Wow things are getting bad here in Australia, at the next budget the government is bringing in a new policy where unemplyed and pensioners are going to be forced to look for jobs and forced to take them.
Don't get me wrong I agree with the long term unemployed being forced to take jobs, and any unemployed oever a certain time (say a year or so) to be drug tested at regular interviews, but hitting pensioners is going to far. There are some that lie about it but there are a lot that are genuinely sick, I am one of them. I can walk to the shop at the end of the street most days at my pace, can even mow the lawn a couple times a year but that's it, I can't go out in public much as I am highly allergic to most things scented, especially perfumes, deoderants etc. How many places are safe from scents? very few. On top of that I am a grand mal epileptic and Insulin dependant diabetic. And I am supposed to get a job, yeah right.
If I was lucky enough to get one, it would have to be a real good wage to cover all my medications, this is the same fear most disabled pensioners are thinking, medications cost alot, but if you have to take a few it is very expensive
Juliar Gillard, grow up, get your head out your but and see how you are harming the people.
