Where does the money come from? It's a simple question, if all these services are free then please enlighten us all as to where the money comes from to pay for all these so called free services.

I'll give you a clue, income tax, tax on income from workers.

Nope. It comes from general revenue.

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!

They are, as my later post stated 'public goods' provided by Govt. They are free to all members of society.

The Govt collects tax and redistributes it to areas of need.

Nope they are not.

Income tax is only a portion of the general revenue pool, which we all contribute to and all benefit from.

You are wrong. Taxes are collected and the Govt redistributes them. There is no -  the unemployed don't pay tax so haven't contributed to Govt services.. blah blah..involved.

ALL consumers pay GST.

The Govt provides 'public goods' to all members of society. There are no conditions attached.
