The Labor government relies on dependency for its political control.
To see the outcomes of their high taxing, high expenditure, vote buying approaches for Australia one should consider Victoria their role model.
Writing in a News Corp opinion piece, Mr Bouris revealed that by 2025, more than half of working-age Australians will receive their primary income from the government.
'Right now in Australia, more than half of working-age adults get their main source of income from the government,' he said.
'That includes income from public sector jobs, as well as from JobSeeker, family payments, disability support, and more. According to The Australian Financial Review, we're at the highest level of dependency since World War II.'
Mr Bouris also cited The Australian, which reported that 82 per cent of all jobs created over the past two years were government-funded. In contrast, just 53,000 private sector jobs were added last year - while public sector employment surged at five times the usual rate.
He warned that the rise in government-funded jobs was distorting the labour market and driving down productivity.
'But here's the worst part. To sustain this level of income support and public hiring, the government has to dramatically increase both taxes and spending. And that's what they've done,' he said.
