Do not forget to count those who 'Work' for the government either
Tax dollars pay for them too!!!!!

I just searched for the percentage of people working for the govt, and its only 17 percent accross Australia, excluding Tasmania which is over 65 percent employed by the government (believe it or not !).

I dont mind govt workers. Where would we be without the cops n the various other govt peoples who do work their ass's off. I think the days of bludging in any job are coming to a end. Everyone, incl both private and the govt sector is cutting the fat daily. I wonder if i can find "households with pinball machines" in the last census. It shld have been a mandatory question this time around.
