I do not claim ownership of the following text. It was emailed to me some time ago and for some reason or another, I kept the email. It possibly is not written by an Australian person as it makes reference to a ''free social security number'' which we don't have here in Australia. The text may have been adapted for Australia from a similar type of thing for America? I cannot vouch that the dollar figures are correct, however, I think if you take the whole thing in the context of how it was meant, it will still make sense. Some people will agree with the text, others won't. The joys of life hey!

Sensationalism? Then think about just this one [not so] small aspect...
The Australian Federal Government provides the following financial assistance:-
| BENEFIT | AUSTRALIAN AGED PENSIONER | ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN AUSTRALIA |
| Weekly allowance | $253.00 | $472.50 |
| Weekly Spouse allowance | $56.00 | $472.50 |
| Additional weekly hardship allowance | $0.00 | $145.00 |
| TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT | $16,068.00 | $56,680.00 |
If I were a refugee, why would I look for work? And the current Government is saying that 'elderly Australia' is going to put the country $100 Bn into debt in the next few years?!
The welfare of refugees further down the list.....Well after our Defence men and women, farmers and the average Aussie battler. After all, the average pensioner alone has paid taxes and contributed to the growth of this country for the last 40 to 60 years.
A Defence member voluntarily endures hardship, prepared to give up their life to preserve the way of yours; and the farmer/battler who are the backbones of this Country and Culture - never reaches for a handout but always willing to lend a hand...
When these people rarely, if ever, speak out they are shunned, ridiculed and dismissed by the Government and barely makes a headline in the news.
When refugees/immigrants speak out about repression and insensitivity to their culture in Australia, it gets widespread media coverage and quick resolution by Government bodies.
*** I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD A FIRM GRASP ON THE SITUATION
