Australia's Public Enemy Number 1: Grace Tame.
it's like been frightened of a goldfish.
Help! the goldfish is going to get me!

When will people wake up to the fact that the economy is very close to hitting the wall due to the immoral imbalance of wealth creating force vs wealth gobbling forces ? When will people realise that ever increasing wages & salaries only result in increasing costs ? The financial & economic "experts" are failing miserably in their jargon waffling predictions. They never offer solutions & only tell us what we already experience. There are simply too many hangers-on yet it's always the Pensioners who, as the lowest cost of all are portrayed as the burden. The real burden are the insanely highly paid, the somewhat less insanely high paid, & the too highly paid in the unproductive sectors of the Public sector. Private productive enterprise is being strangled by too many Government expenses & Taxes & economy sabotaging bureaucratic interference & incompetence. Any new Government's first policy should be to reduce these drains to stimulate the economy. The inexperience & unproven performance of a new administration should not be rewarded with higher salaries than the one voted out. An apprentice doesn't get full pay until they prove themselves & the same should apply to bureaucrats living off the taxpayers ! The many pay rises over the past decades have proven that pay rise do not improve standards in performance or improve revenue. If only One Nation could work on reintroducing common sense & at least some morals because the ALP/LNP have shown us they can't ! A national Service, an immigration based on merit & compatibility will reshape this nation in a more positive way than DEI could ever hope to achieve !

Hi AC,

You may have misunderstood me; "stick em in dog-kennels" what I didn't mention, and I think this will change your mind completely, those dog-kennels will be carpeted, wall to wall. Unfortunately due to the housing shortage in the dog world some will have to share their new abode with our K9 friends, there could be a Bullmastiff or the odd Rottweiler involved. What our old folks will need to remember is "sharing is caring".

As for their old folks ex-houses, perfect accommodation for women and children fleeing Syria, refugees and people let out of immigration detention. Everyone's a winner!

What I really don't like is old farts who get two pension rises a year in line with inflation, from the taxpayer, come on here pontificating how workers who are already struggling should get nothing. You know who they are.

The morally bankrupt keep bleating that the minimum wage workers should get no pay rise according to people with morals. No-one's suggested that. The deliberate false interpretation comes mainly from those with their snout permanently stuck in the public coffers troughs with little or literally no benefit to society let alone the workers. Raising wages parallel to raising inflation & other costs due to incompetent management is not helping the minimum wage earners in vital but totally unappreciated work one iota. Reducing the massive salaries of non-productive bureaucracy will as the funds saved could go towards those low wage earners the gravy train bureaucrats pretend to feel so utterly sorry for.
Why not beef up the Superannuation for low wage earners by 17% ? Or, enable low wage earners to get into salary sacrifice ? Would it not make more economic sense to implement new policies to improve the spending power locally instead of boosting the spending power by the (only in matters of irrelevance) elites overseas ? There's just so much room for improvement for all if only some could muster some moral & common, practical sense ? The next PM should stipulate/advocate a reduction in bureaucrat salaries for those from $200,00/year upwards by staring with 3 or 5% & going up to as much as 20% for $ 800,000 & over. Even then most would still be grossly overpaid but the real life benefits to the economy as a whole would improve for all ! There is no moral, economic justification for the present levels with the present performances/merit of these people !

Hi Paul,
Yes, that changes things.
Pet companionship in later years can be very beneficial for ones mental health, and the wall to wall carpet is luxury only a few ever get to enjoy.

Australia now has a record 178 billionaires, grown almost 10% in one year, with total wealth exceeding $686 Billion, an increase of about $26 billion. Australia's richest person Gina Rinehart, $40 billion, supports Hanson's One Nation party, whose job it is, is to look after the interests of the mega rich by duping the sucker population of mugs and old farts into believing One Nation is out to serve their interest.
