ewe2 posted:New Daily surveyed MPs about whether they could live on Newstart or had ever lived on benefits: BCA are loving inconsistent as hell. “Pay workers less”, “increase social services payments”. So they want to pay poor people less, but they also want poor people to have more money (that will be spent in their industries). Clowns. Maybe if they lobbied their own members to increase wages people would be spending more.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-07/peter-costello-says-well-be-dead-before-national-debt-paid-off/9736158 Peter fuckin Costello calling people earning between $100k-$200k the "forgotten people" who are badly in need of tax relief. What loving planet does this cretin live on? Also, I love how he says someone earning 200k is paying 47% tax. Deliberately applying the top marginal tax rate to the entire amount. gently caress these horrible pricks.

Can’t wait for the rules mandating that every new building must be a minimum of 200m tall, and that parks need to be ripped up for car parking and apartment buildings.
