Yeah you're right it may not be IMPOSSIBLE for them to go to the doctor, BUT they won't choose to, they won't want to use the money unless it's becoming a larger problem. As opposed to being able to go without a thought about money before. For some people money doesn't come easy. I once saw a...

I know people that are poor and can't afford ciggies. For some people it's an addiction, it isn't as easy and stopping for a tonne of people.

Then he shouldn't have slashed the health budget and then introduced a copayment, why not allocate the money he slashed to research instead of introducing the copayment.

Yeah you said it right there "People", we aren't talking about people, we're talking about families with more than one mouth to feed. I'm pretty sure not everyone is the same and everyone won't be able to do it. Physical capability isn't the only factor when it comes to being able to work...

Healthcare & Higher level education are two different areas. Healthcare is a far more basic and crucial need.

Yeah, not like we weren't paying before, money just magically appeared to fund our healthcare system, now at least we have a 7 dollar copayment for the healthcare system, oh wait no, that doesn't go into the healthcare system it goes to a research fund.

That isn't the case with everyone, there are people out there who don't get to spend money as comfortably as we do, they work really hard to earn what little money they get, and to them money is a lot more valuable than it would be to me or heaps of other people out there. Sure seven dollars is...

Sure maybe not to most of us, but to some people it is. You can't just forget the people in the country that struggle to make ends meet.

They still need to pay, what part of that don't you understand? It's still money, it may be less money but none the less it is an amount of money they need to factor into their family expenses.

Raising the price of fuel may be fine for some people but for others they'll seek an alternative, they might end up riding the bike to work or using more public transport. Charging $7 will in fact cause people to consider whether or not it is worth going because people that struggle to make ends...

Obviously not, they get their opinion fed through them through mainstream media. If there was a double dissolution now I doubt the Coalitions chances now.

He was better than Howard to the peoples eyes

Is anyone attending the BAcc Information Evening at UTS on the 20th of May?

Ross Gittins for treasurer pliss.

Bro he wants to help the younger generation. He is helping us by removing the deficit. This way we can focus on figuring out how to live a fucking life with the increased education expenses and shitty economy. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Surplus and Deficits are in no way indicative of an economy's status. GFC = big deficit, yet we remained very strong relative to others. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

The borrowing isn't such a big issue, we've always had to borrow money and we still have a triple A credit rating. What you said about it not being good for the long run is true but our economy isn't strong enough for us to take this measures yet. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

With the current state of our economy we kinda do? Cutting back on spending isn't going to help us when economic growth is slow as fuck as is. Returning the budget to a surplus is a political venture not an economical one. Every economist out there has continuously repeated that our economy...
