn't fall for that attitude.
The other young people they have not taken into consideration are those who are married with children and mortgages and have been working but loose their jobs through no fault of their own, if they are under thirty they will have no payments for that 6 months.
