lizbeeTONY Abbott has proposed banning the dole for people under 30 in a bid to entice the unemployed to head west and fill massive skill shortages in the booming resources sector.
1. Being under thirty, and having been on the dole, I can only imagine how badly I would have coped in a mining town.
2. I presume the mining towns would be THRILLED to have an influx of resentful, undertrained young people coming in.
3. Somehow, sending women out west against their will seems like a particularly bad idea.
4. Too bad if you can't drive, or want to stay close to your family!
5. At least in ye olde England, you had to commit a crime before you were transported as forced labour.
6. Abbott doesn't actually want to win the election, does he? Which is fine by me, I just think there's more to being Opposition Leader than trolling.
