this gillard government is a classic socialist government in that its sole reason for being is to stay in power whilst running debt-economies, producing social-engineering laws and always using news and press media propaganda.
gillard is a perfect example of the term "A woman's perogitive".
Eddie McGurie today on The Hot Seat said the HECS scheme should be abolished and that tertiary education should be free and paid for by the futures fund because free education is an investment in the future. so many people reject uni and skills training because of the HECS tax on theirs and Australia's future. Yes Gillard Govt is set to cull disability pensionersto get bludger-hate-vote while middle classers get more in welfare. all those who "leech" return all their money to local economies.
@TheWesternTasmanian The "leech" ones are in a minority, I forgot to say that. I think it would be great if they did abolish HECS fees. It really does invest in the future. Gillard and Abbott had free fees when they went to Uni. Hopefully history will record those of us who opposed Uni fees, I was there in the student demonstrations which were huge. Politically, the Governments that are so "fiscal" always seem to get their own way.
@saintfletcher - extreme over pricing of housing especially renting is the elephant in Australia's econmic room. Education, training anf jobs are all secondary endeavours after the need for people to have stable, decent, safe and affordable long term homes. Too many baby-boomer mum & dad landlords with their invesntment properties havs skyrocketed Aussie housing costs since nception of negative gearing. also bono should be killed.
A shrewd observation there, about countries who offer free education. I've never heard anyone ever address that, and it's true. Thanks for thought-provoking.
Well said Sir.
