But I do know if he was a hard worker as you imagine, he didnt save enough money to self fund his retirement and is now living of the taxpayer. A lot of people spend all their money on alcohol, ciggies, pokies,hookers etc. etc.. Then put their hand out for taxpayer (my) money, which offends me. 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again you assume he's getting an aged pension, maybe like me he only gets a part pension because of savings/investments etc. You're too quick to judge his circumstances. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one. No wonder we are in so much debt. The income tax taken from workers in Australia is similar to the amount that gets dished out in welfare every year. So effectively, the workers have to pay tax so the non workers can stay at home watching TV. I like the Thai system better.

Popular Post youreavinalaff Posted November 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2018 "Section 1461. Husband and wife shall cohabit as husband and wife. Husband and wife shall maintain and support each other according to his or her ability and condition in life." I have seen this used as a defence for "working" without a work permit. This is a section from Thai family law. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
