    You just need to find a job where you do nothing and get paid better money than the dole. Have you considered a career in the public sector?

    I don't care what you claim about your back, it is obvious you are looking for any excuse not to work.

    The correct way to do it would be to get employed first then do a slip 'n' fall then milk worker's comp.

    Yep.
    Either method will serve it's purpose well and achieve your goal.... ending any chance of decent future employability.
    If it means not having to read about how tough you have it anymore, then I say go for it!

    I would say go for a sexual harassment claim, have you seen American Beauty? Then say you are sexually dysfunctional and have mental health issues and get your wife to sue them :)

    Perhaps the labour unions in Germany have more influence over GM manufacturing decisions than those in Australia. Does that mean that the German taxpayer will be subsidising the production costs of Holden cars?
