The rent assistance is barely noticed considering how much rents are increasing. Just another example of how out of touch politcians are.

You are a self funded retiree and you dare to whinge you do not get anything? How lucky are you that you were able to save for retirement. That means you either earned enough to have enough super or were in business and made enough you could be self funded. Assuming people are "wasting money and...

It is ridiculous that an increae of "up to $41.50" is considered "generous" when rent increases alone have been significantly higher than that. That does not even consider the other increases in the cost of living. It just reinforces once again how out of touch the government is. Howevere they...

It shows how out of touch the politicians on both sides are. They will all say this is a generous increase while ignoring that costs are actually going up much higher than the official inflation rate. Meanwhile politicians retire on pensions far beyond what most working people willever see.

So the only "bonus" pensioners are getting is from going back to work? Rather discrimanatory against those who can no longer work or do not want to return to the workforce. It also ignores age discrimination against older workers. The government is only doing this so they avoid the issue of...

If this in a Woolies why was the staff member working in the check out area not paying attention to what she was doing?

A major increase? Like the recent "big" increase in rent assistance which in reality was less that $20 per fortnight? Prrhaps some time on the aged pension would give them a better perspective on how inadequate it is.

So those on the Aged Pension get nothing while those on Job Seeker get an increase. Supposedly to bring it to 90% of the Aged Pension. Completely ignores that the Aged Pension hasn't kept up with cost of living pressures. So in reality job seekers won't really be better off.

If Woolies gave everyone $500 cash out when it was requested how long would it be before the cashiers ran out of cash to make change? Perhaps he should have used an ATM.

So basically those who already have lots of assets will get more and those who don't will get nothing. Another example of looking after the well off over those who aren't.

Just because economic times are tough should not be used as an excuse to allow people to steal from stores. She was in the wrong and committed a crime. People will say they should have called the police. By the time they arrived she would have been gone.
