What a brilliant idea…
Message from a hard working Aussie
I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay cheque, as I work on a mine site on a Kalgoorlie (WA) construction project, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem.
What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don’t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine test to get a Centerlink Payment because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
Please understand – I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their backsides drinking grog & smoking dope.
Could you imagine how much money the Government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a Centerlink Payment?

New Year, newborn, new stuff
Well it has been awhile since my last post almost a whole month. Wow, that has gone quick! So what is new? A lot of things actually, which I will try and summarise and keep this post short.
- We looked at moving into a new place, but ended up renewing the current lease.
- We quit smoking.
- We found out we are pregnant, and find out if it’s a boy or girl on 03/02/10.
- The girls had their 4th birthday.
- Our Guinea Pigs had 3 babies, but two didn’t make it.
As you can probably tell by the above 5 points, this post could have been quite large but seemed a lot easier to just summarise the lot.
