Turnbull and Co screw the pensioners, unemployed etc while in the past 8 weeks have given away 500 Million in aid to other countries many of which most will go to official corruption.

http://www.michaelsmithnews.com/2017/04/turnbullbishop-hand-out-500m-new-overseas-aid-in-past-8-weeks-make-ruddgillard-look-responsible.html

Half a billion new dollars - in just 8 weeks!

When did we decide to build a new education system for Myanmar ($71M) or add $40M to The Philippines Islamic system in the autonomous region of Mindanao?

$10M for gender equality, a few million for anti-terror pamphlets - and those hundreds of new millions for the bosses of Iraq and Afghanistan to launder.

Considering how much Australia is in Debt I wonder who he going to screw to get the money back from already done the pensions etc and is giving tax cuts to big business.

Well said Philip S
I know and so do a few others that this forum, as well as others, is watched
very carefully by agents of the government.
In fact, in many cases, they use it as a barometer to gauge public opinion.
Therefore Mr. Prime Minister, and your cronies, when will you start governing
for the little people that make up ninety percent of the population and whom
have less than ten percent of the countries wealth.
Am I angry? Yes I am!
Are you angry? Well yes you should be.
The people should revolt just like they have overseas for centuries.
Who the hell do these people think they are?
We elected them to govern for all of us and not just for the select minorities with deep pockets.

Hi there CG1000...

Thats very much a rhetorical question you've asked our esteemed Prime Minister, CG1000? '...When is he and his cronies going to govern for the little people...'? No Mr PM, CG1000 isn't referring to that little known tribe of Pygmy's that live somewhere in the deepest recesses in darkest Africa?

He's in fact referring to the ordinary working class folk, who regularly contribute their obligatory taxation payments through the existing PAYE system, and who happen to make up about 90% of the electorate. Mast of them, have less than 10% of the nations wealth Sir? You with me now, Mr. PM ?

He (CG1000), has also indicated that he's quite annoyed with you personally, and your political sycophants? Very angry indeed, as we all should be! Asking who in hell's name does he (the PM) think he is! Reminding him, that he was elected specifically to govern for us all, every man, woman, and child, not just a select few of these trendy minorities. All of whom are loaded down with an abundance of 'filthy lucre', most of it accumulated as a direct consequence of ingratiating themselves with a Merchant Banker of course!

Aiden, are/were you in the economics or finance businesses ?
That might explain everything.

Anyway to go off thread a news item;
Nth Korea has introduced petrol rationing and it has enough fuel for a one day war.

Dear Nana,

«Yuyutsu, you may be unaware that there is a group of people in this country who have the ability to live off the land unassisted.
Aboriginal people, via Native Title, own approximately 20% of this country and it is land on which no rates or fees are ever paid.
If they wished they could return to the hunter gatherer life style they lived before white settlement.
Not that any wish to but the option is there.»

True, but that's very limited:
1. You need to be aboriginal.
2. The land in question is the worst and most arid.
3. There are other possible styles and uses of land, other than the hunter-gatherer life style. While government would probably allow and won't feel threatened by a hunter-gatherer life style I'd be surprised if government would allow more complex lifestyles, even by the same aboriginals on that same land.
4. If you haven't had the opportunity to grow up in a simple society, you will be spoiled by civilisation and be unfit for that kind of life later on.
