Question Welfare State Australia

Hi,

Recently Kevin have introduced further benefits for low income earners and specially interest free loan facility for low income earners? Can we compare all the welfare benefits/facilites of Australia with Canada,Scandanavia(Europe) and UK?

Canada and UK are similar in welfare benefits and retirement benefits.Since Australia and Canada are similiar countries in many respects does these two countries offer same and equal welfare schemes to its citizens?

People who have been living in Canada and UK can compare Australia easily and present a detailed comparison.

Cheers,

WTF? Are you on the pi$$?
Cross country comparison of welfare system will yield little to nothing mate...I saw you other post on here and it does not make sense.

I read it and I get the plot! Or it could be me blame it on VB...

I dont mean to sound harsh, but I for one couldn't care less and really dont see the merits of comparing the benefits available in Scandinavia and Australia

Cheers,
I'm very pleased for them. Sure beats a crap game of Scrabble on a cold QLD winters eve!

Do they get 'Recognition of Prior Learning' credits when presenting their detailed comparison as evidence that they should be allowed entry to an accountancy or economics Masters degree?

I spent my last 3 months claiming benefit in Australia and I found it efficient and an enriching experience. I have never claimed benefit anywhere before but I wanted my money(payed in taxes)back.

The OP is a well-known troll and has already been to Australia and moved on elsewhere. As he is now banned I am closing the thread.
