richo's take on the pay rise, page-10

The Head of Australia's Treasury is Mr Swan. He is the numero umo isn't he????

Mr Swan is handing out pay rises to politicians and this year our dear old politicians got a 20% rise overall. Gillard has garnished an extra $135k this year and average pollies got $44k plus $5k.

Swan then goes on radio and tells u this is just indexation that is the same that happens in the rest of the workforce.

Oh really????

What remuneration increases do those workers who are subject to indexation rises receive????

Well well well. Dear old Teachers, Police, Nurses and Public Servants have to get by on 3% et al or thereabouts.

Our Government is running a con. They have the hand on the 'tiller' and do not show accountability for their performance.

Lefties probably don't care if Swan and Gillard lie to the mainstream of Australians. After all, there has been little objection to the Carbon Tax lie.

BUT, do the lefties like being taken for fools when it comes to self remuneration of pollies? The teachers and nurses who fund the ALP see themselves rewarded with barely cost of living increases, but Gillard/Swan lead the Australian Parliament to a whole new level of self flagulation when it comes to wage rises.

C'mon Mr Swan. Please show us how Politicians got the same indexation rises as a Teacher/Copper/Nurse/Cleaner..............waiting patiently for you lefties to cover his butt.
