FINANCIALLY PLANNING SWINGS AND ROUNDABOUTS

(re-worked blogging)

I watched Question Time(26 May 2014) where Prime Minister Tony Tory Abbott misguided the Parliament when he said everybody would be better off from this Budget!
Better the pain now or worse cuts in the future... It's shared pain he said. 
The figures show the Rich will continue to find tax loop-holes, financial planners don't have to have to serve their clients interests and the PM is taking a pay freeze! 
We know this is a lie. Anybody will tell you this punishment of the poor will see increased homelessness, mental illness, suicides, domestic violence, euthanasia and abortions.

Before the election this Government promised refugees a cruel regime, second, blame the sick, disabled, unemployed, single parents for being parasites. Thankfully their deceipt and deflections are found out and reported by some ethical media - click here

I know the experiences of being young, homeless and unemployed with little government support. It can add kindling to future mental illness which you never fully recover from, and will see me needing to apply again for the Disability Support Pension which Minister Andrews for Human pittance Services is going to make more of an ordeal than it already is, and make me sicker. Bastard.

My first foray into political expression as a voluntary contributor whilst on the Under 18 dole
when John Howard was Treasurer: $36.00 per week - further info on title bar tabs.

I've depended on welfare off and on over my 50years. I empathise with people who are being targeted in this budget.

The Government does not pay any regard for facts from professionals with evidence. Purely punitive for being poor. 

The reality of life for the poorer citizens was confrontational this week, when a 67 year old female pensioner shared her experience and anxieties over Hockey's fairly taxing budget:

Will Prime Minister Abbott and Treasurer Joe Hockey be inspired to send us over 50's who've nurtured family units, volunteered in communities, done a bit of this and a bit of that, have no superannuation to supplement a pension, put us on New Start payments till we're 100years old?

How come the "infrastructure" Prime Minister isn't producing affordable rental housing for people with casual, insecure work, supplemented by survival pennies from Parliament?

As the Cabinet have foregone any moral authority, I wouldn't be surprised if they suggest the only job training is for a career in the sex industry! Still be able to work from home, safely on the phone.
What's your experience? I was a voluntary telephone counsellor when I was on the dole at 19yrs. I've been a performer for most of my life. We have nothing for you except helping men to masturbate. Easy. You won't even need a condom, so perfect for Roman Catholics!

The old Madonna and Whore paradigm articulated by Dr. Anne Summers who set up Prime Minister Paul Keating's Office for Women, will need  a republication of her book about the lack of choices women are increasingly facing.

There's no news about job creation, only job axing - only begging and being exploited for your time and labours.

If you are a Christian you probably will perceive the news of increased funding for Chaplains in State schools as beneficial.

To alleviate the burden all our children can praise the Lord and learn about Divine Providence! 

This is a bi-partisan policy. Cuts to single parent incomes, removal of scientific projects to contain human induced climate change catastrophes. Halt development of new jobs in renewable energy. 

Suffer little children, prayer is free and if your parents face eviction because their unemployment safety net has been cut, the Chappie may well say Trust in God's will
It's meant to be.

“Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.”

Great insight from Napoleon Bonaparte 1769-1821 France

Bugger the Budget says the Pirate Queen Grannie who is fed up begging for the DSP - We can sail to the Gold Coast where there are other Pirates who are devilishly clever at finding Treasure! It'll be like in the olden days!
We don't need school, all we Pirates need is swimming lessons to survive the rising sea-levels!

A TALE OF TWO SISTERS
 at Frankston Sculpture Park.

Take your anti-depressants, and smile please!

Here is my Melbourne sister who was encouraged to leave school at 14 to work in a factory, never had a problem with getting a job.
I completed Year 12, had many barriers to finding and keeping a job.

I have wept during Centrelink interviews, my self-esteem knocked about by questioning, of my needing support because nobody will give me an interview, or a job that lasts, or makes me ill with bullying.

Now my sister is a public servant with Super and stress from men, mainly men trying to shirk financial support for their children.

She has good Union negotiated wages, but half the workers have been let go so she does the work of three until she collapses....

THE LIES - BOLD AS AN ABBOTT SEEKING POWER - HERE IS OUR PRINCE TONY.

Section 3: Therefore it is unnecessary for a prince to have all the good qualities I have enumerated, but it is very necessary to appear to have them. And I shall dare to say this also, that to have them and always to observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright, and to be so, but with a mind so framed that should you require not to be so, you may be able and know how to change to the opposite.
The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present.

Recent protests in Melbourne against unfair budget measures.

I remember what it was like to not have enough cash for a litre of milk until the next dole payment. I remember when I went into a Medical centre to see a Doctor because I was going insane and anxious I was turned away because it was not bulk-billing and I had no health-care card; not poor enough, not rich enough, only worried I wasn't well enough to drive home.

Tony Abbott's daughters don't seem to be suffering from any form of nepotism guilt - perhaps they don't know what it means - having their special sense of entitlement being Tony Abbott's daughters.
ARE WE GETTING THE WRONG PICTURE?(from the Fairfax Press)

Some Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade staff are annoyed Prime Minister Tony Abbott's daughter Louise is working at Australia's embassy in Geneva, which is headed by former Coalition staffer Peter Woolcott.

But a spokesman for DFAT said the job helping represent Australia to the United Nations was awarded on the basis of merit.

Jealousy over plum jobs in overseas locations was a staple of workplace life at DFAT, but departmental insiders said there were concerns over Ms Abbott being hired in Geneva, given the political connections of the mission's boss.

On Friday morning, the Prime Minister was on the defensive over reports daughter Frances received a $60,000 scholarship from the Whitehouse Institute of Design and that she was recommended by Les Taylor, a Liberal Party donor and chairman of the institute's board of governors. 

Mr Abbott said Frances had been awarded the scholarship on merit and that family should be kept out of the frontline of politics. 

He said he had not been lobbied by a friend to allow private colleges access to government subsidies. The budget introduced direct financial grants for students taking courses in private colleges.

PRIME MINISTER, WHERE ARE ALL THE JOBS AND WORTHWHILE COURSES YOU PROMISE FOR THE UNDER 30'S. NOT EVERYBODY HAS PARENTS WHO CAN SUPPORT THEM WHEN THEY HAVE NO SOURCE OF INCOME?
IF YOU HAVE A DEGREE BUT CAN'T FIND A JOB WHAT COURSE ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE THEM DO?

IN PARLIAMENT THE OPPOSITION RAISED THE NEW COST OF DEGREES IF THE BUDGET PASSES THE SENATE - ENGINEERING UP TO $100,000 - AT A TIME WHEN YOU MAY HAVE A MORTGAGE AND KIDS...

THE PRIME MINISTER WILL PAY approx. $7,000 for her Design degree. She must have a generous guardian angel.


Did people really believe Tony Abbott and the rest of them would make Australia a fairer policy place? Did it ring true the Liberals would really go ahead with Gonski reforms and the NDIS?

 

At least the Minister for Women(& Prime Minister)Tony Abbott's daughters didn't have to do lap dancing to pay for their rent and books, or medicines when they caught a cold...
It seems Tony doesn't want his daughter's to experience 'character building' austerity.

It's government sanctioned exploitation. When the kids are feeling their parents stress at being evicted Scripture Union will have room under their tents. That solves the child-care issue in the school holidays.

AUSTRALIAN'S ARE ENVIED FOR THE WORKER'S PARADISE WE CREATED. Conservatives want to return us to a pre-Whitlam Australia. Nobody should feel entitled to anything from the coffers of the Commonwealth. If you don't have enough money you're scum.(MONEY HOWEVER YOU GET IT IS WHAT GIVES YOU RESPECT)
