Ahh yes! isn’t life at the top end great. The top 20% are laughing($7000 in cuts)
while the bottom 80% get around $10 a week.

The truth is that ABS statistics show that in 2010/11 around 80% of Australians received less
than $78,000. That will have changed in more recent years but it still gives an idea of the situation.

To get to $200,000 is an aspiration most likely have but the stats tell us that even with wage rises
most wont make it.

Those at the bottom can always work harder, there now will be more of an incentive, a financial one, to pull finger and be more productive. This will be of great benefit to the Country.
