Good to see a Pollie with a sense of humour eh...
Meanwhile back on topic...
Pollies need to live on $40 a day for 6 months minimum, then they can get a collection of bills to pay, with electricity hitting the roof etc, let's see how well they do then.
Rates, Electricity, Water, Gas, Car, Petrol, Mortgage/Rent, Food, etc, etc, etc.... and pray that nothing breaks or goes wrong in that time too eh.
No.
$0 a day until they have used up all of their savings.
Then $40 a day indefinitely, with
all of the obligations. If they can't attend the regular pointless fortnightly appointment because they're attending a funeral, are spending time in hospital, have jury duty, are looking after a sick child or any of a long list of other personal emergencies, then they get breached.
Oh, and they get to do Work for the Dole too.
