Wow, way to lose Australia.

Don't forget your "Sponsored by Centrelink" car sticker on the way out!

 

Man. The effort some people put in to have non consensual sex with our welfare system is actually a bit of an eye opener. The work/smarts involved in PROPERLY rorting the system, and the fact that it can be done, on a pure practical level puts the blame back onto the system itself. Of course, morally it is wrong to be on Tony Abbott's Surf Team.

 

But I'm whatever. If you're gonna get over, get over.

No. Soccer does not speak for Australia.

I'm proud of the fact that I've never been on Centrelink.

 

Only time I've even been into a branch was to pick up some brochures for work and that depressed me enough!

 

Katie had to go on it many moons ago because she was studying and had no money. She worked for 2 years at a law firm to save up enough cash to pay for her 12 month, $16k course.

Good stuff Nagrom... I can say I've never been on Centrelink either...

Tis a good feeling

[Adam]

If I could get centrelink payments I would. And if I was to get this apprenticeship I would be getting Rach to apply for payments because she is a student.

If you are entitled to it why not?

[skillionaire]

No shame in it. 

 

I've never been on it, but wouldn't be embarrassed to say if I had. I have plenty of friends who require assistance in different situations. 

[Harry88]

I'm trying to get on it now to try and get help finding work.

I was on it about 8 years ago when I was at tafe and didn't have a part time job.

It's a fantastic system if you need it. It's just a downer that so many people misuse it.

 

My sister just signed up. I think she's now in her 4th year of study? A few Coles shifts a week simply cannot cut it.

 

Same with Kt. Her course was 9-5, 5 days a week. There is zero time to be employed!

[Adam]

Yeah the misuse is the unfortunate part!

The people that misuse it, generally need it though. The people that properly scam the system for long term PROFIT are very rare.

 

People lying about spouse arrangements and what not is pretty common, who would declare anything unless you're married? Fuckthat noise.

[Adam]

I think Rach did when she applied a little while back. But we own the house together e.t.c.


THAT BURGER

[Morgan]

They 'need' it because they can't be bothered looking for employment. They see the cash coming in while they sit back and do nothing. That's the only thing I agreed with Tracey Grimshaw about - remember those Brisbane girls who were laughing about being on Centrelink payments and not having jobs or studying or anything. Yet they had iPhones and nice clothes, etc.

 

Then ACA followed them into a job interview for a clothes store. SHE HAD ZERO TALKING SKILLS!!! No idea how to relate to people because she's never had to before.

 

Stupid people!

[skillionaire]

Not a fan of egg on burgers, but that's because I'm such a slow eater more than anything.

[skillionaire]

So they are unemployable? We could scrap welfare and have the country turn to squallor!

It's not like you can just go and get a job. Adam is fuckin qualified and assertive, and he is having trouble finding a jerb!

[Adam]

Yeah I'm not a fan either. I just don't like the flavour it brings to the table.

What the fuck. Since when were there so many infomercial channels on FTA tv!!!!?
