>> the "1950's" PM has an "office for the status of women". Ha ha. You mean the Office for the Status of Wimmin which was set up by the ALP?
Howard is unwilling to face the electoral backlash from disbanding this
one - yet. Wait until the feral ranting from the ATSIC disbanding dies down until
the OSW comes in the sights. >> And now, the baby bonus will be worth $3000, and it will increase
>> to $5000 in 2008. Hmm - not sexy enough for you? This is straight-out bribe - not actually
a sexy policy. Government interference comes in two main forms:
- Controlling people's lives to make them 'better off'. Like banning fat-ads.
- Stealing money from some people to subsidize more 'blessed' people. Like
giving out bribes.
>> And how are the population getting wealthier under this kind of
>> situation? Look at changes in median income (and what it will buy) over time. Australians
are getting richer. They would be getting a whole lot more richer under a
smaller government, but they are still getting richer. >> Did John Howard find a wishing well or a money tree this time? No, Johnny hasn't racked up 96 billion on the credit card (unlike his
ALP predecessors). No money tree. No sexy policies. >>Why will capital accumulate when generational poverty will be further
>> entrenched and more dragged down into it? When taxes will be needed to
>> subsidise the intial grant and further welfare paymetns to those who are taught
>> to be unemployable? I'm not sure what this means. Feel free to elaborate.
