I wouldn't have thought so.

Didn't want to go there anyway.

i cannot for the life of me see why they scattered it hodge podge the way they have

smarter minds than mine, obviously

I have friends who've been advocating for a social wage for decades, and they were regarded as nutters. And then suddenly the Government is paying everyone who applies $1500 a fortnight.

And free childcare was laughed at ... but now it's here.

It's going to be hard to put a lot of this stuff back in the box when this is all over.

Well that's all good then.
So, do you have any ideas as to how we, as "Hard Saved Resources Reducing As We Speak", could also receive some "support"?

Not when we all have to pay for it.

This is smashing up our deficit.

Spiralling stupid cost of living, greed and people paying ridiculous amounts for B&Mortar drove the 2 income family. Have nows drove up personal debt. Property investors drove up rent.


And now people want free child care, paid leave for a year to have a kid... ffs....

We and several of our friends did all this without any assistance. A few weeks off (not for the Dads) when kids come. Paid for child care or modified hours as the kids got older...

Why the **** should businesses or the public purse pick up this? What ****s me more - subsidised daycare for Unemployed single mums!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, I was thinking, if I hadn't sold the Defender to buy the GTSR, I'd have $50K in the bank!!.....and wouldn't that be nice today!
if someone were to offer me anywhere near what it's worth, it would've been sold yesterday, but they are virtually impossible to sell at the moment,..which is totally understandable (No way I'd buy such a thing in the current climate), no matter how good a car they are,....and they are VERY good.. Don't believe me re saleability?....Check out the stock of any HSV Dealer & see how many HSVs they cannot sell?
I suspect there may be a few forum members who may have to sell a few "hard earned" assets to just to survive.
I ain't complaining, well I am I suppose, but that's just the way it is.
