I agree!

+2, totally agree, I think this would probably half our welfare budget, however it will never happen, again too many vested interests in keeping Welfare going.

I thought the piss test was all about being safe on the job? It is your choice to work in the industry and submit to a pee test.just go on welfare and you don't have to hey?
Also, not everyone has profited from the mining boom. for some its a boom, for others a bust. Some would argue that the 'mining boom' has widened the gap between high and low socio-economic groups, thereby placing more pressure on the welfare system. Don't see how a wee test would alleviate this and I would suspect make things even harder for those trying to get back on their feet.
Alcoholism is a real disease its not a coincidence that it is a common disease in those people on the margin of our society.

hahah stuffed up the link.

Re: Urine testing for Centrelink recipients

Thank you for you suggestions regarding urine testing of welfare recipients.

We agree with you, however as you know urine testing is not free (approx $30),
and to be fair we would have to have all 4 million recipents tested 7 days a week.

The total cost of the testing would be approximately $800 million per week.

This will require increased taxes to cover the $40 billion per annum.

Please sign the attached form confirming your request for urine testing welfare recipients and permission to increase your tax rate by 10% to cover the cost of your proposal.

Thank you for being part of the democratic process.

Regards

Not sure of his name and the exact wording escapes me but a famous french Philospher once said;
" I would not trust a man who has not belived in communism by the time he reached 25. However I would not trust a man who still believes when he is 35".

Pretty well sums it up for me.

I find about every 10 years or so, I take a jump to the left, then a step to the right

Yeah, me too. And then put my hands on my hips.

Except, as I get older I find I have no hips.

^^^ In an effort to assist Laurie, I looked to google for suitable images.

2 hours later I hadn't found anything suitable, but let's just say it was 2 hours well spent.

Are boobs left or right wing, or are they just breast
