Orli,

You can say it's a class issue all you want, but the fact is that this law affects only poor and black people. I'm sure Australia has it's fair share of white trash.

And if I said that I don't have a problem with black people, just the ones who sit around collecting government checks so they can buy 40's and smoke crack, I'd be labeled as a racist.

And I think I saw what they get every fortnight, and that's a pretty large chunk of money they could have spent any way they see fit. I'm not sure what the exchange rate is in Australia vs. U.S, but basically if you give a person enough money to where they don't have to work they will just sit around smoking weed and watch T.V. all day.

So really is it possible for a white person to get a government check for that amount every fortnight? What are the drug laws like in Australia? And I could probably fake an accent so I don't look or sound like a foreigner. Unless, a Texas drawl is suddenly sexy somewhere in the world, but yeah if I can get free money I'm totally moving to Australia.
