I suggest term limits on the DPB and the dole until their eventual abolition; no DPB or other benefits for anyone under age 18 unless significantly mentally handicapped; privatisation of welfare so that 'sickness benefit' forms, etc., are sent to a private insurer; no sickness or invalid benefits for anyone with lifestyle related illnesses or injuries; and telling everyone under age 40 that they will have to make their own provision for superannuation and not rely on the current Ponzi scheme as it is unsustainable.Richard McGrathnoreply@blogger.com
