“If people are not working, then why shouldn’t they take drugs or drink booze?
They can, but not when they’re signing on. And I’ll tell you why. If they’re stoned or pissed up then they’re impaired. And if they’re impaired then they can’t look for work. If you or I are impaired then we can’t work, and so WE can’t earn the money to pay THEIR benefits. So why shouldn't they be tested for drugs and alcohol to spend the money that we earn?”

“You have the inspiration of a jester, the soul of a backpacker and the heart of a warrior, and you’ve already done much better than you appreciate. You’re supported more than you realise. You’re in spitting distance now, just around the corner
Each and every one of you is a work of art. Not everyone’s going to accept you, but the ones who do will never forget you. Come on, admit it, you’re not like the others, are you? And that’s not just okay, it’s fucking beautiful!
Always remember, when you’re stuck between two planets, the only thing you can do is try something absurd.
….. And you may just hear a river start.”
― Wrong Planet - Searching for your Tribe

“Go to the community and the locations that have set a sparkle in your psyche. That's how you find your Tribe”

“If you're on benefits you shouldn't get to vote.
You’re making no contribution to society, so why should you have a say in how it’s run? If you’re retired, of course you vote. You’ve made your contributions. If you’re a stay-at-home mum, then likewise you get to vote. And if ill or invalided in some way, the same. But if you’re fit and healthy and capable of mending a fence or stacking shelves, and you’re not doing either of those things, then you don’t get to vote.
I don’t want someone who’s too lazy to get a job making decisions on how this country should be run.”

“If a fairly substantial percentage of the money you and I work hard for is to be given to people too lazy to drag their arses out of bed at six o’clock in the morning and put in a shift, then we need assurance that they’re not spending our money on booze and drugs.”
