During Covid, the Federal Government actually DOUBLED the value of benefits, ""To help people get through the Pandemic"" very odd when nobody was allowed to leave their residence, on pain of massive fines, so, in fact, nowhere to spend this windfall....and when everything settled down, the payments continued.....dare I point out that most of these ""Welfare recipients"" are fit and able to work.......and there is plenty of work available if you really want it.......My old company ( I retired in April ) is offering a $6000.00 sign on bonus....(with conditions, of course) for Medium-Heavy License holders to drive Public buses....very good weekly salaries with overtime if you want it..........People don't want to work, they just hold their hand out for the fortnightly benefit from the rapidly thinning public purse.
