As if the super system isn't complex enough....
Leave it to the Greens and we'll all be in a bigger mess than we are today.
Let's allow some experienced business people to make decisions from now on.
If it's all about helping those on low-incomes why did I invest so much time and money (that I didn't have at the time) on my education to drag myself out of a low-income future...maybe I shouldn't have bothered...just wait for the handouts....Labor and Greens to the rescue...gotta love a class war when we have compulsory voting don't you.
