That's not waste.
That's helping ordinary families.

Before making baseless statements you still have to actually talk about the design of your subsidy thought bubble. Because the way you have described it, it is a complete waste.

The subsidy in its nature would be an easing of cost of living pressure on family budgets paid for by removal of Government waste and unnecessary welfare spending.

There would be areas to be looked at -

1) I'd freeze public sector pay to inflation only.
2) I'd increase GST to 17.5%
3) I would cut unemployment benefit
4) I would removal Government waste on public sector projects

It would be a subsidy designed to help and assist families.
I'd have a very family orientated budget for Australia, and it would work.

1. You haven't answered how you will control the cost of electricity rising, eventuating in the subsidy becoming quite useless in helping people with living costs.

2. How much will the levy be?

3. So basically you would increase a tax to hand a little back? Genius.
