Poirot,

One relevant question is why a tax bracket adjustment that gives top earners an extra 85 cents per day is news. Another relevant question is why a crackhead living on welfare should care?

actually the real question that Storrar raises is whether someone who has used drugs and sucked on welfare should be eligible to vote let alone be allowed to waste tax payer money on the ABC in order for them to make a hero out of. Something that would never enter the mind of the victim industry and dumbed down getup crowd.

You've just gotta love this place for demonstrating middle-class viciousness - kicking the plebs is almost a sport around here..

There's runner sprinkling his errant brand of Christian goodness - his church paying all that tax (Lol! - not really) so they can produce belligerent little gentlemen like him....it's a credit I tells ya!

It is quite stunning having so much material in the one venue. This thread is a testament to middle-class meanness - of self-absorbed median psyches who are living lives of quiet desperation, so fearful that someone is going to expose them for the servile, timid, selfish, mean spirited souls they are.

But never fear folks...there's always someone lower down the rung you can kick in the guts to relieve your own anxieties.

History rolls along, but some things never change...

Poirot "Storrar's question is still relevant - why if the govt thinks it can afford tax cuts - do they limit them to the top echelon - especially those who already wangle their way out of paying tax?"

Middle income earners are hardly 'top echelon" are they?
Hasn't the Government already suggested that giving tax cuts to middle income earners may well lead to people with small businesses employing more of those unemployed and welfare dependent people that you say you feel so much for?

Tax cuts and handouts are given to low income earners in almost every election, and top-income earners don't really need the help, but what about the middle income earners...especially those who just miss out on the lower tax brackets? They never get any help at all. Some of these people have been doing it tough too, without the help of rent assistance, healthcare cards, low-interest loans etc that low income earners and welfare recipients can access.

Poirot, you can readily pick out those posters here who have a go at others....because you yourself are an expert in that field. People in glass houses....

The way Poirot spits out her venom probably indicates she on the public purse. Obviously never stops to thinks where money comes from.

runner, "How different was Ayaan Hirsi Ali last night who was able to expose how cowardly the left are when it comes to Islam. Despite the deniers trying to demonise her she exposed their cowardly fraudulent ideologies very succinctly. Even Jones had to backtrack on his usual arrogance and narratives"

Well said and that bears repeating. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is the sort of woman that feminists should be applauding and using as a model for youth. But no, of course! LOL

Jones' own prejudice as a smug leftist 'Progressive' and the slant he wanted (with the usual leading barbed snipes directed at the Western democracies) were on display. Jaw-dropping hypocrisy considering his own wealthy lifestyle. He is yet another 'Moral BS Artist'. There are so many of those gutless wonders in Politically Correct Oz.

Got to laugh at the predictable leftist hacks and the attention-seeking 'Twits of the Twitterati' who immediately put in huge efforts to buff up the whining, incoherent and intellectually and emotionally immature Kate Tempest as their hero.

What a spoilt and trite girl she is and what about she try out her opinions busking in an Arab country, where women are routinely abused and worse for being out alone, let alone opening their mouth.
