All welfare, every single cent, should be by welfare card.
Controlled so that the money can only be used for food, housing and the necessities of life.
No entertainment, no smokes, no grog.
And if the recipient does not use that fortnights allocated free money, they lose it.
No more hoarding it for trips to Bali.
This free money is a privilege, not a right.
If you want money to spend how you like.
Get a job.....easy
There are ppl with jobs on that card. Because they dont earn enough to get by the govt gives them a couple dollars anad they have to have their money controlled. What about pensions? Govt wants pensioners on it too. In fact some are already. You dont think they have the right to control their own money? what is wrong with you?
Spot
As a self funded retiree ......to be.
I worked hard, saved my money and will live comfortably ( not on the thieving grubberments stolen cash)
If you have not planned for the future, educated yourself or worked hard and saved.
What gives you the right to demand money for nothing?
Bring on the card for all.
If you want free cash to live on, you have to jump through hoops.
Or you can work
Easy
Its the middle aged women who are in trouble. They raised families back when it was the right thing to do.
Spot
My wife was a stay home mother.
Raised our children while I worked.
Was the best and most efficient way, and I was happy to do it that way.
Of course she has no super
And the grubberment does not take into account her years of support and volunteer work she has done.
But, no matter, my super is more than adequate to support both of us comfortably into retirement.
Unlike the parasites in this world
I have planned and prepared for my future.
And will live comfortably into retirement as well as leaving a sizable inheritance to my children.
Your story is exactly why i posted that. Are you saying that woman is a "parasite" because she doesnt have a valkie to look after her?
Spot
You just don't get it do you.
Her role was to look after the kids and bring them up in a loving , caring household.
To be there and support me so that I could earn an income and allow us both to enjoy life.
She saw all three kids to adulthood, being there not only for them, but for many other people who needed help.
Even our grandchildren have benifitted from her care.
She has volunteered all her life with various groups, putting in many hours of hard work, she is well known among the elderly in our area as the go to in times of need.
A parasite?
Far, far from it.
The only difference from my working is that I get paid, she does far more in areas I woukd not go.
I also volunteer, I believe that giving of oneself is good for ones soul.
Karma you might say, I also help the elderly in our area, fixing things and helping where ever I can.
Only the other night I had to help an elderly resident who had a fall, I had to take her to the hospital, wait while she was checked and patched up, and take her home.
The next day I fitted a hand rail where she fell.
I ask nothing for this, expect nothing and would take nothing if offered.
Now, lest look at the dole bludgers.
How many actually give help to anyone freely?
Where my wife volunteers, she is in charge of those who are sent for WFTD or community service for doing naughties.
Getting them to work is nigh on impossible, for the most part.
And the two abbos refused to do anything at all.
Get your head out of your arse and work out what a parasite is.
and never ever mention my wife again.
You are not good enough to wipe the mud off her shoes.
