So, they are going to bring back work for the dole

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.

That's crap but I'd rather he was on the dole than stealing my chit.

You think because someone is on the dole they dont steal? Not stereotyping just a general question...

Tis a tough thing.
You need to make aid accessible but try and weed out the blunders..
I think it needs to be means tested for sure, and a fortnightly or monthly drug test aswell..
If you make it to hard to get to penalize the minority who rout the system, a lot of genuine people will suffer..
I think meal vouchers are a good thing, but again comes with complications..

Not necessarily but I believe that it reduces the chances of someone being completely desperate.

generally speaking we are talking about long term shit bags here not genuine unemployed so yes stereotyping is a good way of putting it sit at home smoking crap selling it and whatever else they do with all the time they have on their hands someone down the line is stealing shit to keep their shitbag lifestyle intact.kev

Lol Kev. I was kinda thinking the same but was trying to be, erm, keep it nice. But yeah I here ya bud. Eff'ing frustrating it was when I saw old mate and he hadn't changed. He still blames everyone else for his problems, like he did at school over 20 years ago. Funny thing is he got his motorbike learners at 16, let it expire three maybe four time before I last saw him back then. I saw him not long ago and he still only has his bike learners. No car L's at all.... What a joke.

Do you think he might have an undiagnosed mental health issue? Or do you think he is just bludging?

[mudski]

Nah he's just a bludger.
