Do You Agree With This?

I certainly agree!

Message from a hard working Aussie

I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay cheque, as I work on a mine site on a Kalgoorlie (WA) construction project, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a Centerlink Payment because I have to pass one to earn it for them?? Please understand - I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their backsides drinking grog and smoking dope. Could you imagine how much money the Government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a Centerlink Payment???? Please pass this along if you agree, or simply ignore if you don't. Hope you all will pass it along though, because something has to change in this country, and soon!

I work in the office at our local Council and I too have to pass a random urine test. This year I've had two random tests, and I fully agree with this guy about something having to change. I know "generations" of Centrelink payment recipients. The parents get a pension, the kids end up on the dole and later on end up collecting a pension too. Sometimes that is a disability pension, and that disability is their drug addiction. Somehow that just seems like twisted logic.
