I've walked past homeless people at the train station on hold to Centrelink on their phones. The system is hosed.

So it's Tuesday morning And my Centrelink hasn't come through
So I pick up the phone Because I've got some abusing to do
But all I get is elevator music, waiting on the line
On hold all the time
All I get is elevator music, waiting on the line

"'Spruik' is an Australian and New Zealand slang term, primarily used as a verb. It means to speak in public, especially to promote or advertise something, often in an enthusiastic or elaborate way. It can also mean to give a speech, spiel, or orate. The word's origin is uncertain, but it's thought to be related to German or Dutch words for speaking."
I don’t think this is pro human
The welfare state is a huge failing and the tax base will not cover continued benefits. I’m not in AU but have seen a small tax base try to uphold a large welfare base and think that from what I’ve seen with Australia migration and tax madness it’s only going to get harder there for the common people
