Back when Centrelink was still the DSS, my mother worked for the then equivalent of a JSA as a case manager. They would literally drive some of their clients to a job interview, as well as providing clothing for work (safety boots, dress pants, etc). From what she was telling me, they were held much more accountable back then than the JSA's are now. Having been on the books of a JSA back in 2002-2004, they do sweet gently caress all. They MIGHT give you something small to help (I got a multitrip for the Adelaide transit network to get to interviews) but overall they just pocket what they can. When I started uni, they asked me if I'd sign something to say they helped me get my uni placement, I told them to shove it.

Also, the JSA I was at back in the early 00's made me do some lovely "resume" thing, which was a horrible looking word document that my existing resume shat all over. I showed the guy the resume I'd made at home and he agreed that I should just use that instead. Excellent use of resources there, guys. Fanatic posted:Then they will compare how many hundreds of games they have purchased on Steam followed by complaining that they can't afford a $7 co-payment. Lol Steam stats. If anyone looked at mine, it's like over 2,500 hours and some crazy amount of money spent on Steam. The funny part of this is that I've only really used Steam in the last 5 years, which is funnily enough when I started working full time and have been working so to the present day. Maybe I just choose to spend my money on games rather than either going out and pissing away a few hundred on booze every weekend or getting into crazy levels of personal debt like a lot of my co-workers seem to do.

Usually coming to this thread makes me so depressed, I stay away. Haven't been doing that for the past few days, so I thought I'd lighten everyone's mood (including my own) and share a little story of mine. Remember when I was volunteering helping the asylum seeker family? I stopped doing it (had no funds for petrol at the time), and received a phone call at work just the other day. It was the father of the family, who I hadn't talked to in about twelve months. He had a lot to say, though what stood out was his greatly improved English - he can talk without having to pause and think about his words, and has reached a stage where anyone off the street could understand him clearly. He is working six days a week as a labourer, a field he wanted to continue to work in. His children are still attending school, and they are doing very well. The eldest one is in high school now. Just thought I'd share it with you guys.

Remember last week when the media was talking about what a lovely clown man Brandis was, and the next day's Coalition Talking Points instructed the partymen to note that Brandis had a "great intellect" and then there were identical quotes from like three different tories on the same day about the mighty intellect of Brandis the philosopher king.

THIS IS OUR COUNTRY! I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, God fearing Australian. I am a hardworking Australian and I work long hours to earn a living. I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others. I drive Australian-made cars, and I believe in Australian products and buy them whenever I can. I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some bloody governmental functionary, Labor/Greens or Liberal, that wants to share it with others who don't work! I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way! I think owning a home doesn't make you a capitalist; it makes you a smart Australian. I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it! I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English. I believe there should be no other language option. I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to. My heroes are, fellow Australians like Don Bradman, Steve Waugh, Alan Langer, Slim Dusty, Fred Hollows and the Aussie scientists who invented the bionic ear - missed a few I know. I don't hate the rich, but hate the way they always find ways to pay less taxes. I don't pity the poor, I hate the way they are always crying that they are hard done by!! I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it. I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AUSTRALIA....We like it the way it is and more so the way it was...so stop trying to change it to look like some other socialist country! If you were born or legally migrated here and don't like it... You are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you. I want to know exactly, where the "Do Gooder's" get their money from, and why are they always part of the problem and not the solution? I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what race, colour or creed you are, but not just because you happen to be an illegal alien and scream that they are "RACISTS PIGS". And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's licence. I think it's good.... I dislike those people standing at the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause....Get a job and do your part to support yourself and your family! I believe that it doesn't take all the intellectuals to raise a child, it takes two parents.... I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think! I believe the Australian flag should be the only ones allowed to be flown in Australia! If this makes me a BAD Australian, then yes, I'm a BAD Australian. If you are a BAD Australian too, please forward this to everyone you know.... We want our country back! My Country..... I hope this offends all illegal aliens. My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Boer War. My grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in World Wars 1 and 2. My grandfather watched as his friends and brothers died in the Depression of 32. My father watched as his friends died in Korea. I watched as my friends died in Vietnam, East Timor & Desert Storm. Our son's and daughters watched and bled as their friends died in Afghanistan and Iraq. None of them died for the Afghanistan and Iraq Flag. Every Australian died for the Australian flag. Our young folk should show far more respect for our elders who have fought for our freedom and worked so drat hard for the huge benefits that we all now share. At a Victorian high school foreign students raised a Middle East flag on a school flag pole. Australian students took it down. Guess who was expelled...the students who took it down. West Australian high school students were sent home, because they wore T-shirts with the Australian flag printed on them. Enough is enough. This message needs to be viewed by every Australian; and every Australian needs to stand up for Australia. We've bent over to appease the Aussie-haters long enough. I'm taking a stand. I'm standing up because of the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the Australian flag. And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message. AUSTRALIANS, stop giving away Your RIGHTS! We should never – never be allowed to sell ANY farm/country land to overseas interests. They say Fiji is a third world country – yet they NEVER sell “their land” – they will only lease it to foreign interests – Australia should do the same. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY! This statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration ! YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY, welcome to come legally: 1. Get a sponsor! 2. Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants have in the past! 3. Live by OUR rules! 4. Dress as we Australians Do 5. Get a job! 6. Pay YOUR Taxes! 7. No Social Security until you have earned it and paid for it! 8. NOW find a place to lay your head! If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM! We've gone so far the other way...bent over backwards not to offend anyone. Only AUSTRALIANS seem to care when Australian Citizens are being offended! WAKE UP AUSTRALIA ! ! !

http://www.theguardian.com/world/australia-news-blog/2013/dec/05/australians-fighting-overseas-new-foreign-incursion-laws It's sort of old news but this horrendous piece of poo poo has just started to bite. There is a 25 year sentence possible for: quote:"If an Australian citizen enters a foreign country intending to engage in hostile activity on behalf of armed forces that are not part of the foreign government, they could be charged. They can also be charged for intentionally supporting these hostile activities. The type of support can include preparations by training or drilling, accumulating arms or giving money for goods that could be used to support incursions. It can also include giving money to people or associations that may be intending to engage in hostilities." That would have meant that the people who fought Franco, like Hemingway and Orwell, would be subject to horrendously long jail terms if they were Australian. Ditto anyone who actually fought against apartheid, or in any one of a bunch of other actions against military dictatorships (Burma anyone?). These laws happened on our watch.
