I've pointed out some of these points here recently and the silence from the usual lefties has been deafening.

Today is the 1st real increase in core benefit rates for 44 years.

This was not done by a left wing caring socialist government with huge surpluses.

It was done by a uncaring poor oppressing neoliberal National Government that is barely back into surplus.

Despite the date, this is not an April Fool's joke.

The same uncaring poor oppressing neoliberal National Government has also today
(on top of $25 a week extra for benefits):

Increased the childcare assistance rate from $4 to $5 an hour
Increased in-work tax credits for low income families
Increased paid parental leave to 18 weeks
Increased the minimum wage to $15.25 an hour - the highest in the world relative to the median wage
Increased superannuation payments by 2.7%
Abolished zero hour contracts
This hateful neoliberal Government must be destroyed comrades.

Liebor are changing the subject.
Mallards found a decrepit HCC place where other units have been fixed
but not that one.
And the health harridan has found that hospital food doesn't look
impressive...
Expect the liebor whip to start screaming about some supposed injustice

He is. About holiday pay laws first brought in by Labour. Then shoved under
the carpet and ignored when it was found they were almost impossible to understand without Labours New English dictionary*.

Bit I like is : $25 a week for beneficiarys (with kids). Exposes yet another
of Rich's many lies. Remember last year when it was announced Rich was
almost lyrical and certainly vociferous in his claims it'd never happen. Typical of the idiotic marxist muppet. Like most of the loopy left not a functional braincell. Could this be due to an over use of drugs? :)

Pooh
