So who are the people that need help and how much help do they need? There are plenty of people that suffer in silence and accept the issues that they have and make the best of their life . People who work in unsatisfying, low paid work because they have psychological or physical restrictions. I personally know people on NDIS or disability pension that seem to be able to do anything and everything but can’t work. We seem to live in a world now where the moment someone has a slight difficulty or challenge in life, the tax payer is expected to bail them out. I was in Adelaide this morning doing some shopping and the amount of homeless, and obviously mentally ill people wandering the streets is outrageous. How come nobody is assisting them? The current situation in society reminds me of my short time working in a government department. A small percentage of people doing the heavy lifting while a bigger and bigger cohort ride the gravy train with minimal effort. As a society we should assist people who can’t help themselves, but even then there needs to be some limit. As someone who pays a fair whack in taxes, I find it insulting that the guy down the road who claims he can’t work , has the ability and the energy to restore vehicles in his shed all day. Or the young woman across the road who claims to be autistic and now gets taken on all kinds of outings on the tax payers tab. She seems to have no problem socialising down the pub at night spending her benefits cheque. Where does it all end ?
