I don't earn enough to get a tax cut.
So I'm only a soft worker.
My work isn't worth anything according to the Liberal party.
Liffle kids going to school should just run the gauntlet.
Why would the death of a child on the road be of any significance.
Anyone earning less than $39000 per annum does not deserve a tax cut but the Liberal's are governing for all

Hey I didnt make the rules receiving not receiving a disability pension, when one travel overseas. I also didnt say I agreed with it. Personally, I couldnt give a shellgrit what they did in their life, pension or no pension

You also ( somehow) failed to mention they received an inheritance, now it all makes sense

I didn't originally go into all the details of their inheritance because the issue I was discussing was Govt cutting the disability pension when someone happens to take a short holiday overseas. I didn't think the personal details of how they came by the money were relevant. But you thought it could be evidence they were not struggling which is why I explained further.

To me, it shouldn't matter how a disabled person comes by the money, be it from a small inheritance, a gift, their own savings, it should not affect their pension if they are on a holiday visa and only gone a short while. Not talking about someone who is going overseas to live, that would be different.

I must admit it can be easy to initially think people can't be struggling if they can afford an overseas holiday but these days, sometimes it can be cheaper to head off for a short break overseas than to holiday in Australia.

I think the gov may have relaxed the rules a bit re pensions/overseas travel, worth a look if you are interested

Good news if they have. I think they were too harsh in past years. Bit late for sis in law's husband though as he needed to go into high care a few weeks back, so no more holidays for him.

Re Martin's original comment.

Governments often fiddle with things like taxes and subsidies, or else they promise to, and I suspect it has more to do with how much support or vote numbers they think it will get them, more than how much they 'value' any particular occupation.
