Welfare Bludgers

69XWGT · 08-02-2011, 10:54 AM

I know this guy that is ripping off the system.

He supposedly has a bad back and is on a disability pension, but goes to work on a casual basis with a bloke that is a carpet layer and carries full rolls of carpet into houses.
When he not working laying carpet he is out fishing often throwing a cast net for Prawns(which he sells) for hours on end or out pulling crab pots(which he sells as well). The limit for crab pots is 4 per person and yet this grub has around 30 pots sunk.

He also breeds and sells finches

He is a pothead and small time pot seller.

He is a mate of mate.

He's just bludging on the rest of the Australian society that goes to work and pays taxes.

Should i call Centrelink and or the police??

ch33z1l · 08-02-2011, 10:58 AM

Would he suspect you of dobbing him in?

This thread will really enrage the masses...

69XWGT · 08-02-2011, 11:18 AM

To top it off , i forgot to mention that he also lives at home with his pensioner mother and dole bludging brother who has said on more than one occassion that he isn't interested in working.

ch33z1l , probably not, but i have mentioned it to another mate that i reckon he's a bludger and should dob him in.

EL_Monty · 08-02-2011, 11:19 AM

and being a pensioner he is exempt from a fishing license while everyone else has to cough up to fish when time permits.

EFPWR · 08-02-2011, 11:20 AM

report him to centrelink at least.. they may require him to prove his 'disability'.

Dob the lot in Mate, Nothing worse than dole bludging scum that dont want to work. Could understand some that are on a pension for an illness although alot would be taking the **** out of the system. Makes me sick to know I have to support some ****** that cant get off his lazy *** and get a job.

pottery beige · 08-02-2011, 11:24 AM

yeah dob him in..... then come on here and whinge about the price of crabs and how hard it is to score pot.........

These are the perfect candidates for National Service. I reckon it would cost the same to house these people in a gaol as it would to train them to become a soldier, but that training would actually benefit our society and the person.

You spend ten years in the Defence Force and that criminal record you were so worried about disappears...

i'd try blackmail first. get some tough kids from the street to pay him a visit asking for protection money & supplies. if all goes to plan you'll have plenty of crabs to snack on while you have the munchies while rolling around on your nice new carpet.

He seems to be doing a lot of things with his time. He may as well just get a full time job, or like somebody said, join the army.

Good to hear how mine and your tax dollars are going to good use. Gives you such a warm feeling doesn't it. * sarcasm off! *

Sounds like another "the world owes me everything, I owe it nothing" type of person. Report him. If he was doing the right thing, he would have nothing to worry about.

I give it 6 months before he comes up with another scam. People like this never learn.

blueoval · 08-02-2011, 12:07 PM

Better yet, post up his living address and let people on here decide whats best. LOL

Better still why don't you call TodayTonite/ACA they love this stuff.

They'll do the dirty work for you and you can watch it with a smug sense of satisfaction, all this without ever having to leave the comfort of your lounge room chair.

Just think of all the LoL's you and your mates will have in the future.

Man I wish I knew a few welfare cheats.

Whenever I hear a sentence beginning with "I know a guy" my urban myth detector goes...

XR6_661 · 08-02-2011, 12:29 PM

Or just not do anything about it. He's made his choice to do the wrong thing and it'll bite him in the coight.

SEZ213 · 08-02-2011, 12:44 PM

The question is - will Centrelink care?

The short answer is probably not.

The people who might care however, are the fisheries department...the old man worked in fisheries for ages...good part about it, is for anything that's not legal, they take your boat, your nets, your equipment - the lot...just gotta catch them in the act...

Then call Centrelink, or perhaps the fisheries will do it for you - government departments love to talk between themselves.

GOOD LUCK!

69XWGT · 08-02-2011, 01:32 PM

Well i'm not into pot so black mailing him for that would be a waste of time and my next door neighbour is a pro crabber so i don't have to worry about a feed of mud crabs to often

In QLD it's illegal to sink your pots without a rope, float and identification.
He was caught by fisheries and then said i'm just a poor pensioner and only have a couple pots like this and it stops people stealing them. They let him go without even a warning. Yet the neighbour who does it legally is harrassed by fisheries on a regular basis.

I'm over oxygen thieves like this. Today i'm calling centrelink and when the crabbing returns to normal after the fresh water clears out i'll be ringing fisheries.

I don't have a problem with anybody that is genuinely unemployed or has any sort of disability stopping them from working but cretins like this , i've had a gutfull of em.

FPV8U · 08-02-2011, 01:35 PM

Plenty of people like this out there..

I say dob them in, every last one of them, just hope centrelink has the stones to do something about it.

CFOUR · 08-02-2011, 01:43 PM

kick him in the spine, then he will need the pension.

Note the above statement is for humerus purposes, I myself have a bad back and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

XYGTHO · 08-02-2011, 01:47 PM

Yep dob him in. I to hate this going on and the slime that do it.

trippytaka · 08-02-2011, 01:47 PM

Just report him.

pottery beige · 08-02-2011, 01:55 PM

baaaaaawaaaaa..ya all a bunch of dibber dobbers.....

XR6_661 · 08-02-2011, 02:25 PM

I'm gonna report your post. Off topic. How dare you.

Pis-ton broke · 08-02-2011, 02:40 PM

punch the sh.. poo out of him, steal his pot and craps, and tell him to get a job.

Maybe that's your problem, try lighting up to lighten up.

dave289 · 08-02-2011, 03:00 PM

May as well get the noose out and be done with it. Crabbing should be good this season.

Lotte · 08-02-2011, 03:04 PM

People like this are what makes it harder for people who really struggle, to survive. I have mates who are genuinely in need of the disability pension, and its taken years to get htme on ther
Back in my student days I even had doctors treat me like **** because they saw I was on a Health Care card, and the words were "it's my tax dollars paying for it, not yours".

Dob em in, to everyone that's relevant. Best case scenario, a federal investigation will occur because they're intentionally defrauding the government.
Worst case, nothing will happen and our taxes will continue to fund their drug addictions.
Most likely? Somewhere in the middle, centrelink will investigate, and potentially take him off disability pension, and make him find a job.

93EB_SXR6 · 08-02-2011, 03:14 PM

Dob him in. I have to work for my money, so why should he get off scott free!?

*please note: work sucks in summer*

Once all the flood waters have gone.
All the muddies are out of the creeks and the bay in SE QLD
Sand crabs or blue swimmers for our friends down south are only being caught near Stradebroke and Moreton Island where the water is nice and clean

Should turn this bludger into crab bait
