Why did you give them your address?
To make a complaint the police required our address, I did not expect them to come to our door, they should have phoned.

Why did you give them your address?
I wonder if there has ever been anyone with mental issues ever be able to go to work but not be able to play/participate in sport/hobbies?
I dobbed in one of my cousins.I'm pretty sure you don't need their birthdate, just enough information to identify them.
Yes, I would absolutely dob them in. In fact I've dobbed a few in, but not for a while now. If they are doing nothing wrong, then they will not be penalized by an investigation. On the other hand, if they are claiming something they shouldn't, they should get the book thrown at them.
That's me; can work no probs, but everytime I stand over a 3 foot putt I suffer a stress/anxiety attack...I wonder if there has ever been anyone with mental issues ever be able to go to work but not be able to play/participate in sport/hobbies?
These days, I just accept that as the Australian way. While I don't condone it nor will ever do something like that, if you choose to live here, you need to put up with it.
Apathy, the Australian way?

Not sure what your issue is.
I know at least 100 welfare cheats - from people who work in cash jobs making $1k+ a week and claiming centrelink, to people who own a portfolio of 10+ properties living in commission housing.

So how does your moral compass dictate when to take stance and when to just "put up with it"?
I take it welfare cheats and tax evasion is fine by you... as this is the "Australian way". Maybe you need to find new acquaintances? I don't think this is Australian at all
Which of the following would you take a stance on...or are some of these the Australian way as well?
1. Possession of unlicensed fire arms
2. Illegal drug use / possession
3. Under age drinking
4. Drink driving
5. Spousal abuse
6. Child abuse
7. Physical assault
8. Money laundering
9. Embezzlement
10. Bribery
11. Drug dealing
12. Sexual assault
13. Slavery
Keen to hear why you would think welfare fraud (theft) and tax avoidance may or may not differ to some of the other crimes on the list above?
I've done 1,2,3,4 and 7 (in retaliation to someone that attacked first).
I've also done 10 especially with my children, (Do as you're asked and you'll get an ice-cream type bribery).
Lock me up.
Sure...I've done some of them as well, most people would have at some times in their lives. But what on the list would you turn a blind eye to and not report / take action against as Deltaberry has admitted to. He claims to know 100 or so serial fraudsters. If I knew someone who was a continual drink driver, continual wife beater, continual child abuser, continual drug dealer..... you get the idea...
Add on the end continual welfare cheat, continual tax avoider...why the difference?

I was with you on this post until you slipped in the word "continual" in all those crimes. What about someone who just beats his wife once or just abuses his child once?
Welfare. Australian way.
Good social equaliser. But at the same time, I'm not a hypocrite. So when these people tell me about cutting CGT discount and negative gearing, I'm happy to cut them if they pay all the welfare back.
If this person has a workcover history of injury as long as your arm, it could be no employer is willing to take them on 'official books'. This person might have given up applying for permanent jobs because no employer would touch them with a barge pole should he get re-injured again and raise their workcover premiums.
So this person might have worked out that employers were happy to pay him 'cash-in-hand', just not officially. Also he might have given up applying for permanent work because knockbacks were too many and damaging to self-esteem. Just saying....
When you applied for jobs, it used to be mandatory reporting to report if you had a workcover claim in previous employment and give details, not sure if it is still the practice now. Any workcover claims including for stress, depression, anxiety as well as for physical injury.
