The fairer sex
In this land where feminist doctrine dominates public policy, where men have supplanted money as the root of all evil, where the bond between biological mother and child is sacred but bond between father and child is disposable, isn't it surprising to find that women are almost 3 times more likely to defraud Work and Income? Perhaps the women who cheat and steal are models of good behaviour in every other respect.

it would be interesting to see these numbers as a percentage of total beneficaries, it's no good giving a total figure if the actual number of recipients is also hight

I look forward to your posting on the burgeoning - in fact nearly out of control - white collar crime industry - 99% of frausters are middle aged white men.

All theft is wrong - but let's have some perspective.

Kipling knew it and said it beautifully:
And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him
Must command but may not govern -- shall enthral but not enslave him.
And She knows, because She warns him, and Her instincts never fail,
That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male.
