If it weren't for the compassion and generosity of the former species, then the latter would have died out.<br><br>There really is only one solution to this dilemma, let them die out.

You see it was decided long, long ago that the precence of such people only aggriavted the customers and made them angrier and more prone to violence.

I'm in debt recovery for the same place, and can vouch for the quality of customer we have. they're not all like that, but there's enough of them, and this one ain't even the worst!

Baby bonus canned. instead of encouraging people who think a few thousand dollars is a lot of money to reproduce I believe there should be tax cuts for working parents. dare I say for the first $30k no tax. this would in my opinion would be a better solution as it would encourage working families to have children. I understand we need more children born to work when the current workforce is older but I doubt the 6th generation unemployed are the ones that will be doing it. 3.a cull would be the most effective method of removing the current problem, but as this is found on im not sure how we can stop this problem. lastly I would like to add that there are a lot of myths going around about why we aren't helping people and how we kick families out on the street for no reason but unfortunately due to the privacy act we cant tell the community why we evict people. It would be good if the do-gooders can keep this in mind before they get all up in arms about someone like this. may I also add there are good people as well but this certainly is not the worst ether.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21065634.post-84432588495305567882007-08-18T07:15:39.871+09:302007-08-18T07:15:39.871+09:30I would be taking this up with the union as no wor...I would be taking this up with the union as no worker should have to put up with the behaviour described here. It is an occupational and safety issue. <br><br>It is a legal requirement for workers to have a safe working environment. It is illegal for workers to be verbal and physical punching bags for individuals who do not understand how to interact in a civilized manner.<br><br>Honestly how much do you earn for this work? 45 or 55 thousand dollars? If the work was reasonable then this is a reasonable amount of money. If you have to deal with foul mouthed arseholes all day making death threats then its not worth it. <br><br>BTW I used to work for the DSS then Centrelink. I had to deal with some shit but nothing like what you describe and we would not put up with it either. If some arsehole started swearing and carrying on we would tell them to either stop it or leave. If they kept doing it we called the police.<br><br>Their record was then flagged, their name was on a list sent round to all local offices. A letter was sent telling them they were no longer welcomed in our office and if they came round the police would be called and they would be arrested.Karlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15504854563740755659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21065634.post-39457635522425016562007-08-20T16:01:23.012+09:302007-08-20T16:01:23.012+09:30"Honestly how much do you earn for this work?..."Honestly how much do you earn for this work? 45 or 55 thousand dollars?

I was pondering that yesterday as I spoke to a lady that was telling me how her ex partner who lives in the same street as her is harassing her and her children. She has 4 children to different fathers never had a job and the man who is harassing her is one of the fathers. She called to tell me she wanted a transfer "how can yous people expect me to live like this" and "its disgusting how yous people haven't transferred me already" not to mention she was over a grand in debt. In short this person has made choices to get where she is today. We are helping but due to the volume of people we help this takes some time. Hears a hint stupid, if you don’t like our service don’t use it. Same go's for centre link. Free money and cheep as chips housing isn't good enough for ya? Refuse our service. Hears another hint, we are doing our level best to help you despite your apparent addiction for bending your life over a barrel and shafting it as hard as you can.<br>PS love your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
