Newstart, page-10

Dear Dave R.

I applaud your comments regarding Newstart. If I recall correctly about 12 years ago you were bragging on this forum how your 'disability pension' was greatly increased to equal the 'aged pension'. At the time you were below retirement age so effectively you got a kick start from our Government, which ofcourse helped Rudd/Gillard/Rudd hide the true unemployment statistics ala. Hawke in the mid-80's.

I'd imagine you are genuinely concerned for the welfare of our less advantaged citizens so 'bravo' to you for your interest in the lifes of these unfortunate souls. TCS
