Australia's Debt Clock

If anyone is serious about dumping even more debt into the economy ... lift payments to the unemployed.
Let them live above the poverty line.

Stop attacking the penalty rate for low income workers.

These people will put Turnbull's newest debt back into the economy.

"Turnbull's First Election Bribe"

More than two years after the election; must be some kind of modern record. ;)

You got me. I forgot he's to be assassinated by his own party before the next election. Who's replacing him ... Tony everything old is new again Abbott ?

Oh. you were talking NEXT election? Wouldn't that be about the 23rd bribe? (I'm not who counts bribes by politicians).

Such a pity you can't write coherently.

It's the time in the election cycle to start playing Santa Claus... start with the groups most likely to vote for your kind, and finally only as a despairing measure, give something to the peasants...

No one has posted on these other 22 Turnbull election bribes.
Perhaps you can enlighten us on all 22.
That's if they are real, and not just more of your fictional writing. 

Sounds like anon is trying to do his GetUp! infiltrator duty with a bit of fake non news.

Of course it was fictional writing. Didn't you read it?

It must suck to have your level of comprehension. ;)

Hacking cherrypicked bits out of larger sentences, from different posters, and then expecting other to decipher.

Lucky I ignore most of your ramblings.

Yes. You do do that.

Turnbull's fake tax cuts won't fool anybody. Handing back less than the amount that bracket creep has taken away in the past four years isn't a tax cut, it's a tax increase. Calling such adjustments "tax cuts" is simply a lie.

We need to end the endless lies of "tax cuts" that only hand back what bracket creep has taken away, and implement real income tax reform that introduces CPI indexation for all tax brackets.

It just reaks of desperation. 'Quick Scott, we have to come up with something - *ANYTHING* to distract the voters from all our bungling'.

It also raises the question - is he thinking of an election?

Who are you going to tax to give dole bludgers more sit down money?

The dole was never meant to be a lifestyle choice, if the bludgers want more money they should get a job the minimum wage is over $17 hr.

Unemployment is inherent in the capitalist system. In fact its a crucial element to it (so employers maintain bargaining power). We therefore, as a society, have a moral obligation to provide adequately for the unemployed. Not doing so is just shooting ourselves in the foot.

Lets see what happens on December 5 - he may not have a choice, and maybe he knows that already.

Careful, you're making sense.
I'm not sure that is allowed here.

The only unemployed bludgers are the idle rich. Remember that if you want any credibility.

Won't happen under a Coalition government, ever. They get off on people suffering. They would rather squander billions of dollars a year of taxpayers' money to their wealthy mates under the most flimsy of pretexts than increase the dole by $5 a week with the most compelling evidence showing this increase is needed.

They only ever govern for the fortunate few.

Labor wants to too. Fortunately, they are periodically forced, kicking and screaming, by various influences (including from the left faction of their own party), to stand up for the less well off. But be under no illusions, Shorten and his right faction cronies who dominate the party, would much rather emulate liberal policies like tax cuts to the rich, screw welfare recipients, subsidise and fast track corrupt foreign squillionaires wanting to destroy the environment with their coal mines, and neglect all but the most privileged schools.

That's why Labor's leaking votes to the Greens. Either Labor will realise this and take steps, or they will be forced at some point to enter into a permanent Labor-Greens Coalition, much as the Liberals have been in Coalition with the Nationals for decades.
