Returning the compliment

Today's DomPost reports that Australia is watching New Zealand's welfare reforms (p2). Their government is apparently looking to NZ "for inspiration."

We should return the compliment and look to Australia for inspiration also.



(It seems there are moves afoot to push it even higher.)

Agreed Lindsay - we should be moving progressively to 70 over the next say 20 years.

We should look to Tony Abbot not Malcolm Turnbull: Abbot was rolled partly because he was on track to abolish welfare

no: we should just abolish the whole, communist, cesspool in one fell swoop.

Two orders in council can do it: just set all benefit levels (including super) to zero, and permit hospital to charge fees.
