Cassa said...Little Jon said...Cassa said...Apparently it's there to stop people spending the DOLE on unnecasary items , such as alcohol , tobacco , drugs,
ohh poor souls.
Just watched the report , and there are some complaints.
Seems to me it could be a great way to get them off there lazy arses and work , is there much more to say?
Personaly , tobacco, drugs and alcohol aren't really on top of the list that the un-employed should have paid for them!!
What do you think?
. This is the sort of hater stuff you hear from Alan redneck Jones. Most people on the dole are making a great sacrifice by being the ones who miss out on the jobs and they should be compensated for this.
Nothing wrong with being on the dole with legitimate cause, bad luck if with this new card you can't by alcohol , smokes and drugs, thats fine with me.
As for the redneck card F--k it , have seen too many usless entities abuse the system for years to warrant further response to that old lemon.

No ,not every one on the dole is a bludger, that I agree with , although as an employer , I've seen plenty that abuse the system.
As for what I spend my cash on , not really any of your buisiness, but to satisfy your curiosity , per month-- Beer -$92 spirits- $30
aprox$ 50-60 fishing tackle and fuel
That's it!!
We are lucky in this country that there is some welfare to help those in need.
I just don't agree with the fact that some abuse this.
The basics card just makes sure money is NOT WASTED on unnecasary items,
what's so wrong with that!!
I agree people do abuse it, like any system. People rort the tax system every year, is stealing from your countries coffers through tax evasion acceptable or any different? Morally I don't think so?
As for what you spend your money on, I simply don't care it is none of my business, neither is it the Governments IMO.
But as I said above if it's aimed at people who need help budgeting and managing their family finances than I agree but just think its a massive impingement on people rights to direct them to spend money on this or that, if they are quite capable of making that decision themselves.
I deal with centrelink and benefit recipients quite often.. Usually older people. And I have seen lots of rorts, mainly by those with money.
the one that pisses me is the guy that is 55 - 60 to young to access his super and not really looking for work but thinks its ok if he gets his doctor to write up a dodgy certificate so he doesn't have to look for work. Or get someone to know say he does volounteer work.
And self funded retires with a million bucks in assets and 60 k in income pa receiving centrelink?? Do they need it, what quality of life are they leading if they need to top up there 60k with 5-10 from Clink. Most likely tax free.. That equates to a pretax wage of over 100k a year.. Working people don't even get the FTB benefit at this level of income..
Or the best one is.... Na. I charge to tell people that one...
But in my experience most rorts are done by the middle class, who think they are owed something.
