Rush of blood to the head today, even after all these years I felt myself reaching for the delete button.
Someone’s neighbours grandkid, nephew, stepson… was on the dole and ducking and weaving when a job came his way. Well excuse me.
I’m being confused with someone who gives a shit, what about the thousands of kids… tens of thousands?... that line up every week for a job, suffer the abuse of unfair Job Centers and get nowhere? Shall we penalise them so a few abusing the system suffer? Because that’s what going to happen.
Anyone played Monopoly? It works like this, everyone gets sent to jail now and then but the ones that own all the houses and hotels and have all the money buy themselves out while those with no money lose even further opportunities of advancement… or have to sell their house to the highest bidder.
In real life the rich get out of jail by abusing the system, they have offshore accounts, family trusts, franked dividends and other good stuff… but hang on, this is legal. Try being a kid on the dole who doesn’t want to work at MacDonalds or a single parent whose friend stays over too many nights a week, or someone whose income is that complex they misinform Centrelink about it. Illegal. Criminal scum. Go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $50.
We live in a country where people who fought an unjust system used to be heroes; the Eureka Stockade is still held up today Where are the new heroes? Sportsmen on million dollar incomes. Let us down and we punish you with a good booing.
I’ve said before, this forum is for people who are sick of the constant belittlement by the media and those who believe it. It’s not going to happen here.
