Well, I was just today telling my legend mate big AC about how there is no help for entrepreneurs in this country. If you go down the welfare office because you have no money to buy food they tell you to go away and close your company (even if it’s making no money), sell everything that you slaved your guts out for….. gosh let’s not go there further, that’s another MASSIVE chapter (I’ll edit this more shortly), but in brief, if you go through the process, you’ll be waiting weeks for a lousy $150 a week.
Yesterday I am checking the P O Box and when I get back to the car, this young guy at the adjacent bus stop says to me, “excuse me sir, are you going to Newmarket” – I tell him “no” and slam the door and drive away.
100 metres down the road I am thinking what a wanker (me that is), it’s 2k’s away and maybe he needed a ride to a job interview or something or maybe he was trying to save the $1.80 fare or just maybe he was being cheeky – so what if he was… I didn’t need to be a prat. Maybe he is an entrepreneur too perhaps and just needed a bit of a helping hand perhaps. He’ll certainly not get any help from the current Government.
Now I have regret and have thought a lot about how that young man must have felt when been told bluntly to get lost.
I should be punished and the price by applying for a job at WINZ – I’d fit the mold perfectly.
