Night Shade posted:Somehow I doubt that notion extends to his parliamentary pension. quote:Finally, before anyone complains about hypocrisy from a politician, I should point out that the scheme giving retired federal politicians a generous life pension was closed in 2004. New politicians like me contribute to a superannuation fund, the same as everyone else who has a job. And, like everyone else, whether we will need welfare in the form of a pension depends on how much super we manage to save, not how much or how long we have paid tax.

open24hours posted:I'm pretty sure appeals to White working class identity had something to do with it. Identity politics isn't about embracing people with diverse identities. Trump's white nationalism was a factor, as was the FBI's handling of emails, as was voter suppression, as was a poorly managed campaign. Given how close the result was (~100k voters across 3 states would have flipped it) I don't think Clinton's loss can be easily pinned on one issue.

Brown Paper Bag posted:Where had Hunt advocated for a more American system? The Minister for Rhyming Slang posted:The next expansion in private health coverage is, I believe, through employer incentives for the inclusion of health care in workplace arrangements—perhaps through creative ways of excluding employer health care from the fringe benefits tax regime. The result of this, the freeing of resources which private health care generates—it is not about some special system of privilege, it is about freeing resources for the rest of society—will allow even greater funding to be directed to our elderly,
