Lid posted:It has also recommended that single people aged 22 to 30 without dependents or special exemptions should have to relocate to higher employment areas if they dont want to lose access to benefits after a period of 12 months on benefit. Australia circa 2020: Mines are now operated by FIFO workers from Shepparton who've been kicked off the dole. They are paid minimum wage.

So the biggest expense, the age pension, is alarmingly growing from $39.5b currently to $72.3b by 2023-24. That's almost double!!!! ...except that it's also a 6.24% rate of inflation. In real terms, that's probably only 3.5% or so over the next decade given that inflation is about 2.5% and that's low historically. Meanwhile, those baby boomers retiring means that retirees are a growing proportion of the population, forecast to go from 14% of the population in 2012 to 20% by 2040 - a growth rate of 1.3% y/y. So really, the growth of the cost of the age pension is a couple of percent in real terms, factoring for the increase in retirees and inflation. How is that in dire need of slashing? E: I've also probably hosed the numbers up somehow. Please correct my logic or maths Nam Taf fucked around with this message at 08:22 on May 1, 2014 |

Because this thread deserves to die the way it lived, here's Dennis Shanahanquote:Commission of Audit proposals require political guts to implement Strength. Honour. Family. Tony Abbott is Winston Churchill damnit why won't you subscribe to the narrative.

Even though the COA have said themselves that these proposals are designed to be implemented slowly and incrementally, when Hockey hands down his budget and it doesn't match the COA proposals word for word every second media report will be "HOCKEY SPARES US PAIN BY IGNORING COA PROPOSALS" or some such, ignoring the fact that he is doing EXACTLY what the COA proposes.

Baron Von Face posted:I was informed last week I'll be retrenched on June 30. This budget and the general 'gently caress poor people' sentiment is really messing with my zen/hope-for-the-future thing. If possible get as much evidence as possible so you can get a qualification from TAFE cheaply. Demonstrated experience can knock down a Cert IV business administration to $2-300. It looks good saying I worked at X and gained a piece of paper. Start job hunting now, brush up our resume, they're are people who can do it professionally for you, council also does resume workshops. If you are a member of a union they can support you through this and make sure you're getting everything you are qualified for: eg free training, new suit, etc. At the very least use this time to prepare, pay any outstanding bills, and start saving some cash. A budget helps if you're not already using one. Throw some cash into your super so you get up to $500 from the government for free. You're not alone, you have a little notice and hopefully you can make this as smooth as possible

Now would be an appropriate time to post on Facebook asking if any people who voted Liberal are having buyers remorse. Bonus as it allows you to purge your friends when they real shitheels try to defend it.

If not buyers remorse, steadfast denial, and refusal to listen when you point out how many medications they take every morning and how much they grumble about the cost.
