Taxes are more than just unemployment benefits ... you need to check what proportion of it goes to unemployment benefits.. I think a huge portion goes to health care and childcare...

Unemployment benefits are inevitable. Yes, there are ppl who exploit them, but there are also ppl who are genuinely couldn't find a job. Unemployment benefit is better to exist than not ... if these ppl don't get what they need for bare survival, they will rob. It will just create more social problems!! So it's either, unemployed + less crime; or unemployed + more crime. Take your pick.

Also, unemployment benefits protect you too when you're fired.. think of it as your own job insurance..

For a PR-holder, how many days per year does he have be in Australia in order to qualify for a citizenship??

Australian system is so different from the rest of the world...
Normally you need to be in a country for a few years before applying to for a PR...
Other countries will only issue you a work permit if you've never lived in the country..

How do you qualify for a PR?? Where do you score??

then why don't you start your own company, like opening a malaysian restaurant??
