If you, or I, employed by some company, get "moved on", dismissed, persuaded to leave because of poor performance, we,then, assumimg any lack of actual wrong doing , just poorly performed, receive the final pay-out which is due to us, plus super. No goodbye party perhaps - and a final payment subject to the amounts due. End of story.

Anna Bligh will now "get" $150,00 per annum - for life??

Pension??

Just as other incompetents will - Gillard, Swan, et al. So whatever the prospect, they're all laughing all the way to the bank. A lifetime of not worrying about the Woolworths bills! Or how to pay the mortgage.

Oh God! - give us the strength to understand such unfathomable depths of blatant, excrutiatingly bad, evil, unjustness.

Worse - it's OUR money paying them!

and these free-loaders have the gall to attack the miners for "greed"???

ALL politicians, whatever 'color', need to look at, and adjust, this gross inbalance. It's morally disgusting noses in troughs stuff.

Bligh's off on a posh tour of France it's rumored. And resigned quickly to benefit her pension calculation levels it's said! Wonder when they booked the tickets! Lucky her!

Black Saturday region still tragically learning of more suicide tragedy even as I write.

No spare money available for THEIR depleted coffers to offer these poor souls some helping hand out of their "black pits" of despair. But always plenty of filthy lucre for the Pollies.
