Hockey’s audit report – the Draconian Wish List of Corporate Australia

• Cutting the real value and tightening eligibility to the age pension, disability support pension, carers’ allowance and other payments.
• Extending the retirement age to 70 by 2054.
• Privatising nine government agencies, including Australia Post, abolishing another seven and merging 35.
• Charging $15 for every visit to the doctor, while forcing more people to take out private health insurance.
• Establishing a ‘minimum wage benchmark’ of 44% of average earnings.
• Winding back redundancy payments under the Fair Entitlements Guarantee.
• Altering the Gonski reforms to primary and secondary education funding by reverting to a system that allows the states more control over schools policy and funding.
• Delaying the full introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
• Scrapping or reducing funding to a range of industry and trade promotion assistance programs, including those for the auto and steel industries, and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.
• Slashing at least 15,000 public sector jobs, or 5% of the Commonwealth workforce.
• Requiring young job seekers to move to different parts of the country, even interstate, or lose their allowance.
• Expecting the elderly to pay more of their aged care costs themselves.
• etc etc ...

The shambles of recycled has-beens that now passes itself off as the Federal Cabinet is beginning to mumble that "we might not do any of these things" ... however they chose the top end of towners whose deliberations we can read above, and who no doubt received well above minimum wages for their sickening spew. Such a sense of entitlement to change society! Such a 1930s approach to economics! Such ignorance and arrogance! Such a "born to rule" hatred of the gains made in Australia since the middle of the last century.

This mob of bigots is about trashing everything that stands in the way of their myopic vision. And they claim to be doing it for our own good! Their intention is clearly the road to hell! As they treat refugees so they would clearly like to treat us! Reaction abroad breeds reaction at home and that's just one of their numerous "entitlements" we have to curtail right now!

We have somehow ended up with a triple A economy being run - or ruined - by triple A asses!
