Super !!!!!!!

Hi

It's me again. The governments MRRT could have been designed better or not thought of at all.
If the government wanted to help people, especially the low income, with their super, all the government had to do is to legislate ( LAW) the employer contribution from 9 to 12 percent. That's it.


Thank you.

The cost of welfare !!!!!!!!!!!

Hi again !!!!!!!


This post is about the cost of welfare. Lets see what we can do here. The current budget for training is $1000.00. If we, say raise it to $10000.00 (not all of it spent), then the government of the day would have to spend about 7 billion dollars (one off payment). Thats a lot of money. Right ?

Now, there are 600000 people unemployed at $ 12,600.00 (CPI indexed) (most of these are probably long term unemployed). The total cost is $7.56 billion dollars per year (CPI indexed).

If the government of the day were to take the above option, then we have high quality training for the unemployed and maybe get a good, high paying job.

Get the picture ?

A letter to the liberal leader

To the liberal leader,

You talk about hope , reward, opportunity. A few years ago I paid $ 15000 of my own money to improve my job prospects in the IT field. Alas, I have been unemployed for 7 years. During this time, I have never had the opportunity to get a job in IT.

Please, I implore you not to wind  back protections of the 457 visa. Please adopt a balanced approach.

The price !!!!

Hi

A local issue. Most recently I read in the paper that
a power company wants to charge extra for knocking down
trees to build the necessary infrastructure. This action
is audacious since they have made a $800,000,000 dollar
profit.

Another money grab or sensible business?

Gay rights

Hi

As a former defence scientist I have developed a keen sense of observation.
With my powers of observation, I notice that there are same sex relationships in the world.
With this in mind, the policy makers should recognise them and the law should account for them.

I hope you concur.

The banks part 2

Hi

A change of pace. Since the miners are being taxed or not, a bank tax
is the next step. That is, to tax the banks or not. What I mean is that if the policy makers
say to the banks, get rid of the fees and then the government does not tax the individual
banks.

Let me know what you think?
