    The NCT is a scam because I don't want to pay for it.

    Maybe your mechanic mate fixed it?

    Introduce marriage equality, liberalise abortion laws, revamp and dechristian the constitution, introduce true employment equality, investigate means of youth employment, investigate changes to our democratic system to fix the current issue with parties inability to act on real change for fear of losing out in the current voting system, pump funds into integration and education schemes relating to marginalised groups.

    I could keep going if I started thinking, but the NCT isn't going to be included in my ramblings til some time next march at the current pace...

    Reads like a Labour election manifesto. Create more quangos for the 'marginalised'. Its not like we dont have 100s of them already.

    The only people who are marginalised in this country, is the ordinary worker who has to fund the whole shebang. The average Joe and Josephine soap dont give a fiddlers about gay marriage, abortion, the church, integration quangos or any of that.

    Jobs, curtailing forced emigration and paying their mortgages/billsis what they are concerned about. Not liberal social issues.

    The endless cycle of the welfare/sense of entitlement has to stop.

    Dole should be decreased the longer you're on it.

    Also, 18 to 23 year olds should only be on a pittance and not qualify for rent allowance. That way their parents will be sick of them hanging around the house and boot them out every day to look for work.

    Yeh I know stuff like that makes you wonder, but I still don't think that's enough to deem the overall system a scam or a symptom of corruption. There's room for human error too when the tests are being carried out.

    They do if they're gay, pregnant as a result of rape, a victim of Church related child abuse, or part of a marginalised social group...

    Gays make up just three percent of the population iirc.

    Dunno about the rest. One or two percent tops.
