There is plenty of stuff which needs doing and dole workers are the key..
Ie, nation park clean up of rubbish.
Overgrowth trimming etc..
You wanna get paid, you turn up.. If you don't show and dont have a valid excuse, no pay..

I reckon they'd be better off if you leave school without work you go to one of the forces,any longer than 6 mnths without work and the same...In saying that I hope I never have to rely on this benefit....

Work for the dole is not a bad idea in principal in some circumstances.
BUT.
It would annoy the crap out of me though, that as a taxpayer who has been fully employed and never taken a government hand-out in my life, that if I needed it, some forkin bureaucrat gets to tell me to go plant a tree or some nonsense for me to get the benefits I need? I've paid my taxes (and a bloody lot too) for more than 20 years. I reckon I'm allowed to get something back if I need it.
Life's not fair anyway and it never pays to worry about what the other bloke is up to. That's a short road to misery.

Once upon a time I would have argued against this (when I was younger and more stupid than I am today) but not any more. Totally unacceptable for anyone to be under the influence of any substance at work.

I'm also ok with the dole.
There will always be some c@nts that don't want to work or add any value to society and I view it as a form of insurance that my house is less likely to be knocked over and my wife isn't going to be robbed on the street.......doesn't always work but it's better than what it could be.......

I fully agree with work for the dole, they should be out there helping the elderly and cleaning up the streets and forestry and all that volunteer work. If you don't get a job within 2 months the no pay or go work for the dole. I also like the whole apartment thing that is a good idea. One of my sisters old boyfriend used to sit at home smoking all day long while she worked then came home and cooked,cleaned and so on ( and yep more fool her for doing it) but he just sat playing the ps claiming the dole. When I dobbed him in to centre link not a thing happened and he still got payments.

These people on the dole man the kitchen. They cook the meals.
Or they mow the lawn
Or they repair stuff in the building
Or they sew up torn blankets.
If anyone goes spastic and starts smashing stuff, or refuses to chip in, they get kicked out.
They don't get given money to waste.
They get given what they genuinely need'
Why do we not have a system like this?

I had a good mate 20 years ago back at school. We finished school, me and other mates all got jobs, he applied fore the dole instantly. I saw him last year and guess what? He's still on it.
