It's more of a proverbial carrot than a proverbial gun. They're not subject to the same laws we are and we're not eligible to the benefits they are. Nobody's forcing them to steal my car (and they did, twice. Cost me a fraggin' packet) but when the law lets them off because there's already too many in jail, they're tempted to do it again. Nobody's forcing them to sit at home and drink, but when they're paid money every week for nothing, why would they bother looking for a job?

It IS slowly changing in Australia and people do care. I can't see any elections being won or lost over it, but the government IS slowly changing their tune.
