First Post
This was the first Sky Reply , from October 2019 . It seems like such a long time ago.......
Reference :- Peta Credlin congratulated Mr Scott Morrison esquire for dropping the number of working- age income support payments to the lowest level in thirty years . ( She seemed very excited about it too . You can tell , because when she is on a roll she can mimic the style of Alan Jones so well that she almost looks like him . )
Absolutely bonzer news Peta . We had already dropped down to around the bottom third of all the
OECD countries for social spending , and now you tell me we are falling even further . Admittedly some overseas dictatorships spent more , and that helped us push further down the list . But indeed , the LNP has definitely made some welcome cutbacks .
People seem to think that just because we are wealthier than 90 % of the world we can waste money on the common good . Well stuff them , I say . And why let Mexico flaunt the honor of having the lowest social spending in the developed world ? We will take that honor from them soon enough , Peta .
Anyway Peta , I was in Mexico awhile ago , with my son Ken junior , but we didn't see much . Apparently it wasn't safe on the streets . Ken junior wouldn't leave the hotel , and I don't blame him . It was shocking. I can see why they wouldn't waste money on those millions of violent , uneducated slum dwellers who don't even wash .
Thanks again for the good news Peta , there is all too much of the other type these days .
Your comrade , Ken .

ReplyDeleteDon't fret , the NDIS will look after you . Just a bit of paperwork to deal with , but get advice first . My cousin Trevor lost a leg in Vietnam . Sadly , the surgeon , no doubt stressed while operating under fire from the forces of Ho Chi Minh , left a skin tag at the amputation site which technically meant it was considered a partial amputation .
DeleteHe does qualify for an ankle brace , and a consideration of twelve dollars each year to have his trouser leg sewn up. I tell him it's better than nothing , since the country has been on the verge of bankruptcy for as long as I can recall .
