Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Since i'm a young middle class single guy with no children this budget pretty much doesn't effect me. Some changes to HECS repayments for 2015-2016 but hopefully that'll all be paid off before the end of the decade and the effects will be minor.

This I like

MPs super freeze

The Government has made a submission to the independent Remuneration Tribunal proposing to freeze the salaries
and allowances of parliamentarians (MPs), departmental secretaries and all other public office holders at current
levels for 12 months, over the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

The freeze will also apply to the pensions of
former parliamentarians received under the closed Parliamentary Contributory Superannuation Scheme.(Source:
Budget Paper No 2 [p 70].)

Now to introduce MP's salary caps

I got told off by a greens MP on Twitter. This makes me feel selfrighteous and confident that I'm doing the right thing. If you're pissing off the greens, you're on the right path. ;-)

Yeah for once I seem to be one of those who will be least screwed by the latest budget.

Can't say I'm that upset about most of it TBH. Welfare cuts have been needed for a long time.

Pension age of 70 is a bit rough but by the time I get to retire I expect there will be no pension at all, so meh.

What's magic mike going to be upset about? Rich b*stard have to pay the defecit levy?
