Then out of that 7% how many of those are abusing the system? Insignificant figure but easy target to prey on and create propaganda for. |

There is more than 7% here Big D. And they do not mention the many who are on a pension, who are not old and who are quite capable of working. Once again, this figure is not small or insignificant. This is a rort. Why should they be allowed to vote, as the only party they'll vote for is the ones who will give them the most for doing nothing...

superyob - I am 100% with you on holding a dim view of system rorters, they are parasites.
However, with regard to the long-term unemployed (who are rorting the system) & their right to vote, it's codifying who can/cannot vote based on personal opinion, which basically boils down to discrimination. |

Let's assume that 100% of those long-term unemployed were honest when surveyed: Quote:
Coincidentally the town of Moe has a population of 16,300, and the town of Traralgon has a population just shy of 25k 16,300 + 25,700 = 42,000 42,000 / 24.3M = 0.17% of the population could be long-term unemployed rorters. http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@....ures20Sep+2011 |

That made my head hurt Ghia5L but thanks for your input.
42000 is still enough to unduly influence an election by people who are siphoning 18480000 dollars every week. (42000x$440 assuming they have all reached their ultimate goal of pension permanency) Also on the ABS site is the statement that you can't be counted as unemployed if you have worked 1 hour during the week. I do not trust the way they collate their statistics and I believe they are lying to us with rubbery figures about who gets what because the outcry would be huge if the figures were represented in a truthful manner. I think they would show a larger wealth siphon than we can comprehend... To the rest of the forum: My original question was not about how many fit this category but their voting rights. With the response of some, maybe my next question could be about whether unicorns fart flower petals and we can all hold hands and agree that they do while singing kumbyah... |

$55m over 6 months is $2,115,385 every week. There are 150 MPs, meaning they're spending an average of $42,300 EACH per week. On top of that their income is paid with taxpayer money also. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-0...uments/7809062 And we all know politicians are a pack of useless ****s. b0son - your statement is automatically true once a single indigenous Aussie rorts the system. |

That sort of money will not keep you warm in winter. Who would want to live like that by choice? But hey, it's much easier to label people like that parasites and brush them under the carpet. We are an advanced society in Australia are we not?
