But what you don't grasp mate is that the law states that NO ONE is allowed to do drugs. It doesn't say if you're poor you can't do drugs but rich people can. It says that different substances are illegal within Australia.
It also goes the other way remember, you're saying that just because they can't get a job, or don't WANT to get a job that the law shouldn't apply to them.
As a law abiding citizen, if i step onto a mine site and i test positive to an illegal drug then I loose my job.
Its not a dictatorship, its a civilised society. Its a law alot of bleeding hearts don't agree with, and because its hard or not fair it gets call inumane or fascism or any number of things. But no, its a society law, that EVERYONE has to abide by.
And you did read your tax return graph to see where the money is being spent didnt you? Over 60% of the money you earn and pay in taxes goes to social welfare projects. I would LOVE to see that money go to schools, or hospitals or debt reduction. But those on Welfare go BALLISTIC if anyone even thinks about trying to make them get a job and get off the welfare system.
Australia is a nation of bone lazy buggers that are too accustomed to letting the suckers that work pay for everything. Its unsustainable.
But we've gone well off the track of my initial topic.
Don't get me wrong @gobba.handcrafts , I agree with most of what you say. I live in an area with a high unemployment rate & from what I see the majority of them just live for drugs, all funded by taxpayers. Most of them don't deserve oxygen, let alone a lifelong handout.
I still think it's a slippery slope when you class everyone who is unemployed as a bludger, sure many of them certainly are, maybe even the majority are but not all of them.
You believe the country is being bled dry from the bottom, I believe that's just a fraction of what we are missing out from foreign corporations who pay hardly any tax and cook the books to send their money offshore ie glencore, facebook, twitter, google to name just a few.
You say it's a society law but these laws are made by corporations, our government is a corporation as is the ATO and our police forces. We haven't had a real government since whitlam signed the country up to UNIDROIT and hawke finished the job when the country started trading on the USSEC
Personally I think most of our laws are complete BS as they don't even have proclamation certificates to make them legal. The whole legal system is setup to keep people ignorant and trick them into consent so they can steal money off them.
