Hi Paul,

Treasury modelling suggested a price reduction of a few percent. Given modelling errors, that's as good as SFA. As I said, no one benefits from a spendthrift government with idiotic ideas. Howard and Costello have been gone for nearly twenty years, but I guess it's much easier for you to blame them as it is to point a finger at Magoo, much like the Zimbabwean government might still be blaming the farmers for all their problems.

Some people never learn.

Hi Fester,

What is this preoccupation you have with Zimbabwe and South Africa of all places, is that your country of birth, are you the "love child" of Ian Smith and Fred de Klerk? You seem to have an affinity with white racists from Africa, which has no relevance to Australia.

"Howard and Costello have been gone for nearly twenty years" Yes, but their unfair legacy re, negative gearing and capital gains tax, is still with us. Well it was until last night, when reasonable changers were made to some of it.

"So fifty b on the disabled, fifty b on indigenous people, twenty b plus goodness knows what on koala clubbing grifters (don't know what that is),....And that is not all the wastage by a long way." Are you saying every dollar spent in those areas is a waste. You don't mention the billions spent on militarism, or benefits to the big end of town. Your side of politics never mention militarism or corporate greed as being waste.

Hi Paul,

You push a "them and us" line all the time like a 1930s throwback. Or maybe you are like those silly Russian meatwavers, full of paranoia and irrationality, but given your climate apocalypse proclivities, perhaps "heatwaver" is more apt? The sad reality is that you are being fleeced by the people you think are serving your interests, although a good thing you are not headed to your demise like those deluded Russian sods.

Helping the disabled isn't a waste, but how much of the fifty b went to grifters? Twenty is the number I hear. Magoo is out of control.

Hi fester,
I watched this a while back.

Hi AC,

You get no argument from me concerning the rip-offs and rorts within the NDIS. I support the principle of the scheme, but clearly the execution has been a systemic failure, created by both sides of politics. The quicker a clean up and clean out is instigated the better.

Just as a local observation. House prices down by The Bay in Brisbane, have absolutely skyrocketed over the past few years. Friends of ours have just sold their place, moving to a local retirement village, a nice and neat, well keep'd 3 bed brick and tile bungalow, nothing to spend, on a good size land for $1.2 million. Rents in the local area are up to $1,000/week and more. I assume the same over your way?

Hi AC,

Any waste is awful, especially with all that is happening in the world. My concern is net zero as I believe that to be a complete waste

Imagine the difference that trillion dollars plus would make by not being pd up against a wall or given to grifters?

Way to much nonsense going on.
