And a few people still say that the present government are not an absolute disgrace. Trying to live within your means (instead of running up even more debt) while dealing with the appalling state of the budget left behind by your incompetent predecessor is a disgrace? Try again! I would agree with you had it been true but the fact is the current government are sending troops into war to fight for a pay cut and yes Tony and the Boys are despicable. They have no problem wasting $1.2 Million to tell lies to pensioners ? We have the capability to help these innocent people in Iraq, so why shouldn't we help? Go stick your head back in the ground - it's the only thing you're good for. I am not against helping in Iraq my comment relates to not trying to cheapskate the soldiers risking their lives. The conservatives like their cannon fodder cheap. Could you be any more disrespectful to the members of the ADF? Do you honestly think they do what they do for the money? My uncle served for 25 years and loved his job. He now does a similar job where he works for the QLD government and makes three times what he did in the RAAF as an officer. But even if it was about money, as I've said in a previous post, members of the ADF are certainly not hard done-by by any standard what with their generous entitlements and tax-free danger pay and so on. These men and women joined because they want to serve our country, so the least you can do is show some respect when referring to them. Could you be any more disrespectful to the members of the ADF?
I doubt that you could be more disrespectful than to give them a real money pay cut while they are risking their lives, or supporting those who do it to them. Since when is a pay rise a pay cut??? when the rise is less than what it should have been, it is in effect a cut. When the rise is, in fact, more than what they received previously, it is actually a pay RISE you doofus!!! when you grow a brain, get back to me! Your surrender on this subject is noted and accepted. Surrender? There are only so many times I am willing to tell you something, if you want to act like an idiot and ignore it don't expect me to keep coming back again and again ... it has been explained to you why it is a CUT. If you want to pretend it's not, fine, no skin off my nose. You must enjoy being the village idiot .
