“Crime rates climbing high because the government putting a stop to sick pay and forcing everyone back into work when there ain't no jobs, would like to see there next plan in 12 months when there's no jail space available. don't think the Aussies will allow there back yard as a dumping ground no more . well there's always Somalia i suppose!”
