Half of australia works for the other half

[Locutus]

Nearly half of Australia’s voters rely entirely on government payments for their incomes:

Analysis by The Weekend Australian has revealed that more than 44 per cent of voters, almost 6.4 million people, are either public sector employees (1.89 million) or wholly dependent on federal government pensions, allowances and parenting payments (4.48 million). The figure grows further when private sector workers who receive more in welfare than they pay in tax are added …

ANU researcher Ben Phillips estimated that only 43 per cent of the adult population excluding public sector workers were net taxpayers last year, bringing the actual total voter-dependency ratio to well over 50 per cent.

​

Interestingly:

The Coalition holds seven of the 10 most welfare-dependent seats in the nation while Labor holds three.




I imagine we're not far from this here.

Sounds like Quebec, except that it is TROC that works to keep them afloat.

It means you didn't sign up for the Galleria Walking Club

Join our Walk to Thrive or Stroll to Thrive walking clubs, both located at the Westfield Galleria at Roseville. Walkers and strolling parents are invited to join the free, fun clubs. They are both great ways to meet other walkers or area parents and stay fit.

As a member, you’ll have access to the Galleria in the morning before the stores open, so you can enjoy a peaceful, climate-controlled walking environment, and an easy-to-follow 1-or 2-mile route through the mall. Club members meet each week. Kaiser Permanente physicians and health professionals will lead regularly scheduled walks and host monthly health education seminars for those in the walking clubs
