I hope she slashes the toner cartridge fund.

Yep, I agree, I'm so over Howards waste pissing in the pocket of middle class welfare.

This will go down well !!!!!!!

"Late last year, Ms Gillard flagged welfare reforms in the budget to maximise workforce participation and boost productivity. Yesterday, she alluded to incentives, training programs and carrot-and-stick measures to ensure ''that every Australian who can work, does work''.Of the 2 million she mentioned, about 800,000 worked part-time and wanted to work more, while another 800,000 were not even registered as unemployed, including discouraged job seekers.

''And there are many thousands of individuals on the disability support pension who may have some capacity to work,'' she said.

Ms Gillard also used the speech to advance her argument for the $1.8 billion flood levy which will help cover the flood repair bill in Queensland and Victoria and ensure the budget returns to surplus on 2012-13 as scheduled."

Ms Gillard is heading for serious trouble with an injunction if she does not wise up - why pick battles you cant win to support the same failed Nazi policies Australia has rejected? End corporate welfare today.

She should be starting at the bottom of your list first.

How many people here have said when companies were doing badly they critisied CEO's for not taking pay cuts, yet havent demanded the same of our pollies.

I would like to see her implement a system by where the PM makes $20 or $30mill a year, gets taxed on it like everyone else, then when they are out, they are gone, no more gravy train.

They are the only employees who cost you millions long long long after they are gone.

As for the health care rebate, at what point so you think the rebate should start to phase out?

Taking a contrary view to many of you, I see the health insurance rebate as very like c'wealth funding of private schools - very necessary & equitable.
People who choose not to avail themselves of the public hospital system, like those who choose not to use private schools, are still entitled to a share of the tax revenue which they contribute and which should not go exclusively to the public sector.

Nice of her to go after the DSP receipients. Attack those who actually cant work. I have seen a few now DSP receipients off themselves because they couldnt live with the fact they couldnt work and lived in pain on a daily basis.
Of course Gillard knows more than what Doctors do.

Seriously why don't they just merge?????
This is a policy I'd expect Abbott to release, demonising the welfare reciepents as if they are the cause of budget defiecits.
As mentioned, Health rebate,baby bonus,FHB all should go.
Also this paid maternity crap for up to $150K, learn to budget, it should be a sliding scale cutting out totally at $120K.
Demonise the poor subsidise those able to fend for themselves.
And tell us it's a "Fair Go for Working Australian Families"
I hope they get flogged just as hard as NSW Labor in 2013(as long as Abbotts not leading or any Johnny puppet)

There's another one - subsidies to the wealthy private schools, who simply don't need the money.
