Tony Abbott works for the dole

Before Tony Abbott became the Prime Minister of Australia he found out what it's like to work for the dole. They year is 2000.

I like to imagine that footprint on his shoulder at 2:09 was from me.

He also got paid that day.
Probably also got a per diem for travel and accommodation expenses. I am guessing his lunch buddy did not get any such thing.

Was all that work worth $10 for the day? Cause that's about what "welfare" recipients get. About $3-4 was spent on that sandwich and the rest on traveling to and from the worksite! In fact, you'd be in debt if you kept working for a $10 a day dole (at the time)... lol There's no way $10 covers car expenses, insurance, lunch, cleaning products, etc.. What's the point of working if it costs more to get to and from work than you get paid for the day? What about superannuation expenses?? These day's you're getting about $47 a day on the dole... lol that means you're getting paid $7.80c an hour.... That's below the poverty line AND minimum wage, Modern day slavery.
