He is studying and trying not to be a leech on his parents.finding casual work put him in competition with teens backpackers etcNot qualifying for dole money doesn't sound like socialism to me.
Socialism would be to pay everyone the dole whether they're working or not.
But yeah - it's tough to find work without it so I can sympathise with that.
I would suggest he do as I did. Move to Western Sydney and work unskilled for $22 a hour.
There is a truck load of work here. Hope it works out
The only no-dole narrative I've seen in this country has come from Conservative parties who are anything but socialist.That's the advertisement, until they get into power. Then there is no dole for anyone.
Skill shortage because someone cut the guts out of TAFE and left training to the private sector who did nothing and then cried shortageThe only no-dole narrative I've seen in this country has come from Conservative parties who are anything but socialist.

Unless of course they're ~ age 50+ and self funded in which case it's likely the single biggest issue they're focusing on with the election.Unemployed give less than a rats ass about franking credits too
I didn't say it was ever abolished but that's their narrtive. I was talking about someone in Australia who can't get the dole until they're 21 because of their dads' business affairs.I'm talking about the socialist countries that were Eastern Europe and some others. As far as I can see the dole has not been abolished by any conservative government in Australia.

Therein lies the problem. There's no "one size fits all" with this stuff and any attempt to create that brings undesirable and (hopefully) unintended consequences.
The only difficult thing about it, is getting people to go bush, as you know.Skill shortage because someone cut the guts out of TAFE and left training to the private sector who did nothing and then cried shortage
You want to exploit our resources use local workers,local products and train your shortfall.
These multis know if employ foreigners they can exploit them like the guys who do all the insulation work on LNG projects 90 % Cambodians own bus own crib rooms don’t assimilate at all.
Don’t get me wrong good on them for having a crack and their very good at what they do
But to get a job on these projects they stipulate you need 3 years experience and bingo no local has 3 years experience in LNG
Wrapping fibre glass around pipe isn’t very difficult
Chip pies plumbers fitters with a bit of nouse would figure it out pretty quick
Gorgon probably 200 k pa they wer3 paying
I had guys asking me daily
How do you get a job!,,,,
Which Towers?Sounds like the chinese plasterers on cbd towers that are Union backed.
Yeah it’s the long construction rosters....4x1The only difficult thing about it, is getting people to go bush, as you know.
