"I think he really means "welfare families", "dole bludgers" and general "layabout" types.:"

Well if that is'nt implying something I don't know what is!

I don't think you know anything about family assistance so shouldn't assume things. With 2 kids you still get it if you earn $110k. Hardly a welfare family.

I do know about family assistance because I earn too much to get it myself.

Any state handout is basically welfare. It should be for people who are unable to support themselves but nowadays everyone seems to think it is their right. If you can't afford kids you shouldn't have them.

One social group has just complained there should have been a "dole recipients bonus" too. Quite serious, dole bonus

Agree with you the welfare thing here is completely crazy

Yep. It takes 8-10 years for a socialist government to really f**k a country up. Just look at:
Blair/Brown (UK)
Mandela/Mbeki (SA)
Clarke (NZ)
etc
KRudd and his successor, Gillard will take about the same time.

I'll probably get a little thai nurse who would be grateful to do it for the $10 a week she will get paid.
