All this discussion is largely redundant.
What we have ahead is how to wind back our welfare payments while still
looking after the most disabled.

We need only look at Grece & Spain to see where we are going.
All economies are looking down the barrel of slowing growth and as in
Europe zero growth becoming contraction.

What on earth makes politicians think they can isolate Australia from
the "End of Growth" phenomena. It is a fundamental adjustment to the
increased cost and the pending reduction in the availability of cheap energy.
Our economy has to adapt to the "Steady State Economy" model.

Remember this, extra spending plus repaying borrowings, plus paying interest
can only come out of increasing growth rates.
However increasing growth rates are so 20th century.
