Dear Editor,
All members of the community should be watching carefully how this government is working to make;
1. The poorest sector of the community even poorer; co-payments to visit your GP and consequent referrals;
2. Increasing fuel excise when fuel is essential for those of us living in the regions, while not changing the rebate to farmers and miners.
3. Looking to reduce minimum wages;
4. Preventing the growth of the Solar and Wind industries.
The base line of their objectives is to make us a USA look alike with working poor and wealthy supporters of unfair & unequal taxation. The rot started with John Howard when the country had more money than sense. Labour made some errors in rolling out schemes to help us avoid a severe recession in the GFC.
The costs to the country would have been much greater under a Hockey / Corman combination. All citizens who rely on our government have my sympathy
