A perennial Australian favourite: let's beat up on welfare recipients

There is one thing a wide section of the Australian community can be depended on to display - a deep and abiding prejudice against any form of difference and an intolerance of people on the dole.
For some reason many think prejudice is acceptable when sent by email, as was this montage/photograph with the legend: Support the system that supports me. Centrelink.

This piece managed to capture at least one spiteful myth about welfare recipients; that they are all bludgers on the make.
When are these e-mail idiots going to grow up?
