Individual,

In order for you to hit anything you would have
to remove your blinkers.

But of course you don't see the big picture.
How can you with such a small screen.

Hi Foxy,

Our friend Indy has a huge sense of entitlement, he doesn't receive aged welfare, oh no, he likes to think of it as an aged pension, something he is entitled to because of past taxpaying. The sad true is, previous governments never made provision for the future payment of pensions. What Indy receives is welfare paid by todays taxpayers and government borrowings. Greens such as myself do not support a system of welfare that is unsustainable in the long term. What Indy doesn't realise is if Australia had created a decent national superannuation scheme post WWII, he and millions of others like him would be far better off today than they are on aged welfare. Unfortunately conservative governments because of philosophical reasons opposed national supa, and they still do today, thus the argument over an additional half a percent contribution.

The hangers-on are ganging up !

Welcome to the forum
Where anachronism rules
Where tribal antiquated oldies
Think that they are cool

The forum used to be
An interesting place
Today its full of nasties
And postings in-your-face

Back in their olden days
They went to pubs to fight
Today what with COVID
They can't even drive

So they come onto the forum
To vent their little spleens
Against the Leftie commies
And other vile extremes

But that's not all we have folks
There's much more to be seen
There's many other people
Who are also really keen

There are those who feel its important
To set the record straight
With fact based evidence
To help out a mate

So like it or lump it
The forum will remain
A place where people
Argue over their terrain.

Foxy,

We're here for the politics not the poetry.

Those with no retort resort to ridicule !
