Individual, Rudd's just as big an a s s hole as Tax'Em Tony. Glad you agree with me about this. Now individual, what you going to do about all the lies and broken promises from Tax'Em Tony?

They should have a decrease so they are seen as sharing the load, but that would be just to much. Abbott is a fake with an agenda, that is to make himself look like a man on a mission. With the states banned from any debt reduction, and everything from asset sales spent on infrastructure.
The weasel is not about saving money. The latest prediction is to have a 1 % surplus around 2022.
Every promise on the books broken and completely trashed. This man went to an election with fraudulent lies to forward his own agenda.

2022 ? My family will be well into getting prices for my coffin by then. i want to see some positive action now, this year. First stop renounce the last public service payrise.

You have just described almost every Prime Minister we have ever had.

The only way to stop the rot is if they break any major election promises they are removed from office.

Philip S,
That all sounds very straight forward but with voters like Australians no-one could ever win an election, the voters are way too greedy themselves. They need a strong Government that tells them what to do & where to go because Australians in general are not interested in the common good if it means putting in an effort. Yes, when it comes to being proud for being born here (wow what an effort) they're up front but ask them to do a little for the country ? No way Mate !

The top end public servants wages are linked to parliamentary wages, so they don't only vote for themselves. To revoke their last increase is to revoke the parliamentarians last increase.
