Re: Political rants here!
Like, what the fuck. I have a Bachelor degree AND a Graduate Diploma. I can't fucking find a job (and still live at home - at the moment, I'm doing a diploma course to add new skills, then will probably end up self-employed because NO ONE IS HIRING). I DO have a work history - but only because my aunt hired me at her shop for a little while. My brother got FIRST CLASS HONOURS and is still working as a casual because there aren't enough jobs for him to get a permanent position. His girlfriend, who also has a degree she did well in, also only has a part-time, casual job. The two of them are struggling and so Mum has been supplementing their rent until they can get better positions.
It is not goddamn easy to get a job.
Like, holy fuck. There's going to be a new underclass of unemployed under-30s who are HOMELESS because they're not getting a single cent until they've been somehow magically able to survive for half a year with absolutely NOTHING - and they're still going to have to pay money they don't have if they get sick!
Someone needs to fire Abbott, kick him out of his home, give him the typical resume of a school-leaver, and see how long he's able to survive without getting unemployment.
(Which they're freezing, anyway. It's not like Newstart wasn't already fucking unlivable on, try surviving somewhere like Sydney on $250 a week... Thanks heaps, you utter fuckwit!)

(Anonymous) 2014-05-14 03:29 am (UTC)(link)OH MY GOD SO MUCH THIS.
They have no fucking concept of how fucking hard the job market is right now.
A year ago, I went for an interview for a goddamn PART-TIME JOB at a clothes store in a shopping mall, which pretty much involves folding clothes and smiling a lot. They had THREE LEVELS of interview stages, a group interview, and a PHONE INTERVIEW for a fucking retail job for teenagers.
god, and the fact that none of those lazy, entitled parasites running the country have ever gone through what our youth are going through. my parents went to university FOR FREE. they mortgaged a house at 2-3x the average wage
now? university is going to be debt-laden, no guarantees of finding a job straight away, and a mortgage is 8-10x the average wage
OH YES LET'S HAVE A US-STYLE EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, BECAUSE THAT'S WORKING SO WELL FOR THEM OVER THERE, AMIRITE?
i can't wait for all these baby boomers to die off already. if anyone's a parasite leaching off taxpayer money, it's them.
and they have the goddamn nerve to call US selfish, narcissistic and lazy. i'd like to see some of them try to live on Newstart, or work a poorly paid hospitality or retail job on their feet from 9-5 with no breaks.
hahaha not to mention, they're cutting all these social services (why else do we pay the government, if not to provide basic fucking services like medical care jesus christ) - do you know what the social impact will be? from cutting really important shit like that?
increased poverty, homelessness, crime, social dysfunction, family breakdown, unemployment cycle, i could go on. and guess what? all these things cost money! so in the long run, they're creating massive social problems that will be EXPENSIVE to fix.
fucking fuck fuck fuck.
