[donnashuggy]

I'm extremely confused, are they or aren't they?

I swat a fly to kill it, so I assume that is what you are threatening me with by posting that pic, I take your threat seriously and it will be reported to the appropriate authorites .... I dont take those kind of threats lightly

Seriously?

There was no threat.  

I think that report would give the authorities something to laugh about.  But please go ahead if it makes you feel better.

Hi everyone, the discussion is getting a little heated.  Please be sure to keep your communications civil.  Thanks!

A public service is a service which is provided by government to people living within its jurisdiction, either directly (through the public sector) or by financing provision of services.

The term is associated with a social consensus (usually expressed through democratic elections) that certain services should be available to all, regardless of income.

---

What happens though, if the public service has limited funds due to the economic climate, to finance the provision of those services?

Would it not be more prudent that a consolidation of certain services  be better utilization of those limited funds?

Public, Schools, hospitals, police force etc..... . Can reduce funding if funds limited but consolidate services?. Not sure what you mean by consolidate services?

This is the myth perpetrated by many that all the welfare entitlements are free, doctors visits, hospitals and educatiion is free.

NO it isn't never has been and never will be. OUR taxes pay for it all. The working people of Australia pay for these services by paying income tax.

They are free to the people who do not participate in the workforce and therefore they don't pay tax to contribute to their use of these services.

Those are free public services - public schools, public hospitals, bulk bill clinics - available to all.

---

These services are not free, have never been free and never will be free. They are paid for by income tax paid by workers. OK!

Is that your issue? Taxes? Is that it? Is that really all it boils down to? That you object to your taxes being used to support indigenous communities?

Cause if so I have the answer: I (as well as many others) are more than hapy for OUR taxes to go toward keeping traditional communities alive. So WE will pay for it.

YOU can pay YOUR share of taxes to keep those real leeches subsidised - global corporations and mining companies. Cause I don't want my taxes to keep those **bleep**s and their shareholders profitable. 

There. Now we are even.
