Yes you pay tax but come end of financial year you will get all that back. My mrs has epilepsy and has had many jobs. Apply for jobs and be honest at interviews and you would be surprised at how often people will get a job when they might not be the best applicant but are honest and upfront
If you do a diploma fulltime you can stay on parenting payment and you get the Pensioner Education Supplement, even if you do it part time you get PES and get to stay o parenting payment, I would talk to someone else as you are not being given the right information.
I wasn't saying that, I was just saying the form thing may be online but you need to attend an interview instead.Oh my god you have to show up once a fortnight:shock: That must be so hard I really feel for you, I guess all of us working full time don't realise how easy we have it having to show up at least five days a week:lol::lol:

Are you serious, the Rupert Murdochs and Kerry Packers of the world contribute to society. They had to work for their money, I thought they were born into it. They shouldn't have to pay tax because they are educated?? Am I missing something here?
Oh my god you poor thing, and why do you even need two homes. Most young people these days (working) are going to be priced completely out of the home ownership market because of greedy landlords and property investors pushing the median house price up constantly and youer crying about having to pay off two homes. Who is greedy here, not the people on $440 a fortnight from where I'm sitting.
Nothing greedy from where I sit, yes I rent and don't own a house. When retirement comes, assets and super plays a big part, with the sale of a house to help fund retirement, will keep people off old age pensions. Not to mention the GCT on the sale of a property.
Hey you don't need to tell me about that, my ex's whole family come from there, it is a stigma that's hard to shake. All of them are now employed. Yes I do think it is greedy wanting 2 houses when there are people struggling to keep one house over their heads. By the time you retire there wont be any age pension. Saying poor people do nothing about it is a generalisation, not everyone is in a position to do something about it. I am not saying people are not entitled to make money, but don't whinge that it is welfare making you struggle to pay off two houses, maybe your spending outside your means and that is why there is a struggle. As for poor people crying poor, in my experience it is more often people who are not poor whinging about how hard done to they are. I don't have a problem with being poor, yes it is stressful sometimes when bills come around, but I'd rather be poor and happy than rich, greedy and bitter about having to work every waking moment to pay for my extravagant lifestyle.
Yes, I am so lucky that my landlord won't spend any money to fix anything in my house which he is waiting to become unlivable so the council will let him pull it down and build flats. I feel so secure here en the rents are flying through the roof so my landlord is working around the clock trying to figure out an excuse to evict me so he can put the rent up to way over what the house is worth. Not all landlords are greedy, admittedly, but the ones that buy house after house with no intention of actually maintaining them just so they can make more money are.
For the record, I am not on the dole, you probably were not talking about me, but just saying.
You're right I wasn't speaking about you. I realize he is in the top 5% but surely you must realize that the top 5% aren't filled with Kerry Packers. Most of them worked hard to get where they are it isn't fair to lump them all together.
