Ordinary, what does it mean? are all the people who go about their busines just ordinary people...yes they are, ordinary is just a descriptor to the masses of people who inhabit the earth and there's no other word that can be subscribed to us.
Or would you prefer to be called outstanding brilliant and honour worthy and would that satisfy your opinion of yourself?
There's nothing wrong with ordinary people that's what we are to people who don't know us personally.

Why not just say 'other people' then or 'other Australians' or simply 'Australians' as other people normally would.
The offensiveness of being referred to as 'ordinary' by Hockey is degrading because he, by his decisions, words and actions believes that other people, those on low incomes are sub-human.
