Why is it the employers fault?
Employers make the hiring decisions. Many Australian employers have been shirking their mutual obligation requirements for decades.
Most employers refuse to consider hiring unemployed workers if a currently-employed worker is also applying for the position.
Many employers have an unstated policy of never hiring unemployed workers, even if they are the only applicants for the job. These employers pretend they can't find anyone "suitable" before bringing in workers from overseas.
There's no such thing as a job queue. Workers are not hired in the same order they lost their jobs. It works in reverse, hence the employment "scrap heap".
It's a mark of your ignorance on this topic that this has to be explained to you.
You have not proposed any solution.
You simply repeat, pontificate and repeat.
Try looking at it from my perspective.
I earn around 140k a year.
Then the grubberment steals over 40k of that money.
Then, everything I buy is charged an additional 10%
And that's after all the sneaky taxes, charges and other theft takes place.
In reality, I get less than 1/2 of what I earn, to support a collection of bludgers
Imagine if you lost 1/2 of your income, I guess you would be happy to support bludgers?
In life, there are takers and givers.
Most of the people on long term welfare do not contribute at all.
In the volunteer organisation I work in my own time, there are perhaps less than 5% unemployed people contributing.
They are generally short term while looking for work.
We have virtually no long term unemployed, that's too much like work.
My wife also works for a volunteer social organisation.
She is the welfare officer.
The types she get in more often than not are takers, out for whatever they can get.
Occasionally a real fair dinkum person bludgeons their humility sufficiently to ask for help when it is Truely needed.
These people have come on hard times, but still refrained from demanding and begging because they have been givers all their lives.
Out of all the welfare cases, these are the ones tgat get to my wife.
These are the true and honest people needing welfare and for who the welfare system has been designed.
Not the lazy bludgers who just don't want to work.
Not the immigrants set on an easy, lazy life.
Not the thieves who play the system to get what is not due them.
As I said in the beginning.
There are givers and takers.
It's time the takers were told
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
12 months and benifits are cut, simple as that.
If that's a problem, take it up with the grubberment.
Get them to stop immigration
Get them to stop off shore manufacture and free importation.
Get them to force Australian made.
BUT STOP STEALING 1/2 OF WHAT I EARN.
