I seem to recall critics labelling the campaign as irresponsible, fuelling prejudice and discrimination - damaging some of the values it claims to preserve or provide sufficient information on what people should be alerted for. Perhaps asking Australian their views would have supported any form of campaign regardless of gender or culture.

Let the other bloke work to keep me?

Whatever gives you the impression that after paying taxes for 30 years, I'm eligible for any income-support? I made the mistake of investing in the country rather than supporting the local brewery or dope-pedlar. Since I have assets, I get no dole, and since I get no dole, I also get no support from the "Job Network" - and jobs are only advertised effectively through these agencies.

So - sure, I can sell a property. Throw someone out of a home and still won't get any support to find a job, since I'll still have the asset (cash.) And if I spend the cash, all that does is mean the government will be supporting me in a few years time rather than now. Some other government's problem.
