 Yes,it surely is a joke. In Brisbane,I know of tyre fitters working 5.5 days/week at major tyre retail outlets,and taking home less than $800/week. But at least they have a bit of pride,and are not content to simply sit around on their Rs bleating about how tough life is.As stated before,anybody who claims that there are "no jobs" is talking rubbish.I have no problem with giving assistance to folk like you (NOT "like yourself") who have served in the defence force,and suffered injuries,but I am sick to death of paying to support bludgers.The problem we face in the future is that these types, simply by weight of numbers,have immense voting power.Cheers
