Aussies - There is something VERY wrong with this picture! Update - Please read opening post!

So im a dual citizen Aussie and British.
Does this mean if I renounce my Aussie citizenship, and come here illegally, ill get 56k a year?

As you belong to the Commonwealth, I don't think it would count!

i generally dont care for much involving the economy but WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!

link or gtfo

particularly one showing that there's an official line on how much illegal immigrants should get

Link??

If it's true it is disgusting!

What kind of illegal immigrants, ones that are picked up trying to enter? it cant be all the overstayers, as they dont want to be deported.

Yeah you gonna need to get a link

That's outrageous.

yeah agreed.

Can this be confirmed?
If so, something needs to be done about this. Not cool at all...

According to this widely circulated protest email, a refugee who arrives in Australia receives a considerably higher monthly benefit payment from the Australian government than do aged pensioners who have lived and worked in the country for years before retirement. The message has caused a great deal of anger and resentment among recipients and has been discussed at length on various talk-back radio shows and in letters to the editor in newspapers across the country.

However, the information in the message is total nonsense and in no way reflects the real level of entitlements for refugees or pensioners.

A September 2007 media release from the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) notes:
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) has refuted false claims circulating on the internet that refugees settling in Australia receive more in benefit payments than Australian pensioners.

'The figures quoted in the email bear no resemblance to income-support payments to pensioners, or to payments to refugees settling in Australia,' DIAC spokesman Sandi Logan said today.

'The text and figures in the email appear to have originated in Canadian emails, websites and internet chatrooms. We suspect that the email circulating here has been cut and pasted from these sources.

'In Australia, refugees granted permanent visas may gain access to benefits on the same basis and at the same rates as other Australian permanent residents.

'Refugees with temporary visas do not have access to the full range of benefits - they are only eligible for Centrelink Special Benefits on the same basis and rates as other Australian residents.

'There is no separate rate of benefit payments for refugees.'

Wow Im shocked !!


Im shocked that some parasitic victum fucker hasnt used the big NWO newspeak word... RACIST ! yet ....LOL!

you must comply , if not you are a RASIST !!

Nothing new ..

Here the minimal pension people get is 750 euros and those people have to pay for all of their expenses.

Refugees get free housing, free clothing, free food stamps and 450 euros money per month.

Internationalist promoting multiculturalism that is.

fix'd

Illegal-immigrant DOLE-BLUDGERS are the new Lady Gaga!

Get used to it!

This is a trap for the illegal immigrants to own up and then they will be deported

i heard a story, of a lady who did a couple of home visits
to a lady who was from Somalia for a medical check up or something,
anyway, this lady had a $50 bill and couldnt pay it.
she said she had trouble with understanding her letters/mail, and could this lady explain them to her.
she knew very basic english and was in the country less than a year.

well a couple of them were centrelink letters, and she was getting 900 as a base rate... so add in rent assistance and other extras.
she had like 9 or 10 other family members living with her and apparently couldnt keep up with any of her bills.

i dont think centrelink would want to advertise to the world that refugees get it twice as good as people who have paid their taxes etc and are struggling financially and are being supported by the system that they supported themselfs, that would mean students would get 3 or 4 times less than the refugees... they are the future of the country and they will give back a lot more than they ever took when they are qualified and employed. refugees might need help but they cant take more than they can give back to society. there would be much better places for them than aus, it seems that australia is adapting to other peoples culture.. we are losing our identity.
