Plus we import too much trash culture from the US (like our own form of Big Brother).
Big Brother was from the Netherlands.

I think they need to invest in some PR to be honest...They really need to work on their image, but di Natale doesn't seem interested.
I agree with that sentiment but there are major issues that both main parties are complicit in either not addressing or underhandedly promoting.
All the large corporations have been allowed to lay off local Australian workers and outsource functions to cheap resources overseas. To some extent this is unavoidable.
But both main parties have also allowed record numbers of permanent immigrants and many more on skills shortage visas. Walk into any back office for a large company and you will see predominantly Indians. Even government roles are being resourced by Indian companies who fudge the skills shortage test in order to import and supply cheap labour. The irony/joke is that the market has become so flooded that often hundreds of locally qualified people are applying for roles that are deemed 'skilled shortage'. Wages increases (apart from government jobs) have stagnated.
As for financial assistance and help in finding work - I'm familiar with the Swiss system. It is efficient and it treats people like human beings. It supports people respectfully in their time when they are out of work. On the other hand, Australian Centrelink is a disgrace. The system is impenetrable and very frustrating. I am a calm, intelligent person but there have been times I have been shouting at the computer screen or automated phone menu.
I don't think 'all the Indians I've talked to' stands up as any reasonable research, you sound like you don't like Indians as you're stereotyping all Indians with individual cases.Poor post.All the Indians I have talked to have done some bulls**t degree in IT and bingo, permanent residence visa. Go into any servo, jump into a taxi, Indians and now truck driving. Parcel post all Indians. 2 truck driving schools in Perth have been busted for taking bribes, the ******s can't drive so they drop $10,000 into the instructors lap.
WA truck driving school dished out 678 ‘fake licences’
Vehicle licensing inspector handed a serious misconduct opinion by watchdog.thewest.com.au
Before the usual turn up and call me a racist, the Indians I know are all from rich families and seem like decent hard working conservative voters.
Just needed 2 confirm you were being an Ahole, cheersWhat do you think the implication is?

Agree with boosting newstart it's just too low but what the hell are you on about with complaining over fixing a situation where pensioners are obviously not getting a fair deal here? I'm still only in my 30s but we are all gonna get old one day mate..Predictable and pathetic stuff.
Makes you wonder exactly what it would take for an Australian gov to raise Newstart.
Christ even the rodent said it’s too low.
But nah, let’s give more to those poor perpetually hard done by in there own mind pensioners.
Pension boost for 600,000 by Christmas
The federal government will lower the deeming rate for more than half a million pensioners before the end of the year.www.afr.com
Remember what happened to Duncan Storrar?
Meanwhile in Cambodia...the only safety net is a fishing net

I like to think Australia has a bit more going for it then a third world s**t hole like Cambodia.
... so, because Cambodia's s**t, Australians aren't allowed to discuss their own homelessness, their own poverty, or the fact that the safety net designed to catch them should iniquity strike in the form of joblessness or recession is being dismantled slowly via inaction?You could choose 90% of the planet, same principle.
So easy to whinge from a chair at a coffee shop in one of the most privileged countries in the world.

Seems legit.

Or, alternatively, I'm not ignoring the poverty at home whilst reaping the benefits of my own affluence.You need to travel a bit. Cambodia and like you conveniently ignored up to 90% of the world's population don't have $20aud in their bank accounts. And you're whining about the unfairness of government hand-outs

Again, this isn't about me, not anymore; I have 2 jobs now. I'm not 'whinging', either; my knowledge of the newstart and jobactive system is based both on my own experience of it and what I've observed with other people. And I return to the blatant illogic of your argument: saying '90% of the world's population don't have $20 AUS in their bank accounts' whilst true doesn't invalidate the fact that by most measures the Newstart payment is too low, and the WFTD and the Jobactive system created to support it is both a money and a time sink that doesn't result in the unemployed getting jobs, instead wasting time that could be better spent elsewhere reskilling.
You make it sound like it's an apocalypse.
Sure the most vulnerable people in society should be looked after.
A question, if Newstart is too low which it probably is, what is the number it *should* be at?

I make it sound like it's a problem because it is. Glad to see we at least agree that a) the most vulnerable people should be looked after, and b) the Newstart payment is too low.You make it sound like it's an apocalypse.
