There's nothing new about Abbott's 'initiatives' - it's just that Centrelink staff have been justifiably too afraid of violent repercussions to enforce the rules with some of their more aggressive 'clients' ... Muslim youths, et al.

I've personally witnessed a dole-bludger go batshit ape in a Centrelink office. Not a pretty sight. All those staff members are very exposed to violence during after-work hours.

The clampdown began on 1st July. They've all received letters by now demanding them to come into the office to have the Riot Act read out to them about getting a job. No more excuses. No more "Dog ate my Application Form". No more BS.

And Scott Morrison is now the Head Honcho of the Bludgers' Portfolio. Grin

No more pretending to be blind. Oh hang on, that was Greece, wasn't it? Cool

I'd love to be a fly-on-the-wall at my local Centrelink.

True story.

My friend/workmate 'Yorgos' told me that he was driving his car with his wife one day when a Highway cop on a motorcycle came alongside him and signalled for him to stop on the side of the road.

"We're Greek and we don't speak English - okay?" He quickly told his wife.

The Aussie cop soon realised there was a 'communication problem' ... and then spoke into the microphone attached to his shoulder.

Five minutes later another motor-cycle cop arrived ....

"OOPAH!! Γεια σου φίλε μου!" ~~ Yes, he was Greek ... Grin

One of the brake-lights wasn't working. No big deal.

Herb...I reckon you love Greek people.

And, what's more, you're probably related to them through marriage.

They have a whole wall of racks filled with brochures for the general public, and I go there from time to time to pick up the latest information on how best to screw the taxpayers for more money as an Aged Pensioner, and ... O Jesus, what am I saying?! Embarrassed

No! Just disregard this post, please. My Delete button isn't working because there's a power failure in my area, and ... ... Cool

I hate Greek people. All those mansions. All that money. All those smashed plates. All those empty Ouzo bottles.

And Nana Mouskouri never answered my love letters to her ... I would have had more luck with George Michael ... Cool

Translation :

I love Greek people.

I wish I could be Greek.

I much prefer to be known as Lord Herbertopoulos.

As a 2-pack-a-day smoker for 60 years (I'm 71 now) - I paid a King's Ransom on Excise Duty and Customs tax on all those gaspers.

Add that up and I've paid for at least 20 years of my Age Pension just on that exorbitant tax alone - let alone my pay-packet tax. And during all those years I never once required an overnight stay in a hospital, or an ambulance. And then my father, mother, and both my brothers died of cancer years before reaching Aged Pension age.

Oh yes, I nearly forgot ~ the only time I started getting health problems was when I stopped drinking and stopped smoking 20 years ago.

There's a Message in there somewhere ... Cool
