Macklin says that she could live on the dole?

Right then - go for it Jenny, see how long you can do it.

Another disgrace from Labor, and there's no doubt that that is just what she said.

Labor is NEVER getting my vote again. As a swing voter, my vote is of more importance than others, and they're not getting it.

There is no real choice - a vote for the Libbos might pay some debt off
but we are stuck with this debt forever.
Would we be better off with liquidators as in for a failed company?
Maybe declare bankruptcy?

Unfortunately we are stuck with this debt.

If I'd have known how bad Rudd would be, how even worse Gillard would be, and that Abbott would be the alternative, I'd have never for Rudd in 2007.

I have had a few goes at trying this over the years - it is real tough to be unemployed. I would like to see her try.

She has made a goose of herself and managed to say a number of very offensive things.

Luckily I have never faced unemployment, and can't complain about my salary.

She has made an absolute idiot of herself, you're correct, and I am sure that all of those families that she pretends to stand up for, are rightfully offended at these insulting remarks.

I somehow doubt that Labor, or the Greens and Coalition for that matter, have any plans to cut back on the ex-pollies pension.

Nor does the Coalition have any plan to increase the dole payments or to encourage people to live on the dole for the rest of their lives.

Howards record household debt and record taxation was soooo much better for people.
Transferring govt debt to households was one of those mean and tricky things Howard was famous for but dont pretend that Australia wasnt weighed down with record levels of debt under Howard.
Record levels of personal debt, unaffordable housing, record taxation levels and record low savings was Howards legacy.

By transferring previous govt responsibilities to households. Just look at the figures as taxes rose and the govt slashed public education and health funding and govt debt decreased household debt went up, savings went down and housing became more unaffordable to the point were during Howards reign households had to have both parents working just to keep up with debt repayments.
Since Howards demise we have become a nation of savers again and personal debt levels are rapidly falling as families are paying down their debts and putting money away for the future.

It was more like Howard and liberals made people and business so confident, that people over spent confidently. The worst thing Howard did was not to reign in the housing market.

Minister riles welfare groups

Date
January 2, 2013

FAMILIES Minister Jenny Macklin has angered welfare groups by claiming she could live on the $35-a-day Newstart allowance. Huh

On a day when more than 80,000 single parents were shifted from the parenting payment to the lower Newstart allowance, leaving some up to $110 a week worse off, Ms Macklin also urged single parents to return to work, saying it would be ''better for the family'', and their children would have better role models if they were employed.

f.cken macklin is an idiot living in an ivory tower Sad

The dole wouldn't even pay the rent these days thanks to labor inflating a property bubble and someone who has been out of work for years is not going to get a job in an instant Sad

labor made their rents at least $100 a week more expensive with their stimulus property ponzi scam, triple first home buyers scam, land banking scams, negative gearing scams, changes in foreign investment which allowed wealthy chinese to come in and outbid locals at auctions Sad

All strategies designed to pump up the price of property and increase rents as property hoarders and tenants offloaded the increasing risk onto the unsuspecting tenant !!

Well done labor Sad

Sometimes I don't know which is worse. Labor or Liberal ?

Agreed.

I love how some people want to rewrite history and skew facts to make Howard look bad.

Truth is that he is 100 times the PM than Rudd and Gillard combined, and dare I say that Abbott will be too.

I will reserve judgment on Abbott until when he is PM, but I doubt that he will be much better than the other two.

Hope he proves me wrong. Getting rid of Gillard will be an achievement in itself.

Me also - I was conned by Rudd.
He never said he was going to hire over 100,000 public servants & borrow money to pay for them.
He never said that our debt would now be $4.7 trillion.

see my thread on that:

They think they can play us off one party to the other...but I do not give a stuff about political parties...if you are a member of parliament, a media broadcaster, a business leader or group or a public official and you are saying and doing things that amount to crimes against decency, crimes against the poor, crimes against peace and crimes against humanity, then you can presume that there is a file with your name on it and to the extent you have come under notice, everything you do and say is being documented...
