cause thats, like it or not, part of the australian way. has been for decades.
and before anyone gets all emotional baggage about that, they need to know that we are pretty much the laziest country (employment wise) there is. its a fact. look @ germany and most of europe, super efficient workforce, not third-world by any stretch, breed good work ethic due to political stances against unemployment among other things. Australians have a documented history of taking more 'sickies' than multiple european countries combined. whom have higher populations that us.
the 'why work for it when you can get it for free' motto is lived by here alot.
but, my question is - why should we who support ourselves successfully, be forced to support those that won't willfully support themselves?
