Bludgers spend 20 years

Bludgers spend 20 years on dole VICTORIANS spending decades on the dole are sucking tens of millions of dollars from taxpayers’ pockets. A total of 105 Victorians have been out of work for more than 20 years, collecting the equivalent of $26 million in payments based on current rates. Unions are calling for dole payments to be in-creased by $50 a week, arguing the current benefit is barely enough to live on. The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) says the Newstart allowance hasn’t increased in real terms for 20 years and now represents just 18

The figures, released found a whopping 48,000 Victorians had been unemployed for two years or more. The data included recipients of Newstart Allow-ance and Youth Allowance. But based on the current base Newstart allowance rate of $489.70 a fortnight, the jobless beneficiaries have received an estimated $1.8 billion of taxpayers’ money. It comes as figures found the state’s unemployment rate eased from 5.5

Opinion in Germany on Greece’s future in the eurozone remains mixed. European Central Bank executive board member Joerg Asmussen said a Greek euro exit would be “manageable” but much more expensive than some people believe.

“The clampdown on tax evasion will not happen by tax evaders voluntarily going to tax offices,” said Demo-cratic Left’s Dimitris Chatzi-sokratis. “It has to happen through systematic checks by the financial crimes squad (SDOE) and the financial police.” SYRIZA MP Theo-doros Dritsas accused the government of hypocrisy over the Hydra incident, arguing that it was chasing small-time tax evaders while ignoring the major culprits. “This is not an effort to fight tax evasion, it is a silly and costly attempt at a show of force by the government and the state,” he said.

Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos was able to gauge reaction in Berlin when he met there with his counterpart Guido Westerwelle on Monday. After the talks, Westerwelle said Greece needs to carry out the reforms that have already been agreed upon, but that “the German government wants us to remain together in the eurozone.” He pledged Germany’s help in implementing the reforms, but said “the key to success lies in Athens.”

Pontiaki Estia celebrated “Panagia Soumela” with great 3-day “Glendi”!

O

nce again Pontiaki Estia honoured “Panagia Soumeliotissa” with a series of great celebrations that lasted 3 days, reaching their apex on Sunday, with a day-long festivity at the hospitable House of the Cretan Brotherhood, 148-150 Nicholson St., Brunswick. Thousands of people took

advantage of a rainless day and enjoyed a well-prepared feast, enriched with great traditional music played by traditional musicians in “lyra” and “daoul” and dancing by many groups. Youth made its presence greatly felt and created enthusiasm with its great contribution. Of course, Radio 3XY

was there, broadcasting directly and participating enthusiastically with Nikos Loupos and Angelis Kalodoukas. The whole Committee, inspired by the public relations officer Litsa Athanasiadis, organized and directed the daily show to perfection.

Dancing groups: St John’s College, Cretan Brotherhood, Cyprian Community, Pegasus Academy, Pammakedoniki (Pan-Macedonian Association), “Aristotelis” (Florinian Club) and Pontiaki Estia. Sponsors: • ª∂Rπª¡∞ OF PONTINA LADYS • PRONTO REFRIGERATION • STANWYCK’S ACCOUNTANTS

• GERRY’S PITTES • BANK OF CYPRUS AUSTRALIA • BILL VAMVAKIDIS ACCOUNTANTS • MARBLE CENTRE EXCLUSIVE • TIM GAZELAKI DENTAL SUR GERY • EVAN’S MOTOR RECKERS • BATSANIS SHOES • VICTORIAN MULTICULTURAL COMMISION • KTENA KNITTING MILLS • CONWAY FISH TRADING • TULLAMARINE BUS LINES

The Committee of Pontiaki Estia expresses to all the groups, sponsors, participants and individuals who contributed to the great success of this festivity and, last but not least, to Radio 3XY and its broadcasters, its warmest thanks for promoting the event and looks forward to ever greater success next year.
