TIMMEE the government isn't paying them diddley-squat, WE, THE TAXPAYERS OF AUSTRALIA are paying. I agree with you on the rest.
It burns me up when I hear talks of "rights". No one has rights - except the right to persue a goal whether it be good health, a job, hapiness, release refugees, education, etc. That right ceases as soon as it infringes on someone else's "right" to persue something or it breaks the law.
To have a "right" means that someone has to give it. And I'm sick of giving to people who are no use to society.
