Scenario;
Work 70hrs week
Sleep in a donga that would make the average prison cell look like a VIP suite
Work 12+hrs day in 42+ degree heat
No phone service
A wet mess is your social scene
Daily drug and alcohol screening
The fashion scene is a pretty standard affair --- steel caps , long drill pants , long sleeve shirts (bright orange / flouro green), stack hat , safety glasses , earplugs >>>>>>> real catwalk stuff!!! { add another 40kg gear for underground!}

Sure it's all about choices but the points are valid .
Have no doubt some of us work hard long hours , often suffer relationship breakups and often pay dearly physically later in life.
This downturn in the economy has left many of us without jobs at virtually a moments notice and many like us who don't (and there will be a percentage) bounce back immediately , will have earned a bit of support from the aussie tax payer till we get back on their feet .

Q; What has the average outer suburban dole bludger done for your country???


Food for thought

each case needs to be taken on its merits, if i needed too claim i would like to be able get something back from the tens of thousands i have paid in tax over the years, and im sure there are families out there in this situation.
