WP the NDIS has bipartisan support stop falling for labor spin that they are the only party for it.
Great biapartisan support on show this morning in parliament
Bill put forward to raise the medicare levy to cover the funding of the NDIS and hardly any opposition pollies there.
Great show of bipartisan support right there
Maybe the libs have had enough of her spin, like most Australians have.
I heard Swan last night on ABC couldnt answer the question how this government has continually made a profit yet blown it all.
Like this BB. Cut it but raise other family benefits. JH spot on they take it from one hand give it you in another and call it something else.
Lucky we have a few months left of the budget surplus dribble they kept harping on about that will not happen for a long time.
With all due respect daniel, I don't give a stuff what side of politics you sit on if you say are going to support something and in particular something as important as the NDIS then you show up to support. That is true bipartisan support
As for the BB you are smart bloke even you should be able to see that there is a genuine saving being made here. Joe can as well but to say so would go against what this opposition has been about for the last 2 and half years.
(Cue Groucho Marx in Horse Feathers
)
If the BB was been given out at $5-6k per first child (not sure of the exact amount because we've never rec'd it) and now that is going to be only $2k per first child and it's to be means tested as part of family benefit A surely that is a saving
yes or no. To say it isn't going to generate an overall savings is simply not true
Now before you go and throw in cost of PPL. If PPL remains but the BB goes and is replaced by $2k payment that is means tested surely a saving is still in play.
As i said yesterday Tony & Joe are happy that the Gillard govt are the ones making the tough calls on spending cuts, saves them having to do it. Only thing they have to come up with and hopefully tells us is how they intend to fund their promises and bring the budget into surplus. Something up until this point they've refused to do and no doubt will continue to refuse to do until they have to
