The bolt report, page-146

Stevo, as someone who also advertised jobs, interviewed and employed thousands of people during my working life I cannot remember a single person meeting your unflattering descriptions. Not ONE!

After 35 years your business should have been able to attract much better applicants than those you described so perhaps its time you looked at your own internal processes, employment conditions, remuneration rates etc.

To suggest that some of the highly qualified, multi-skilled and hard-working Australians who cannot find employment are at fault is just plain WRONG! For Tony Abbott's ministers to label them "bludgers", "leaners", "loafers" or "takers" is insulting, un-Australian and utterly reprehensible.
