What about those calling centerlink to sort of maternity leave because their employer screwed them out of job whilst pregnant? What about people who were stood down cause of the economy and needing support to get back on their feet? Also, and hear me out on this one, what about you not being a fuckhead?

If most cunts got jobs wait times would be less for actual use cases.
You can’t tell me you don’t know of someone on the doll who’s capable of working but doesn’t

Genuinely? No. I dont. I don’t know anyone on the doll at all. My own interactions with centerlink have been extremely limited but all legitimate and I get screwed like everyone else seems to.
I’m not saying people don’t rort the system. I’m not saying that we shouldnt do something about those that do. I am saying people are falling through the gaps who have a genuine need and thats a real issue, but your focus seems to be more on those doing the wrong thing and ignoring those who need help!
Hence, kindly, I suggest you get some perspective and stop making love to your own skull!

Wow! Why didn’t they think of that???
You’re becoming a bit of a revolutionary here! Maybe you should figure out how to solve world hunger next…

Honestly, the majority of people I know on Centrelink CHOOSE to work minimal hours, but are fully capable of working full time… Or, simply choose not to work because they want a specific job
That doesn’t apply to everyone (I know tradies with silicosis now as an example who were CRAZY hard workers but can’t work). And I know people with genuine mental issues who need more help there
There is definitely a lot of abuse in the system as it stands unfortunately and making Centrelink less of an inconvenience doesn’t really make a lot of sense…
They’d be far better off spending that money on mental health funding, or Parks VIC (our parks at the moment are mainly supported by volunteers)

there is abuse of the NDIS too, but what do we do, stuff the NDIS participants and throw the baby out with the bathwater?
Needs to be managed a shit ton better, I agree. But we cant screw those who are vulnerable who are doing the right thing for “justice”.

Are we actually screwing people though, or simply inconveniencing them though? They can still get in contact… Just not as quickly.
That’s my point imho

I hope you’re a bot, because otherwise one day you’ll need it and when you do I wish you a thousand delays just to pay with karma your shitty behavior
Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Nah not a bot, just someone who’s worked their whole life and can’t see why we should support laziness.
But you’re such a nice person, wishing I’ll on others certainly something that would bring about positive Karma I’m sure.
