    Millions of Australians to see a boost in Centrelink payments—are you getting yours?

    You are obviously either misunderstanding or you have been placed in a different category or you have had significant changes in your income or assets. I can guarantee you the CPI/Average Wage adjustment to pensions will never ever give you remotely anything like that so I suggest you speak to...

    ‘You are the King Grub!’: Live TV clash spirals into political chaos

    This is typical of the new ABC and I am talking about Channel 7. Skase is at it again through his mouthpieces. That is why I never watch AFL and other programs on that channel.

    Petrol is cheaper than ever in these five major cities! See how low prices have gone

    Here you go again. Is 1.64% drop a plummeting. You cannot hide your bias. Anything to help Albo to stay in the Lodge and it is so blatant that it makes me sick.

    'The envy of the world': Australia’s retirees are set to become some of the wealthiest

    Well hou have plenty racism but little logic. I thought this was about Super.? You do not get the benefit of that compulsory super contribution unless you are working you nincompoop. To get the pension or part pension you need to qualify for it. You have lost the plot. This nation is a...

    'The envy of the world': Australia’s retirees are set to become some of the wealthiest

    I note you are a very strong ALP supporter but you left your bias blind you in this instance. The word’ most‘and ‘some’ sum up the reality. if they had super in the first place what happens is that you “might” get super but your pension loss is probably just offseting that amount of super...

    'The envy of the world': Australia’s retirees are set to become some of the wealthiest

    Why is it a big mistake to withdraw from your Super in emergent circumstances? If it is to be kept only for Governments to reduce pension expenditure then it is not done for the Superannuant’s real needs as they occur. If a member of a superannuation fund had the ability to access their Super...

    'The envy of the world': Australia’s retirees are set to become some of the wealthiest

    If it was the envy of the World why has it not taken been taken up in other countries? Yes it is successful for the reasons given but who pays most of it ? Compulsorily contributed by the Employers but at what cost to the community. Higher costs to Employers are necessarily built into the...

    Millions set to benefit from a major mobile coverage upgrade—are you one of them?

    You keep plugging the ALP. You cannot help yourself. However please take note of the most recent poll result ( LNP 52% ALP 48%). Voters are not stupid. They judge you over the full term performance not on the crumbs that suddenly come forth just before the election.

    Millions of Australians to see a boost in Centrelink payments—are you getting yours?

    Well said. Productivity has gone down about 45% in the last 30 years in spite of technology advances. However serious crime has gone Jo. No doubt some military service would be useful in dealing with today’s youth.

    Millions of Australians to see a boost in Centrelink payments—are you getting yours?

    No that is not right. Those people still living WILL get an increase based on CPI and Average Wage changes for the period 01/07/2024 to 31/12/2024. it is not a guess.

    Millions of Australians to see a boost in Centrelink payments—are you getting yours?

    Sorry the $1.55 should have been $2.55 and I was looking at the Increase in the Jobkeeper which is at $781 per fortnight. Inspdices for cpi and wages( average) means the increase is likely to only be about .065 of 1%. Australia has had close to the highest inflation because we shut down...

    Millions of Australians to see a boost in Centrelink payments—are you getting yours?

    What can I say. $1.55 per week will significantly help pensioners and the like. Wowee. Let’s drink some champagne. You people are deranged if you think this will ‘greatly boost or provide relief’ ( your stupid words) for these recipients. Your bias is unquestionable and you obviously are...

    Australians are paying double for essentials—here’s what the government is doing about it

    Ok I know what a budget is after all I am financially trained. Some people do need an extra hand but my point from the beginning was that Albo could have helped well before but came up with the idea just in time for the upcoming election. The other point I am unhappy about is that you had it in...

    Australians are paying double for essentials—here’s what the government is doing about it

    All I am saying is that what you compared for 2022-23 is only the Expense provided for for both pensioners and the tribes but in that budget one has to take into account what element of revenue each contributed through tax. Nearly all eventual pensioners contribute revenue to Government of all...

    Australians are paying double for essentials—here’s what the government is doing about it

    Yes of course it is a budget covering a period of time no one is disputing that but you are only comparing expense level without considering taxes being paid not only within that budget but for previous years as well. That is how pensions are funded. As I said within that budget there are taxes...

    Australians are paying double for essentials—here’s what the government is doing about it

    You obviously are a ex public servant or an advisor to the Government. You have to convert figures to a per capita amounts and then compare tax paid by pensioners during their working lives and the tax paid by the NT tribes etc to get a proper picture. Just throwing bold figures doesn’t tell the...
