Oct 10, 2017. Of course, an investigation pre-dating 2015 was not in the mix.

Thus is born the mythology of the dole bludger: the idler who refuses to work, and in doing so, “steals” the tax dollars of those who do work hard and thus pay to subsidise his/her laziness. dole bludger (plural dole bludgers) ( Australia , New Zealand , derogatory , slang ) An unemployed person who has no intention of seeking a job , and survives on government - funded unemployment benefits . ...

'Dole bludger', is a uniquely Australian phrase, but we didn’t always talk about the unemployed in that way. (That’s the figure I used – a rise of less than $2 a day.
