still has kids though mate . in this country . we do try to look after children . even if the parents are scum
however , this guy. do you think he is smiling in that photo knowing what the story is about , laughing at the world because he receives benifits . ( i think not) the story has been written to deceive , and allow readers to form an opinion that may be possible , but not necessarily factual in this or many other cases.

i know many many many many people like this also. mainly women in thier 30, 40's 50's and 60s . who have never worked a day in thier lives for money. and live in housing commission houses . they know nothing else , you see them in shopping centres every day . mostly single with kids .

This is the problem though, people like this guy use their children as a means to gain extra funds. They spend the majority of their 'payment' on themselves and only give their kids the bare basics.

With the discounts and amount of payment he gets fortnightly he could easily budget for his family. Why is he complaining? He is probably blaming centrelink for his (and his wifes) own addictions and self indulgences, it seems to be the common thing to do these days; blame somebody else and take none of the responsibility to gain empathy.

You may think i'm overanalysing by judging a guy from a couple of news articles, but I know these people and they are nothing more than scum. I feel sorry for the kids more than the taxpayers. Not only do they have shameful role models for parents but they have to do it tough simply because a guy with a bad back wanted a root but couldn't afford condoms because he blew all 'his' money on ciggies and booze.

On the other hand I do know many people who receive their centrelink payment deservingly and I guarantee you this guy is not one of them.

Take from the "rich" and give to the "poor"...

Lip licking Kev will save 'em.

[balthazarr]

I think the whole system needs to be reformed...

I know of someone who hasn't worked a day in his life. There's nothing wrong with him, he's just a lazy . He has two kids, and I feel sorry for them. The majority of his money is blown on smokes, alcohol, drugs and the pokies, while the kids make do with the bare essentials.

I have no problem with people drinking, smoking, gambling, etc., but if their kids are missing out because of it, it's unacceptable. Especially when it's taxpayer funded. If you want to smoke, drink, gamble, etc., go out and earn your money.

Social security should not give out cash, recipients should have their bills paid for them, and be provided with vouchers they can use at supermarkets for food and essential groceries.

OT, but the same would apply to child support and spousal support payments - rather than cash, the parent would be required to contribute directly towards the relevant bills.

Amen to that. But let's not forget that there is a whole industry of inbred scum that procreate just for money. I remember doing work experience with my brother in law who was a builder when I was in year 11 at school; out at the housing commission in Macquarie Fields. We were changing window winders and door locks with the company he worked for. Anyway, I still remember to this day the amount of homes we would go into and find the stench of stale smoke, filth and the whole family sitting around watching tv. This was every second home mind you.

i know what your saying . the belief out there is that yougo and work and most workers only know that , cause they are at work. ever wondered why so many are in shops and everywhere daily? small % are rostereed days off let me tell you.
there are whole suburbs of families who do not work. and never have . it's a way of life . they know no differant . many many are simply mentally ok and physically moderate , but IQ lacking, seriously. most people have an aunt that they could never imagine having a job. and know families that dont work. most of them are identifyable too. by there lack of dress sense. trackies and unstyled hair , with cigs, prams etc .
a very huge proportion of people are like this .
us workers are so used to it , we dont even notice .

Exactly mate, but if you go to some places where there is a high welfare dependency like the central coast, you will see girls that look like they're 18 pushing a pram whilst also heavily pregnant with another. I was sitting at the lights in Cessnock and heard this woman launch a tirade on what I'm assuming is her boyfriend. Out of the 20 or so words she shouted, 4 were not swear words. My sister has a friend like this who has never worked, and has 5 kids to 4 different men. When asked why on earth anyone would be so irresponsible she actually responded with; "Well the guvment gives ya f##ken munny aye, so ya know, ya need the munny and is easy". Honestly, these people are low life vermin.

i understand what your saying , but you are putting a lot of people in this catagory. lots of peoples grandmothers for example . if you take the money off these people they will simply become homeless, as in 3rd world countries , you dont work, you dont eat, how many live in cardboard boxes . many so called normal people simply cannot work. i know its hard to believe , but if you look at the whole population of australia . including kids , pensioners, dissability,social security, housewives, mums dads , elderly etc . not a high number are employed . i'm not making excuses for them , but i cannot see aunt my aunt getting a job now at 50. these people believe they earn theyre money just by waking up. i think the only fix. would be to stop paying people on benifits ( not really) that will just create sickness despair, depression for a whole lot more than a minority party. ( very sad , but very true).
people dont have kids because they get a fortnightly cheque. look at somalia and africa.

[The Monty]

I have a missus and two kids. I earn $650 a week, missus gets $202. Thats $852 a week, $1704 a fortnight.
I am paying off a house, I go through over $100 in fuel a week to get to work, I pay all my insurances and dont recieve any discounts.
We scrape through every week, and we have a wedding in a few weeks that we are paying for ourselves.
Never have I once complained about not getting enough. There are a lot of people out there on a lot less money doing it a lot tougher.
His house payment and kids travel expenses taken into account, this guy still has PLENTY of money to pay bills etc.
People like him make me sick, and I wont associate myself with them.


In saying that though, I hurt my back and was off work for a week (nothing major) and I was still able to make love to my missus, I just couldnt be on top, and couldnt move much. Its possible to do (missus only weighs 38kg though), so just because he has a back problem doesnt mean he cant make love.

I do think also that he has made the wrong decision with his wife, in having another kid. If you cant afford them, dont have them, thats why Africa is like it is. Use condoms ffs.

MUUUUAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!! LOL . GREAT POST MATE .

[schnoods]

haha well said The Monty!

Its a shame that the gaps in society is widening and differences in classes of people (regarding work) is getting more distinct.


He probably earns more now than he did before, Im sure he could of become a Bus driver, truck driver of some sort, even sorting through mail or something.
Even a part time job working 10-15 hrs a week working in a newsagency and then getting the rest supplememented, but no...


I take nothing from society, but because of people like him, I contribute as little as possible....

Sorry mate, but I mean those that breed because they get paid for it, and have spent all their lives on welfare.

[EDManual]

I get less than that too. in fact $1342 before tax a fortnight!... and have a mortgage of $1100 a month, have a wife at uni who gets $30 a fortnight austudy, and is doing free charity work when she can tutoring african kids spending our money on petrol and phone to get there and organise things and thats fine.
We have a car, internet, are having a baby, rates are over $1000 a year, gas, phone, power are getting more expensive.

Anyway, we get by. Not really saving anything though!

[InfernoSR]

2 weeks ago today i lost my job in the Engineering sector... I have been advised yesterday by Centrelink that i am eligable for the Newstart allowance and rent assistance... to a whopping grand total of about $511 a fortnight... i pay $480/fortnight in rent alone... really works for those who try their best to avoid unemployment...

Oh, and in this 2 weeks, i have talked to 9 different businesses, had 5 resume's go out, 1 interview and 1 EOI in part time contract work... for that last reason, i am planning on starting my own business whilst working full time elsewhere...

[bluebloodxr8]

We should get together and donate some money to this poor unfortunate individual and his struggeling family.
then possibly he could get a hair cut.... Bloody oxygen thief.

[GT69]

I for one would like to donate hope and encouragement.

Can i have a tax receipt though, i wish to claim it back from the tax office. Though i do believe (as a worker) by the time my hope and encouragement gets passed through the system, it comes back as a bill and payment date.

[Thankfull]

Hey....you want a good laugh guys....

I am a dick head weed sprayer ! fancy that ! after tax I make $612-00 a week, and all I do all day is drive around in a company vehicle spraying weeds.

What a great conversation point at a party....I spray weeeeeeeds.

Yet for the last 11 years I have lived Defacto with a school teacher who owns her property (Mortgage paid off years ago) and who makes about $800-00 a week after tax.

I notice in Public some people tend to look down on what I do for employment, yet in recent times when reflecting on my life, I came to relise the Global economic reccessions do not affect my kind of employment or that of my partners....so I guess I count myself lucky or blessed in that regard.

I say blessed because I am also a Christian....not a Church goer....I am more a doer of the word....I sponser 3 kids (and as a result their families) through World Vision, they where all kids in desperate at risk for any sort of future life situations.

Last week an opportunity arose in my life to buy a series 1 BA FPV GT with only 51,000 ks on the clock....not the sort of car that you would think that a Christian would buy.

Yet as I hummed and harred over this, a little voice inside my mind spoke....

I died that you may live....

That was all I needed to hear, so I dived in the deep end and am now the proud owner of my first Falcon GT...a boyhood dream full filled.

Any regrets...? not so far anyways....
My first petrol refill at our local service station, a young Italian guy came walking over to me as I was filling the petrol tank and said...

Noice Car Mate....sounds wicked ! (note my spelling on Nice was how he pronounced it not a typo error on my part here)

Also I found out today from our National operations manager, that as I leave work each day, many of the office staff have been comming to the front of the building where the company car park is, so they can listen to the sound of the performance exhaust as I drive off on my way home from work.

I must admit....it does sound wicked.

Cheers all

[ltd]

Thankful, well done mate on your purchase and you congrats on listening to that little voice.
