wayne swan to freeze pensions for march qtr

Well here we go. They want to save money, but asking for another $290m for asylum seekers program, on top of the $470m they have allocated this year is no problem.

Wane Swan wants to save money, what happened?? he was happy wasting billions, and who gets the short straw? as usuall the struggling pensioners...absolutely disgraceful!!

I wonder if the pollies are going to freeze their wages and perks? I getting a feeling these inept wasters wont!

You have to be Non-Australian and not paid taxes for 40 years in this country to get anything decent or for FREE paid by these clowns.

Also the govt is paying for family members to fly to Sydney for the funerals of those that lost their lives in xmas island boat tragedy...Govt said it's private matter, but they are using TAXPAYERS money!!! Why Sydney?? you cant get any further from Xmas to Sydney.
