Payroll tax is a bad tax. It discourages employers from hiring, it is complex to administer for companies that have offices in different states, and it is inefficient.

It would be far better if the tax was abolished and replaced by a single Federal tax. Tax companies on turnover at about 1%, give the revenue to the states per capita. It would raise about the same amount of money but companies would save money through lower compliance costs.

Cashless Welfare Cards Are A Failure

You're not looking at it correctly. Plenty of libs and their donors are making a fortune out of it. That was it's true purpose  ... in that regard it's a complete success.

All welfare, every single cent, should be by welfare card.

Controlled so that the money can only be used for food, housing and the necessities of life.

No entertainment, no smokes, no grog.

And if the recipient does not use that fortnights allocated free money, they lose it.
No more hoarding it for trips to Bali.

This free money is a privilege,  not a right.

If you want money to spend how you like.

It's not that easy to get a job -
I know a fully qualified engineer with an excellent job record
who applied for 600 jobs before he got one.
It ended up as a short term gig job.

The job situation out there is dreadful.

Pull your head out of your arse sometime. Maybe you'll learn something.

This card has been a clusterfkk from day one. Payments declining for no reason. Multiple transactions on the card for a single purchase that take weeks or months to be corrected. Indue stealing money out of victims' bank accounts. Indue taking the money out of the Indue accounts and then not forwarding the payments on to the intended recipients, including important payments like rent and car registration. The provided app not working. There have been many other problems of this kind.

Indue couldn't run a chook raffle. Why are they being allowed to run this? Crony corruption.

Indue has buggered this up so hard that they should be made the subject of a Royal Commission.

I like how the polies get a very generous payrise and then tell us porkies that is a recommendation from an independent tribunal. No one twisting their arm to take it though LOL

We as tax payers are paying basically the equivalent of an entire year of welfare payments per card per person.

Essentially double per person per Centrelink payment. That's a lot of cash.

There are, reportedly, 6700 cards issued in the trial of Indue.

That's about $67 million that we as tax payers paid. That's a lot of cash that could have gone into drug policy, rehab and other services. Instead it went into the bank accounts of Indue.

There are roughly 700,000 unemployed people in Australia. If every single one of them are placed on an Indue card it will cost the tax payer seven billion dollars to transition to cashless welfare. Not to mention disability or aged pension.

What the f.uck is that going to do to the budget surplus?

Sure it sounded like a good idea when people thought it was only f.ucking abbos who would be affected but now it looks like the majority of welfare recipients (i.e. non abbos) are also going to be subject to this card.

All of a sudden it's a bad thing.
