Paul1405,
Are you calling Australian Pensioners Welfare recipients ? You'll find that you, as a Public servant receives way more undeserved benefits including Super than the average blue collar pensioner who has already paid for their Pension in advance !
I never did get an answer to asking you several times of what benefit you are to Australian society ! My gut feeling is that you're not even a citizen of this country !

Am I public servant? Wrong
Self funded retiree, not a burden on the public purse, like someone. You should be living off your Supa! That's what you paid for. No sympathy for those who pissed it up against the wall.

Am I not a citizen of the Country? Wrong
Born and bread, not a 10 pound blow in, like someone. Now with snout in public taxpayer trough.

Self funded retiree,
Paul1405,
From bad to worse eh ? Self funded means you were writing everything off that could possibly be written off & the ordinary blue collar workers had to make up the shortfall to the Govt coffers as per usual !
Self-funded means you paid as little Tax as possible. The average worker paid three times more in tax than you ever did & you have the gall to call Pensioners Welfare recipients ?
You're a sad case of a grub indeed !

My last full yer as a taxpayer seen the wife and I part with $40k in taxes. Still as a retiree required to pay tax. How much do you pay? Sweet FA I would suggest. Aged pensioners never ever contributed to a national pension scheme. Hawke and Keating supa yes, which you were paid out, probely "invested" it in the one arm bandits, and a few more schooners down at gods waiting room. Would I be correct.

Sweet FA
Paul1405,
Still on 19% which is not sfa in anyone's language considering that you'd never ever have paid anywhere near that rate whereas we blue collar jockeys were up on 39% & no write-offs unlike your commercial welfare !
