We see the same things here- I watch some of these welfares get $7000 tax refund checks (never worked a day or paid in)and go blow them at WalMart on luxury items while the rest of us work our butts off to support them. I think the DSS should confiscate the refund checks and dole it out to them as they NEED it to help pay for some of their support.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12030074737745524449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922338030834754301.post-45644543953938584632008-10-17T13:04:00.000+01:002008-10-17T13:04:00.000+01:00I agree with you, I have no qualms whatsoever with...I agree with you, I have no qualms whatsoever with someone claiming asylum but immigrants should be able to prove that they can work to keep themselves and have somewhere to live just as I would have to if I decided to emigrate to Australia. I have no idea if the family you are referring to are asylum seekers rather than just immigrants, but I did hear that the person at the council who put them in that accommodation has been dismissed from their job. Keep up the harrassment, maybe the government will start listening.
