I have collected a total of 4 months of unemployment benefits from Centrelink in my life, when I have worked since I was 15.

I've collected none, therefore my opinion is worth more than yours since I've received less assistance.

I am all for scraping the stage 3 tax cuts, because I know that the money I get from the tax cut will be more than offset by the ever increasing costs of living - including the social cost of having more and more people struggling.

It is petty and small minded to be supporting a set of tax cuts because you want an extra slice of cake, when the majority of the benefit will go to someone who already owns a bakery.

I am all for the stage 3 tax cuts

Glad we agree!

An unfortunate typo which has now been rectified. It's good to see a mistake and get a chance to fix it isn't it?

If you like taxes so much you’re welcome to pay extra.

I do love how you’re all blinded by stage 3 tax cuts while mining companies continue to pay nothing to extract our natural resources.
