Australian solution (?):

AFP: 20 September

An Australian politician has used his first speech to parliament to call for unemployment idlers to be sturn with a cattle prod to get them to work.

"They are simply getting a free ride on behalf of taxpayers of Australia and it is about time they received a touch on the backside with a cattle prodder to get them off their butts and actually do some work," he said.

"I believe that if you are in good health and are capable of working, then you should work," he told the senate late Monday. "

However, I do believe that the genuine unemployed should have a safety net and should be helped through their tough times until they find employment."

The senator's call came as a parliamentarian in the northern state of Queensland called for the reintroduction of corporal punishment in schools.

Footnote: The 53 year-old Member of Parliament, John Williams, isn’t a liberal; however, he’s a former truck driver, shearer, farmer and small business owner.

Have a good posting day.

"Sturn with a cattle prod to get them to work?

This parlimentarian called for "reintroduction of corporal punishment in schools"?

You must have a lot of time on your hands to find such a ridiculous "news" (?) story.

I'd rather see McCains plan implemented.

"You must have a lot of time on your hands......

Actually the story is in today's Business World. The WSJ is next and I'll check to see if they may have run it too.......go figure!

I hope this didn't personally offend you.

Footnote: Looks like I may need a prod to get my fingers working right this morning – stung

The WHOLE season?

I'd rather see McCains plan implemented.

Sorry, unable to read. Our firewall get's in the way of looking at most of the Frayster's posted links.

"....or just worried he might have to do some work finally."

Guess I (or you) missed something in the translation:

He’s a former truck driver, shearer, farmer and small business owner, and now a parliamentarian…..not sure I follow you (?)
